Things like religion, government, social class, writing, and their job specializations. It was surprising to me to find out that the ancient Egyptians way of leaving was somewhat like ours. Of course there are heavier differences, but still they were very modern for their times. Also I am in strong belief that we learned many things that are in our culture today from Ancient Egypt.

Egypt’s geography is very interesting. The Egyptians have mountains to the south of them and they also have two deserts to the east and west of them.

This delta provides fertile soil that is beneficial to the farmers of Egypt. Nearly 99 percent of the country lives within the Nile Delta region or along the Nile River, proving the importance of this wonderful river.
