Our <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Civility <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> is the best because ours PEGS stands out the most out of all civilizations and that is why ours should be show cased in the museum. The people in our group are Jenna Wegman, Casey Snead, Will Kline, Emma Hauserman, John Traughber, and Austin Huelsman. Egypt has the longest river in the WORLD it’s called the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Nile River__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">come check it out to really see how long it is. When your reading this just remember that this is the BEST civilization in the world.......EGYPT! <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Ancient <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Egypt is located in northern Africa, and the climate is very hot and dry. The <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Nile River__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> is long but it is very resourceful the people there use it for the fished for food, washed themselves and their clothes,collected water for <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__irrigation__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, drinking water and cooking. The <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Nile River__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> divides up Egypt. In ancient Egypt there was two lands the Red Land and the Black land, the Red land was the area of the desert and the area of the Black land was the area by the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Nile__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">which gave them fertile soil.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Our great civilization has the best politics in ancient times <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">! <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> For example their leader is a <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Pharaoh__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">. The Ancient Egyptians believe that the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Pharaoh__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> was half man god which is like the way Buddhists believe that their Dali Lama is Buddha in a new body. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ffff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They would become a Pharaoh when their fathers rule was over and if they were their son. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This is because our civilization had many <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"> __dynasties__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> so the family in power would change. They also had many other leaders such as army commanders, priests, tax collectors which is like the way they collect taxes in today's world and Viziers which are similar to the prime ministers of today. The priests were important to Ancient Egypt because they were very religious, the army commanders were important because the Ancient Egyptian army commanders were in the high class with the Priests. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ffff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Pharaoh__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff9900; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">had the most power and was in a class of his or her own!

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The civilization that we are doing is Ancient Egypt and their economics is the best of the best! <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Our economics is the best <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">e <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">conomics, in all the civilization because <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">a <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">ncient Egyptians lived in a well organized society which wasadministrated by people with jobs relating to the government of the country, law enforcement. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This is one reason why our civility is the best the ancient Egyptians didn’t have coined money so they had to trade with other civilizations like ancient Rome and Greece.The ancient Egyptians loved to trade that is why ancient Egypt is most important because every crop they grew they traded it for money or animals. One the most important thing about ancient Egypt is that they had a <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Pharaoh__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> that is important because the pharaoh was like their king or queen and today some countries either have a king, queen or maybe a president. Now that you have learned a little about our delicacy I hope you now know our civilization is the best!

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Even though ancient Egypt has long since disappeared many of their ideas and inventions are still a critical part of our life. One of the many things the Egyptians invented was the calender which they made based off the flooding of the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Nile__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">. This was and still is very important to us today because without it we wouldn't be able to organize important (or just everyday) things such as meetings or job times etc. and if our calender wasn’t constant, time wouldn't be reliable ( meaning that if there was not some way to accurately track time it wouldn't really be reliable) Another very substantial reason that their culture is the basis of many things in our society is <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Narrow'; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> that their mathematicians were the first ones to use the fraction/decimal system. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Without the fraction and decimal system they invented, much of modern math would not be around We probably would not be nearly as advanced as we are and our civilization as we know it might be changed with many of the inventions that we have now probably would not exist. One last reason that ancient Egyptian culture's very important is that they treated women with respect. In Egyptian culture women could own property and were allowed to serve in court cases and serve on the jury. Likewise they were also responsible for their own actions and could be punished and sued unlike other ancient cultures like Greece. Those are just a few of the reasons that the ancient Egyptian culture is so revered in our society and probably always will be.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As you can see Egypt is a great civilization. You learned about Egypt’s politics,Geography,Social and Economic things.I really hope you think Egypt is a great civilization. As you can see Egypt is the best because they have a great government and civilization. Egypt is and “always will be the best civilization.” They also have great <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__agriculture.__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> It also has great geography with all the <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__pyramids__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> and <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__sphinx's__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.I hope know you learned a lot about Egypt.
