Notes on the Prezi on Ancient Egypt

Ancient Egypt Preziwill cover Geography, daily life, Pharohs, gods and godesses, and the pyramids. Egyptian life is centered around the Nile River. The Nile River flows north into the Mediterrainian Sea.
Every July the Nile River floods. Every October it leaves behind rich soil. The delta is a broad, marshy triangular area of fertile soil. Managing the river required technological breakthroughs in irrigation. The Great sphinx of Giza is one of the most known egyptian structures. It was a recumbent lion with a human's head.
it is the oldest monumental statue in the world. Daily life of the egyptians. Pharoah was at the top, then government officials, soldiers, scribes, merchants, artisans, farmers, slaves and servants. Slaves and servants helped the wealthy with household jobs. Farmers raised wheat, barley, lentils, onions benefited from Nile irrigation. Artisans carved statues and art jobs. They used money/ barter system was used. Later, coinage came out. Scribes take records and stories wrote down everytthing.
