Notes on Egypt

Today Mr. Schick came back.  He told us about why he was out and what happened to his daughter.  We also finished up our projects.  We took about 20 minuets to do that so we did not have a lot of time to present.  Only two groups had the time to present so we just took notes on the other people's power points.  Here are some notes on them:
  • pyramids were build thousand of years ago
  • Sphinx is 150 ft long
  • thousands of years after hunting and gathering
  • writing used by ancient egypt 
  • used as something like a census
  • scribes are the people who wrote them
  • Nile
    • longest river in the world
    • the main river in Egypt
    • 4184 miles
    • contributed to spring floods
    • provided irrigation
    • used for drinking water
    • they knew that every year it was going to flood
