ANCIENT EGYPT

BY RENE KATSOURIS

FIVE THUSANDS YEARS AGO , EGYPT WAS A POWERFULL AND RICH COUNTRY THANKS TO RIVER NILE .AROUNT THE NILE EGYPTIANS FARMERS GREW CROPS AND RAISED ANIMALS . NILE WAS FULL OF FISH AND PEOPLE FISHED A LOT. THEY WERE ALSO GOOD HUNTERS . THEY HUNT FOR SURVIVAL OR JUST FOR FUN.THEY TRAVELLED BY BOATS BECAUSE THE DESERT WAS DANGEROUS .

GODS AND GODNESSES

EGYPTIANS HAD LOTS OF GODS AND GODNESSES. THE MOST IMPORTANT WAS :

AMMUT

Khnemu

PYRAMIDES HEOPA’S PYRAMIDES IT’S ONE OF THE SEVEN wonders of the ancient world .IT IS 146,5 METERS TALL AND WEITH 6.2 MILLION TONS!!! EGYPTIANS BUILT THE PYRAMIDES TO HOSTE THE DEAD PHARAOHS BODIES FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME UNTIL THEY BECAME GODS.

IT HAD TO BE PERFECT FOR THE PHARAOH.THERE IS A ROOM WHERE THE MUMMIES ARE “LIVING” .
