today in the first part of class we studied for a test about ancient egypt. than eventually we took the test. he said that the tests average score was a 78. the test was fairly easy but i have no clue what i got. it definetly was not that hard of a test and it was a fair test.

upper egypt was a 500 mile long piece of land along the nile river which emptied in medditeranean 

the nile was a major provider of life 

the 2 lands were under rule of the pharaoh

the pharoah was all powerful  and worshipped as a god, 

the egyptians rely on harmony and balance of the universe, called the Maat 

pharoahs had multiple wives 

women could inherit money in land if they divorced their husband if they treated them wrong 

they wrote in heiroglphs which were pictures 

and they wrote in hieratic which is actual letters they used 

wooden sails were constructed to increase transportation 

the pyramids were massive tomb stones  which were colorful filled with marble 

they depict pictures of gods of regular poses 

they created the calender we use. 12 months 365 days and went of the stars 

their doctors focused on potions and medicine 

today in class i had great day because i got a B in the pyramid game. me and jude worked together but jude finished first. it was a very hard and frustrating game. it really makes you think alot. it was pretty fun but made me mad. the game was about driving boats and building your pyramid with the right people and right building materials.

today we watched 3 videos. the first one was about pyramids and what is inside of them. sicentists have been studying these pyramids and have found every single room inside and every single passageway. the pharoahs room is very large and was inside of a case that maybe had a lid on it. except the pharoah was not in its case and never found the body in it. the pharoahs wifes room was very small. there are many passageways into different rooms in these pyramids.

the second video we watched was the mumification process. first you soak it in salt for 40 days. this mummy was named heraclities. the heart was removed from the body, but the lungs stayed. second step was different oils, than thick resin, which stuck the strips of linen to the body. he was placed on a wooden board. than more resin and more rappings bounded them together. than a pouch wa splaced on the chest. thna a mummifies ivus was put on the abdomin. than strips covered those two things than a pannel of himself was placed where his head would be than rapped him in linen. than the rare treatment of red cloth on him. this means he was very special and would keep him safe

this guy pretty much talked about the daily life of the egyptians. the nile river was the best thing for the egyptians, it bathed them, it gave them water to drink, and it gave them amazing soil. planting was so easy for the egyptans because of the rich soil. they could just toss the seed around and in a couple of weeks there would be a small amount of food. egyptian communities really only lived along the nile. they could rush valuable things down stream to transport them faster.it was very easy for them to control the nile. just by making gateways for the water to rush in. there was an old kingdom a middle kingdom and a new kingdom

the egyptions were one of the first people to start telling time. they knew the time because of the even shadow lenghts which they called noon, meaning half of the day. when the sun was straight up in the sky it was noon.

also the egyptions had great breakthroughs in medicine. they were the first to have physicians and doctors. they found out that you cant be healed off the god you believed in and couldnt be done by magicians.

the egyptions contributed to alot of the discoveries in astronomy. astronomy was a part of their system of keeping time. they would use the stars to help them out also

the egyptions were the first ones to discover a plow. they would connect it to some sort of animal and a heavy weight on it to dig in while the animal is plowing the soil.

they were the first ones to invent the calender. they were so technical on their time period and wanted to be the first ones to start the real time of the world. they would have seasons and different months

blog 6

today we watched a movie about the ancient settlements and how patganewiqa hasnt evolved into a city lke New York City. This scientist who was a huge birdwatcher tends to visit this place many times. he has created a new language with them and they both understand it. they are great engineers but they only have a limit of natural things that they can think or build with. these people have very little to eat. but, these people are very smart. they use undescribable things from nature that nobody in todays modern world would think of.
