What affected the egyptians environment? This is the main idea that we will be looking into. There were many things that affected where the egyptians lived and their culture. They had to face many difficulties, but there were three things that I am certain affected their lives the most. The topics that I believe are the most important are: the papyrus plant, the desert, and the inundation. These three topics are very essential because without each one of them, life for the egyptians would be no more than being born and waiting to die.
The papyrus plant affected the egyptians environment in a good way because it kept them busy. It is said that papyrus is, “a thin triangular reed that grows along parts of the Nile. It was light, strong, thin, durable, and easy to carry,... there was nothing better for the purpose of writing.” This quote shows that papyrus was a unique and easier way to communicate with people that lived far away. The papyrus plant was a very essential item that was used in the egyptians daily lives. People made

“The vast and forbidding deserts on either side of the Nile acted as natural barriers between Egypt and other lands.” This means that the egyptians lived on a small portion of land, and it reduced their interaction with outsiders. This was both a bad thing and good thing. Bad, because the egyptians didn’t have any contact with “the world” beyond the desert, but good because the desert didn’t allow invaders or wars to break out within Egypt. This forces us to ask the question, would the egyptians have created different structures/houses if there were no desert? I believe the answer is yes because if there were no desert, then invaders would be able to get inside Egypt and there could be wars. They would have to make new houses, perhaps with stronger material and maybe a sturdy wall that could protect the people of
The purpose of this journal was to inform scholars and readers about the country of Egypt and its origins: the Ancient Egyption civilization and how it was built upon nature itself. The value of Hansen’s journal gives the perspective of a whole new world and geographical features. Egypt is surrounded by harsh unlivable climats, but the civilization was able to last over 500 years by using their geographical resources to their advantage to create faith, protection, and life as described by Kathy. Kathy has a PHD that she gained from Union University and is an associate publisher of Quintessential Careers. Despite the highly informative ideas, a limitation of the book is that it was written to describe Egyptian environmental aspects for readers to learn more about Egypt and maybe the desire to someday travel to Egypt. The book may have the perspective of a sort of travel guide showing a small bais while, trying to persuade people to travel to
One way the Nile helped shape ancient Egypt was buy give them a home and a way to transport themselves. In document A all of the important settlements were near the Nile. This is because they needed the Nile for food, water and ext. In document C it shows that the Nile is their one and only way of transportation. So the Nile is a major part of the egyptian life.
The Nile influenced Ancient Egypt in many ways. The first way is the flooding cycle. In paragraph six in,”How did the Nile shape Ancient Egypt it says”,”The flooding cycle determined the planting season for farmers. When it was planting season they grew flax for producing fine linen. They also harvested papyrus.
The Nile was a great river that provided good resources enabling the people of Egypt to survive without
Written in the early 1950’s ‘The Crucible’ by Arthur Miller is a homage to Salem 1692, where numerous villagers were accused and hanged for witchcraft. The play explores key thematic concerns of morality, religion and life. The related text ‘Homecoming’ written by Bruce Dawe in 1968 is an anti-war poem protesting Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War during the 1960s. It explores the brutal and futile nature of war, death and a collective stance against authority. Through the use of numerous literary and dramatic devices both composer’s highlight the relationship between individuals and politics and the impact of one’s choices to stress to audiences the necessity of understanding the composers point of view so one can effectively determine the nature and abuse of power.
Their belief in many gods also had an impact as well. It provided jobs like a high priest, priest and priestess. Again an architect had to design the temples for the god and an artist had to paint the interior of the temple. The Egyptian’s beliefs shaped their everyday lives in many ways.
Mesopotamia: The Mesopotamian civilization started near the Tigris River and Euphrates River. The land was usually clay, but it was good for the agriculture. The earliest one to civilize in the Mesopotamia, were the Sumerians, and the language they spoke was Sumerian. Even though Mesopotamia was being invaded and ruled by many different groups of people, but two things actually never changed; their language and their religious belief.
All four main ancient river valley civilizations were located in the Fertile Crescent therefore they all shared the same type of weather. Egypt was located south of the Mediterranean and west of the Red sea. Ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile for all of their daily needs. Without the Nile, Egypt would’ve been uninhabitable, being that it made that dry desert area fertile. The Nile was a curse and a blessing. Every year in the middle of July the Nile would flood. If the water was too much land and crops would be destroyed and when the water receded in October silt will be left behind and it was used to nourish their farm lands. Isolation by the surrounding
The Nile river improved life in ancient egypt by giving them giving fertile land giving fresh water And food like fish. Without water to bath in disease would spread faster. without water to grow crops the farmers could not have growns food. without fish the lower class people may not have been able to eat. The nile was an important part of life in Ancient Egypt.
The Nile River was the life force of ancient Egypt. People from all over the region immigrated to the area for its irrigation waters and rich silt deposits. The geography of the region played a huge role in the way the inhabitants and civilization in general was formed. The main core of Egypt covered 386, 560 square miles, of which only 11, 720 were cultivable (Tignor et al., Worlds Together, 62). The Nile differed itself specifically from the Tigris and Euphrates in that its waters did not irrigate or fertilize nearly as well but it did create green belts along the water. This created a society that flourished along the river. The Nile unlike Mesopotamia did not have a bountiful borderland but did have a desert rich in materials. The Niles predictability as the source of life and abundance shaped the character of the people and their culture. (Tignor et al., Worlds Together, 63). The Nile was peaceful and calm unlike the vicious Tigris And Euphrates Rivers. Egypt with its natural borders, which included the Mediterranean Sea, Deserts, and Large Waterfalls, was very isolated. This helped to achieve
The Nile shaped Egypt by influencing its geography, popular distribution, and settlements. The majority of settlements in Ancient Egypt were located around the Nile River Delta (Doc. A), where land was fertile, trade was good, and there were many natural resources. Because of geography in this civilization, Egyptians could easily protect and defend themselves, as well as settle down and have good lives.
Did you know without the Nile,The Sahara,and the Mediterranean sea there would be very little civilization in egypt?Maybe even none.First things first and that is the Sahara.The Sahara is what also helps the people survive! How?you’re asking well it helps by keeping all enemies out of sight so they won’t attack.Like who would want to walk that long?Not me I know that.Did you know that the Sahara is the world's longest desert.The Sahara's massive Arid climate makes it a weird place for civilization,Most of the Sahara is too harsh for people to live and survive.Did you also know it doesn't rain in the Sahara?Next things next,Did you know that The mediterranean was important to the Roman Empire?The Romans referred it as "their sea" and would not
Life in general was ideal for the Egyptians. Contrary to Mesopotamia, Egypt had the reliable Nile for constant irrigation as well as a location that was almost impossible to invade. Egyptians didn’t have to deal with warfare for some two thousand years. The Nile’s annual flood was so predictable that it provided the moisture needed to sustain life. (Hause, 2001, pg. 11)
Weight training is vital to your sports performance, because if you are matched with someone in skill, then it will take speed, power, and strength to defeat your opponent on the court, field or in the ring. Some athletes even coaches and trainers get confused with the deference between,bodybuilding or muscle building vs. weight training for strength and power for specific sports. For example having huge muscular legs does NOT mean you can jump very high, or run very fast; increased jumping ability comes from being able to lift with speed. If the weight continues to increase and the speed stays the same, power and vertical jumping ability will increase only if you maintain your body weight. When using weight lifting for sports the main goal is to improve and strengthen movements in your sport.
The civilization of Ancient Egypt was one of the earliest in history one of the things that most help the Ancient egyptians was the Nile river.The Nile river is located in egypt and was a huge benefit to the Ancient Egyptians (Transportation,Water,Food),. Today i am going to explain why that is.
