Egypt is a place of many different topics. It is a place where intrigue and mystique reach an all-time high, especially compared to our two previous units: Stone Age and Mesopotamia. True, those places were important for the development of mankind, but Ancient Egypt fascinates people to this day. It is a place where the seemingly impossible occurred. Its where the pyramids were built, where mummification was performed, where the Nile was used. It is a place that we need to conquer, and to do that, we are going to work together. Your task for this blog post is to help your social studies class "piece" together ancient Egypt.

ReplyDeleteMy topic is daily life.
ReplyDeleteIn ancient Egypt the children are the most importent part of the familey.If a couple did not have children the would adopt.Also you can get a divorse and the women get the children,all of the stuff in the house plus 1/3 of the mans wealth.
My topic is mummification. Whent they first started mummification they buried the corpse in rectangular pits in the desert. But that didn't turn out so well so the set them in coffins. Putting them in coffins helped by making it so animals would not disturb the bodies. But since they were not in the hot desert sand they were not dihydrated and preserved but they were decaded. That didn't work out also... They found by wrapping them in strips of linen they would be able to persere the bodies with almost no decay at all. As of today we call that mummification.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is Kush/Nubia. It is located on the Nile river south of Egypt. The common people lived in farming villages. These people did not depend on the Nile to grow crops. They enjoyed the tropical rainfall all year long. For about 100 years nobles of Kush thought they were egytians. Also around 750 CE Islamics used camels to transport goods across the desert. One last important thing is that if you ask why I put Kush/Nubia is that Kush took in Nubia and the people refer to themselves now to nibians.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is mummification. First, they would leave the body out in the sun for 40 days. Then the mummies dry out naturally. Or if they had money they could go to a profecinal mummy maker. So they would look good for their after life.

ReplyDeleteMy topic is pyramids
ReplyDeleteAncient Egyptains built pyramids to hold the rooyal tomb of their kings.
The pyramids were also used as storage rooms.
Pyramids had secret passage ways and traps to catch (KILL) robbers.
Hieroglyphics/Rosetta Stone Scibes made pictures on walls that are called hieroglyphics. This took alot of time and they wrote everything down. Hundreds of years later archaeologists discovered these and thought they were fascinating! They found these in pyramids and tombs. No one left in the world knew what these meant. Mere two hundred years ago a stone was found in Egypt. This has the same story on there three times. It was in Greek, Demotic, and Hieroglyphics. They call thus Rosetta Stone. Since we can see it in these three languages, we can figure out what the hieroglyphics actually means
ReplyDeleteMy topic is Kush and Nubia. First is Nubia (the land of gold). Nubia was located on the Nile river So waz Kush. Nubia is also known as the land of the bow, because of their archers were expert and fierce. It was important for them to be strong. Now onto Kush. Kush was the iron capital of the acient world. Kush had something other kingdoms wanted. They had iron. This time in history was known as Iron Age.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is Hieroglyphics/Rosetta stone.
ReplyDeletepeople who did the writing where called scribes.but it usually took a long time to write it. so they made a new type of writing called demestic script. they could now write alot faster. there is no one left in the world who remembers what hieroglyphics ment.
My topic is about acheivments/inventions.
ReplyDeleteI learned that they invented the decimal system and they only used seven symbols. Also, the egyptions never owned anything, it was all the pharo's. The scribes (writers) only had heiroglyphics witch was sometimes confusing so the egyptions made something called demotic script. The egyptions also worshiped over 2,000 gods!!! and lastly, mummifacation was commom. even poor people laid their dead family memebers out in the sun to mummify!
My topip is daily life, the ancient egyptions were not in love with death, but with life. In ancient Egypt, children were the heart of the family. If a couple could not have a child, they would adopt a child. It was important that chldren learned to be caring. They spent along time trying to be fair all the time. The ancient Egyptions believed that you could only reach your afterlife if your heart was light.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is Hieroglyphics, Rosetta Stone.
ReplyDeleteHierolgyphics is a system of writing that the Scribes did. The Scribes had to find an easier and faster way to write, so they came up with Demotic Script. Although most people didn't know how to read Hieroglyphics, it was so frustrating for them. Merely 200 years ago archeologists found a stone that had a short story in Greek on it. The name of the famous stone was called the Rosetta Stone.
My topic is achienments and inventions, I am going to tell you about one invention called the Book of the Dead. The Book of the Dead is NOTa book. It is a nickname for a bunch of magical spells written down in a veritey of ways by the Egyptians. Mostly all of the spells that had been discovered to date were written to help the ancietn Egytians safley reach their afterlife. Egytologists have found about 200 different spells so far, most written on pyprus some written on tomb walls.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is The Nile River.
ReplyDeleteTo begin with, the Nile River is shaped like the lotus flower, often found in Egyptian art. In addition, The Nile is over 4000 miles long. Being that long, it is the longest river in the world! Equally important, the Nile has many gifts. It floods every spring, so it makes good rich soil, great for growing crops. It has an abundance of fresh water, so it is used for drinking and bathing. Another thing, the Papyrus weed that grows along the Nile are used to make materials for building, clothes, and even paper. The Nile has helped people in many ways, without it, Egypt would be a desert.
My topic is..... Pyramids
ReplyDeleteDuring the time of the old kingdom ancient Egyptains built pyramids to hold the royal tombs. Pyramids were full of treasures. The first pytamind, the Step pyramid was built around 2700BCE. Nearly 5000 years ago. Pyramid construction was abandoned.
My toppic is Hieroglyphics, and Roseta Stone. Hieoglyphics are the way the egyptoins wrote things down using pictures. The egyptions wrote everthing down, absolutly everthing; which was a big problemfpr the scribes. Eventhough hieroglyphics wrere pretty they took along time to wright down. The Roseta Stone was found mearly 200 years ago in egypt. The stone had the same short story written on them in Greek, Domotic, and in hieroglyphics. Today the Roseta Stone is displayed in a mueseum in Londen.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is valley of the kings. The valley of the kings is a valley in egypt. This area as been a focus of archaeological and egyptological exploration since the end of the 18th century. Tombs and burials continue to stimulate research and interest. The valley stands on the west bank of the Nile. the Valley of the Kings has two components- the East Valley and West Vallley.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is mummification. The first process of mummification is embalming the body. After the embalmers clean the body they take out the internal organs. Then the body is covered and stuffed with natron. Then after 40 days the dehydrated organs are put back in the mummy. And then they wrap the body with linen. They keep adding more layers of wrap and resin goes on to help glue them together. Cloths go on the mummy and its lowered into the coffin.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is the Nile River. There were two desserts to the east and the west of the Nile River, and moutains to the south. The Nile River is the worlds longest River! It's shaped liked the Lotus Flower so often used in ancient Edyptian art. Each spring, water would run off the mountains and the Nile River would flood. As the flood waters receeded, black rich fertle soil was left behind. The Nile River provided transportation for trading,materials for building buildings, and cloth for clothes.

ReplyDeleteKing Tut was only nine years old when he became a pharaoh. He died when he was 18 years old he died that was a sad moment. That was only nine years later just emagen it nine years from now what if you died. The people that lived there did not have time to build his tomb. Compared to the other pharaohs they got a tomb. But later on he got his tumb and he looked great in it. But because his tomb was so small, it was overlooked for thousands of years that is a long time. In 1922, a british archeaologist named howard carter decided to enter King Tuts tomb. Robbers might have been there because there where a lot of gold rings. But they found some other tings on the floor as if they had been droped. Carter found a bunch of treaser. In side the tomb like a gold mask that was a frame of King Tuts face.King Tut

The pyrimids that served as tombs had elabrate tunnels and passages, built to mkae it harder for greedy robbers to steal all the riches. They were actully ment for no one to enter the King's tomb. The pharaohs were buried with all kinds of things, things that Egyptions believed they would use in the second life. Fancy furniture, clothing, and jewelry have been found deep down with the mummies. Even food was kept for a royal feast they beileved kings would attend in the next life. Pets were also buried with them like dogs, cats, baboons, gazelle and so were very close commpanions. Sadly, many of the tombs have been robbed because people have wanted all the riches to themselves.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is hieroglyphics/Rosetta stone. Over 5000 years ago,the anceint Egyptains wrote things down using a picture writing called hieroglyphics. The people who did the actual writing were called scribes. Scribes needed a faster way to write things dawn. Theycreated a new form of writing called Domotic script. The new scribes did not study the old languoge of hieroglyphics
ReplyDeleteMy topic is the Three Kingdoms. The Three Kingdoms are The Old Kingdom, The Middle Kingdom, and The New Kindom. In the Old Kindom when the built the pyramids they put the Pharoas only in the pyriamds. In the Middle Age that changed. In the middle age they stopped putting pharoas in the pyramids because they thougt it would be easier to steal the bodies. In the new kingdom was Egypts expansion age. Pharoas were all powerful
ReplyDeleteMy topic is Valley of the Kings. Valley of the kings is a valley in Egypt where for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century. Valley of the kings was sometimes called valley of the gates of the kings. The valley stands on the west bank of the nile.The valley is known to contain 63 tombs and chambers. I think valley of the kings is a very cool place hidden with tons of artifactts.
ReplyDeleteThe most powerful person in Egypt is the Pharaoh.The Pharaoh was the political and religous leader of the Egyptian people holding the titles: Lord of the Two Lands and High Preist of Every Temple.
ReplyDeleteMy Topic Is The Three Kingdoms
ReplyDeleteArchaeologists noticed something very interesting. THey realized that much Egypts ancient history could be divided into three big blocks of time. In each block all of the pharaohs behaved in a certain way. Scientists named them, The Old Kingdom, The middle Kingdom, and The New Kingdom. The middle Kingdom was Egypts Golden age. The New Kingdom was Egypts expanded her borders through military conquest and became a world power
My topic is Pyramids. It was only during the time of the Old Kingdom that the Ancient Egyptains were huge structures. Pyramids had storage rooms, courtyards, secret passageways, and all kinds of fancy traps designed to catch robbers who tried to break into the pyramid. The first pyramid, The Step Pyramid, was built around 2700 BCE, nearly 5000 years ago. Grave robbers knew exactly where the pharaohs where buried, and thus knew exactly where to find riches and wealth.

ReplyDeleteMy topic is gods and goddests. Some of the gods and goddests were Arubis, Bastet, Bes, Horus, Isis,orisis,Ra,Sekmet, Seth, and Toth. Eygiptians were not afraid of gods. Eygiptians built temples to honnar gods and goddests. Eygipians prayed to gods in the temples to gods and if there request was not granted they would wack the temple when they seen it.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is Pharaohs. Most of the Pharaohs were men but some like Nefertiti and Cleopatra, were not men they were women. A pharaoh was head of the government and high priest of every temple. The people of Egypt considered the pharaoh to be half-man/women, half-god. The first real pharaoh was Narmer (sometimes called Menes.) The most famous pharaoh todat is Tutankhamun.

My topic is Kush and Nubia.
ReplyDeleteThe Kingdom of Kush is also known as Nubia. Nubia was known as the Land of Gold. It was also known as The Land of the Bow because the archer were expert and fierce. They also protected the people. Unlike Egypt, they didn't have to rely on the Nile River for good and rich soil. They enjoyed tropical rainfall all year long. The KIngdom of Kush was like Ancient Egypt in many ways. They worshipped multiple gods, mummification, and they built pyramids. Their pyramids were different though. They had flat tops.
My topic is Hieroglyphics/Rosette Stone.
ReplyDeleteHigeroglyphics were basicly pictures. Scribes would draw them. The problem was they wrote everything down and it took forever. They made a new kind called Demotic script. It was much faster! Hundreds of years later archaeologists discovered them. They didn't know how to read them. So they discovered the Rosette Stone. It translated every thing for them.
My topic is Kush and Nubia. Nubia was also known as either "Land of Gold" or "Land of the Bow". Many kingdoms wanted to control Nubia because it was a land of natural wealth. Kush had iron that all the other kingdoms wanted. Trade was very important to Kush.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is Hieroglyphics and the Rosetta stone. 5,000 years ago people from egypt created a new writing system. It was easy for them to use. Hundreds of years later archaelogists discovered the unique writing. The problem was that it was confusing. Noone knew how to read it. But 200 years ago a stone was dicovered that had writing on it in greek and Hieroglyphics. The Rosetta Stone helped us learn the writing.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is valley of the kings.
ReplyDeleteOne fact about the valley of the kings is that the valley of the kings is where great Egyptian kings are buried. Also the road to the valley of the kings was called "where Re sets'". The interesting fact about that is that there are two paths but there are four tombs. Another interesting fact is the valley of the kings is located near Luxar which in Ancient Egypt Was Thebes. Thebes was the capitol of the Egyptian dynasties during the period of the new kingdom.
My topic is obelisks. Obelisks were made out of stone.They were at least 70 feet tall and most were taller.Pharaohs ordered monuments so their people would remember them.There were two most common monuments they would demand.There was the obelisks and temples.An example of an oblelisk is Cleopatra's needle.One of these needles are located in the city of Westminster London on the Victoria Embankment near the Golden Jubilee Bridges.However there is more than one needle there is 4 including the one in London.

I had the three kingdoms.
ReplyDeleteThe first kingdom was the Old Kingdom. The Old Kingdom started in the year 2700 BCE and ended in the year 2200 BCE. This was the only time period that pharos were burried in pyramids. They built so many pyramids during this time period that it was called "The Pyramid Age".
The second kingdom was the Middle Kingdom. The middle kingdom was Egypt's "Golden Age". This was the time period that their trading, arts, and literature flourished.
The last kingdom was the New Kingdom. During the new kingdom all pharos were all burried in geometric area called the "Valley of the Kings".

ReplyDeleteI am doing mummification.- The earliest ancient Egyptians buried their dead in small pits in the desert. The heat of the sand dehydrated the bodies quikly, creating mummies. Later, the ancient Egyptians began burying their dead in coffins to protect them from wild animals in the desert. However, they realised that bodies placed in coffins decayed when they were not exposed to the hot, dry sand of the desert. Over many centuries the ancient Egytians made a method of preserving bodies so they would stay, while buried, lifelike.

Nubia formed a corridor along the Nile River particularly gold and egyptians during the new kingdom. It has been suggested that the orgin of the Nubia might be egyptions words for gods.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is the Pyramids. The Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for the pharaohs and their queens. There are eithy pyramids known today from Egypt. The most well known of these pyramids was built for the pharaoh Khufu. It is known as the Great Pyramid. During the time of the Old Kingdom that the egyptians built pyramids to hold the royal tombs of their kings. The first pyramid the step pyramid was built around 2700 BCE. The penalty for grave robbing was death.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is mummification. Whent they first started mummification they buried the corpse in rectangular pits in the desert. But that didn't turn out so well so the set them in coffins. Putting them in coffins helped by making it so animals would not disturb the bodies. But since they were not in the hot desert sand they were not dihydrated and preserved but they were decaded. That didn't work out also... They found by wrapping them in strips of linen they would be able to persere the bodies with almost no decay at all. As of today we call that mummification.
