Egypt

__Physical Features and Climate__ Back then the egyptians had two important seasons called mild winter,that took place in November to April and very hot summers from May to October.

__Use of the Environment__ The egyptians used thier land for building pyramids, or planting wheat. They built the pyramids for the rich to be buried in. The egyptians also planted cotton to make clothing. They made the bricks for the pyramids out of clay and straw. the bricks would wheigh about 1 and a half tons. That's alot!

__Government__ Kings or queens were called pharaohs. One of the most famous Pharoah of all is King Tutankhanem. (King Tut) He was famous because his tomb was in perfect shape or condition. King Tutankhamen's tomb was also stolen once or twice after he was put in and everything was replaced back to where it was found. He died in 1343 B.C. in the middle of January. The mummy was then found by: Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon. King tut's time line would be:
 * Born: 1347 B.C.
 * Death: 1323 and was around the age of 18.
 * Year of throne: 1333 or 1323 B.C.
 * People say that King Tutankhamen died from a big huge blow to the back of his head and he died. Nobody knows what really happened.

__Social Needs__ Egypt now has doctor's and medicine and of course the people who make medicine have a big part in it too. Also my mom is a doctor and she used to work in a place called Karachi it wasn't very wealthy but right then and there she decided to work there and she always wanted to help people in rural communities. I am very proud of her! In ancient egypt the citizens were treated the wrong way the poor treayed like garbage and rich like gods! And that's why THE POOR DIED BEFORE THE RICH BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION! But some doctors didn't care about the difference at that's where my mom came in. She's my hero!

__Values and Beliefs__ The Egyptians dearly valued thier cats. Most of them were balled and were used for hunting birds and mice .and were made wooden tombs the shape of a cat when they died but wern't wrapped up and mummified. Scientists used to believe //some// cats were mummified and put with it's owner in their tomb, dead or alive, but now they have pulled a few apart to find that the Egyptians just used cotton and twigs to make them into the shape of a cat. Just goes to show ,we can easily be fooled!!! __Scientific and Technological Advances__ The ancient Egyptians always had ways of helping people may it be bye herbs or plants which are the same thing but now they are changing the technologies are different and more advanced! The //Ancient Egyptian technology// are a set of artifacts and customs that lasted for thousands of years. The Egyptians invented and used many basic machines, such as the ramps and the levevrs, to help with building .They used rope pieces. Egyptian paper made from payprus, and pottery, was produced and brought through the Meditarainenans. The Egyptians also played an important part in developing Mediterranean technology including ships and lighthouses!

__Other__ In acient egypt families would shave thier eyebrows when their cat died. If someone died in the family then the cat would also be mumified, dead or alive! And they put the cat into the tomb.

__Mummification__ The first steps of mummification the mummy makers would wash the body well.Then they would take out the internal organs all except heart. Egyptians thought the dead would need the heart left alone to succefuly travel to the afterlife. If pharaoh didn't make it to the afterlife, they thought it would mean terrible for their kingdom. Second they would take the internal organs and put them in canopic jars and placed it in the tomb for them in the after life. Then they would stuff the body with a special salt called natron. They would wait 40 days with the salt in the bottom. The body would become as dry and shrunken as a prune. They wanted to give Pharoahs a more life like shape so they stuffed cloth soaked in oils and spices inside. Finally they would wrap up the body with long fine strips of cloth. They wrapped around every single finger and toe. After being wrapped they would cover the wrapped body with resin to help make it stick together as to nobody can destroy it in getting in the way of the person travelling to the after life.

__Culture__ Ancient egyptians always wore something on their head! At the pharoh's time they wore big masks made of gold! But you wore around your head! But now sometimes they wear head dresses close to my culture too! But there made out of fabric! So we cut down from back then! At least it doesn't cost that much! The Egyptians always had ways to practise their culture in different ways like a little house or barn. Egypt also has a place called a mosque and they practise their different religions in that mosque which is a sacride prayer ground for muslims. But it is also related to my culture too!
