One day, as I was cleaning up my attic, I looked through a box and found an old photo album. I was curious to see what was inside, it was pictures of my dad and grandfather. As my eyes filled with tears I thought back to when I was younger, my mother would always tell me stories of my dad and grandpa exploring. One story that always stuck with me was when they had gone to Egypt. She would always tell me about the different colors, smells, tastes and sight there and ever since I have always dreamed of visiting there because that is where my father and grandfather died. While they were looking for artifacts, a huge sandstorm came and you could barely see an inch ahead of you. They were trying to get back to the truck when they fell into a hole they had dug searching for artifacts it was over fifty feet deep and they had both fallen to their deaths. My mom was pregnant with me when this happened and I was born five months later and have always wanted to explore. After looking through the photo album something inside of me changed and that when I decided I was going to follow my dreams of visiting Egypt. My mom had always wanted me to follow my dreams and to have experiences and so when I visit Egypt I want to explore the massive pyramids, ride camels, try new foods and have life changing experiences.

There is a place where not far from my hometown, which, since my childhood, still holds the secrets to life. It was a place where we were free. Free to do whatever we wanted to do, say whatever we wanted to say, it was our place, our river. It was a simple place, no paved or asphalt roads for the commotion of busy traffic, no tall buildings to block out the sunlight, no sense of time to feel rushed or anxious, no effects from the outside world. It was a beach on the coast of Lake Sakakawea called “Little Egypt.”
Ancient Egypt was a captivating and intricate civilization. Over the years, historians have found it easier to study this civilization, rather than other historical civilizations, because the Egyptians went through great lengths to record their history. Besides being decent record keepers, they were very religious, and “ahead of their time,” due to their technological and economic breakthroughs. Because of the aspects of this culture, it has to be one of the greatest civilizations of the world.
Egypt is a land of rich culture, society, religion, customs, and prosperity. Tourists flock over in floods to marvel at the wonders of Egypt: the pyramids, the temples, the Sphinx, and the fortresses. But if the Egyptians hadn’t been lucky to stumble upon the land of Egypt, there would not be much left to see. Egypt’s unique geography separates it from other lands. Each of the five themes of geography, which are location, region, place, interaction, and movement, are distinctly different from the others and have shaped Egypt’s environment throughout the ages.
Ramses the Pharaoh wouldn’t let the Israelites out of Egypt, so Moses stepped in and led the Israelites out of Egypt, which we know as the Exodus. If I were an Israelite, I would join Moses out of Egypt. I would do this because being a slave would mean being tortured. Moreover, Moses had powers from God, so it was save to be with him. He had the Ten Commandments, so people would know how to live their daily lives.
Ancient Egypt, an ancient civilization known today as one of the world’s greatest, would last over 3000 years thanks to the many Egyptians contributing to its success. One such Egyptian was the Pharaoh, Akhenaton. Born to King Amenhotep III, Akhenaton ascended to the throne at around 1353 BCE . He was also known as Amenhotep IV, but would later change his name to Akhenaton in order to worship the god “Aton” . Akhenaton may be considered one of the most important figures in Egyptian history seeing that in the seventeen years he ruled , Akhenaton was a very unorthodox, innovative individual, who did not follow the conventional ideas the ancient Egyptians held at the time. This could be seen through his creation of a new city, his artistic innovations, and his beginning of the religious revolution.
Ancient Egypt, one of the most successful and spectacular civilizations in human history, has been studied by modern day scholars for its amazing accomplishments. Lasting for over 3,000 years, this civilization thrived in the Nile River Valley and grew to be a united kingdom with pharaohs, merchants, artisans, priests, teachers, and farmers. It can be argued that Egypt was the most highly advanced civilization of the time due to their stunning architecture, strong central government, and complex worldview that was highly optimistic and positive.
“You were born in the mother of all lands.” To my parents, Egypt’s title of being the “mother” of the world was irrefutable. However, growing up, the sun-scorched country I was born in meant little to nothing to me. I was occupied with post-immigration life in Virginia, and Egypt became a distant fabrication. However, when financial hardships began to weigh too heavily on my father’s shoulders, he made the economic choice to send my sisters and I to Egypt.
According to the book of dead the ancient Egyptians individual after the death went on a journey in their afterlife, a spiritual journey as they are judged and passed through different gates according to the Gods. It’s not the same for everyone it is based on their righteousness and their sins against the Gods and the Goddesses, the righteous are taken ahead in the paradise and the ones who sin are punished by Gods and monsters on their way.

Egyptians began to settle along the banks of the Nile River, Starting as far north as to the city of Alexandria all the way down south to Aswan. They developed into a well-structured society as Far East to the Red Sea and west to Dakhia, Oasis among many (Figure 1.). The Nile River reached far lending a hand in creating a well-known civilization that consisted of building pyramids and producing crops for their pharaoh. Evolving from hunters and gatherers into agriculturalists throughout history, Egypt has claimed to be one of the earliest and most spectacular civilizations of ancient times. One could wonder if, what led to the collapse of this great society resulted from the Egyptians interaction with the environment by overusing

What is a good country? Is a good country a country with a cheerful population? Is a good country a country which controls more land than the next? Is a good country a country whose government and economic system has absolutely no problems? Or is a good country a country that has a delicate balance of benefits and problems. Well, we are here today to discuss the corruption of Egypt, a good country, by Britain, a huge and powerful country. Although Britain was not the first, Britain has retained control of Egypt for nearly 40 years and I am here today to ask for the freedom and decolonization of Egypt from Britain.<br><br>This problem all started in 1882 when the British forced Napoleon Bonaparte, the leader of the French Army, out of
Egypt today can be a viable market for the foreign investor, especially the investor who has the ability to see the rewards of in investing in the region for the long haul. The world and Egypt both realize that the region is the gateway to the Middle East. Egypt is leading the way for Arabic countries to embrace a new way of doing business and opening their borders to the ‘global village’ concept.
It wasn't me, I wouldn't, I couldn't specially to you my powerful master, my master you trusted me with your bountiful riches I did all you asked. Two very broad-shouldered guards with rippling muscles attached to their arms drug the smaller palace servant. These tunic covered men made the earth shake at every step. Joseph cried out in a complete, utter despair of being ripped away from the something good in his life for the second time. Why he cried why have you left me, god all I am, cursed by everyone. The dark, cold cobblestone rubbed against the needs of Joseph as he was dragged closer and closer to the place that he thought God's love would not stretch and his condemning mindset. The great large splintered wooden door with bars made of
