The Egypt
Egyptian culture arose approximately five thousand
years ago near the Nile in North Eastern Africa. It was a
unique culture that prospered for almost three thousand
year, making it one of the longest lasting civilizations in
history. Fortunately for people today, the Egyptians left
many pieces of their art and writing in good condition. We
can therefore piece together the way these people lived
and understand the ways in which they have influenced
the modern world.

The Nile
The Nile is a major northflowing river in Africa,
generally regarded as the
longest river, though not the
most voluminous, in the
world. The Nile has two
major tributaries, the White
Nile and Blue Nile, the latter
being the source of most of
the Nile's water and fertile
soil, but the former being
the longer of the two.

要喔！
The Nile was very important for the
ancient Egyptians. It provided rich soil for
agriculture and an efficient means of
transportation. Egyptian farmers began
growing large quantities of food around the
year 3000 B.C., and then traveled down
the Nile and into the Mediterranean Sea to
trade. Once the people were easily fed a
society that became one of the most
advanced in the world was formed. The
Egyptians devised the 365 day calendar
and were the first people to create a
national government. They also invented a
writing form by using pictures.

The ancient Egyptians were dark-skinned
people with black hair. They mostly dressed in
white linen garments and wore leather sandals on
their feet. The Egyptians especially liked cosmetics
and jewelry. Women wore red lip powder and
colored their eyebrows with gray, black and green
paint. Men also outlined their eyes and sometimes
wore as much makeup as the women.

Both men and women wore perfume and jewelry
such as rings, bracelets and necklaces. The Egyptians
also had a fascination with religion and life after death.
Much of their time was spent preparing for life after
death and this was the major reason behind their most
famous constructions, the Pyramids. The pyramids were
built as massive tombs for Egyptians rulers. Each
Pyramid was built over a burial chamber in order to
protect the dead soul and keep it safe from the common
people.

The Pyramid
A pyramid is any threedimensional structure where the
upper surfaces are triangular and
converge on one point. The base
of pyramids are usually
quadrilateral or trilateral but
generally it can be any polygon
shape), meaning that a pyramid
usually has three or four sides.
For thousands of years, the largest
structures on Earth were pyramids:
first the Red Pyramid in the Dashur
Necropolis and then the Great
Pyramid of Khufu, the only remaining
Wonder of the World.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu
A Pharaoh of Old Kingdom
Most of the Pyramids were built around 4,500 years
ago. When people in the modern age began to explore
the tombs underneath the Pyramids, they found jewelry,
clothes, art and weapons. The objects in the tomb were
for the ruler to take into the next life. The art included
paintings, showing what life was like in Egyptian times.
The jewelry was the work of highly skilled craftsmen and
the clothes gave experts a clear insight into the dress
style of ancient Egypt.

Thirty dynasties rose and fell during the years of
ancient Egypt. One of the most famous rulers was
Tutenkharmen of the 20th dynasty. He was the ruler
around the year 1300 B.C. and encouraged both old
and modern forms of Egyptian religion. Tutenkharmen
was one of Egypt’s strongest leaders, and the gold and
other jewelry found in his tomb are among the finest
treasures ever found.

Egyptian city of Cairo, and every year they attract
thousands of visitors. Yet despite what we know about
the Egyptians, we still have unanswered questions.
Many of these questions shall remain mysteries lost
