Egypt

 Thursday’s Western Civilizations class brought us some more notes as well as our quiz grades. On my quiz, I got an 80%. After going over the answers for the quiz, we got out our composition books and took notes on Mr. Schick’s Prezi on Egypt. We covered all the main topics related to Egypt, including the geography and daily life. Most of Egypt, even today, is located within a few miles of the Nile River, one of the only rivers in the world to flow from South to North. However, this would mean that they would be affected by the yearly flooding of the Nile, which occurred every July. One plus to this flooding is that once the water level went down it left behind incredibly fertile land for planting. Also, their pharaohs were treated as gods on Earth. This meant that you were infallible, until you messed up. A lot of this information is  not new to me for two reasons, I have studied Egypt before in 6^th grade and there was a lot of facts related to Egypt in Rick Riordan’s Kane Chronicles.
