Egypt was protected y a natural barrier. To the East and West, were vast deserts, known as the Red Land, and were very difficult for Armies to cross, to the south was a mountain, that was near impassable, and to the north was the Nile, difficult to cross as well. Also, the Nile allowed them to go upstream on boats, for both quick transportation, and trading with other countries. As well as travel, it also flooded each year, providing water for their crops. It also darkened the soil, giving the name,”The Black Land”. The Egyptians truly knew how to make do with what they had

__Economic:__  Egyptians, you could say they were master economists. They Always bargained for prices, never had a fixed price. This meant that after years of trading, they knew the true value of any item, for example: One would give one cow for a set of tools, and a few debens. The Egyptians never ran out of the things they needed though, because the Pharaoh ultimately decided what imports entered Egypt, and what exports left Egypt, to go to various countries.He did this to balance the needs and wants of the people. The products of Egypt were made or harvested with work of course. The boys of Egypt learned the jobs of their parents, while the girls learned to tend to the house. This meant that as long as there was a steady population, there was a steady amount of jobs to meet the demands of Egypt.

Egypt’s government was the most stable out of all the ancient civilizations. He or she made all the important decisions wisely. The pharaohs made the laws and were the rulers of Egypt. The Pharaohs controlled everything and everyone in Egypt. They believed that the Pharaohs were gods. Another reason Egypt's government was superior was their punishments. Some punishments for breaking the law was exile, or banishment from Egypt, or they would take hot Iron, and mark your skin permanently. Some more serious punishments were mutilation, burning alive or drowning. Even for a minor crime like stealing you could get your fingers or even your whole hand cut off.  The third reason that Egypt's government was so good was that by the new kingdom there army improved. They used shields to hide behind and they started to use war chariots. They also started using war rams and scaling ladders to get over walls, and they had shock troops and archers. That's why Egypt had the best government of the ancient civilizations. Social <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What makes Egypt a great civilization is the social part of Egypt. Egypt is divided into many different ranks based on the social system. This is one of the things that makes Egypt special. The Pharaoh who ruled all of Egypt owned all the people the land and the animals. Many people who were born into a ruling family had a good chance of becoming a ruler someday. On the social class pyramid after the Pharaohs were the viziers, the high priest and nobles, then regular priests, engineers and doctors, scribes, craftsmen, soldiers, farmers, tomb builders and last the slaves who could be sold and bought in Egypt. All of these people had a certain job and as long as everyone was doing what the were supposed to be doing Egypt stayed in tack. The organization in Egypt also made Egypt a great civilization. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> There were 115 gods that the Egyptians worshipped. The Egyptians believed that these gods each were magical.Ra was one of the more popular gods in Egypt. He was the god of sun. Egyptians even made animal sacrifices for their gods. Hathor was also a god that the Egyptians worshipped he was the god who personified the principles of love. All of these gods meant and did something for the people of Egypt this is another reason why Egypt is a great civilization. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Egyptians are polytheistic so they believed in many gods. The official religion in Egypt is Islum and Muslim. 98% of the language in Egypt is spoken in Arabic. The invaders of Arabia brought the religion Muslim to Egypt. Egyptians also worshipped their gods with animal sacrifices.
