 DEAR SIR ,

We as group of seventh grade student all agree that ancient Egypt is the best civilization and should be staring in the grand opening. Ancient Egypt is a very interesting and well maintained civilization. There are many jobs, many people, and was long lasting. Ancient Egypt was in the same general area that present day Egypt is in, north western Africa. They made any inventions that we could not function without.  In Egypt there is a river called the Nile River.The Nile is the worlds longest river its over 4000 miles long.Each year the Nile flooded because if the water that runs of of the mountains and in to the Nile. Each year as the water from the flood began evaporate it left rich fertile soil so they called that soil the gift of the Nile. The Nile provided fresh water, supplies to make wood and clothes ,and even paper! That’s one cool river, and there is more cool things to like the pyramids. The political part of ancient Egypt was very important because with out it would be chaotic there wouldn't be money,rules or a government. Luckily there is many laws, 8 books of laws were produced and followed. The Pharaohs of ancient Egypt had to be very mean to keep every thing in order. With these strict Pharaohs everything was kept in place.The government in Egypt was a theocracy. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ffff; font-family: Corsiva; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The political aspect of ancient Egypt was very good and nothing went horrible wrong. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Corsiva; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Egyptians were big on trading they trade all the time, they traded with Mesopotamia. They started to trade during the fourth century b.c. and traded to all country's around the Mediterranean ,Aegean and red sea. They traded gold and other minerals, wheat, barley, and papyrus sheets.Egyptian trading was everything back then they got many items and they use trading for buying things. they also had a money system but nothing like today. there system of money was the deben, the deben was a .5 ounce cooper piece. When you buy in ancient Egypt you bargain for everything. Making money and things to trade there were jobs like today. The Pharaoh controlled everything.The most common job in ancient Egypt was farming it seemed like everyone farmed. With all the farming there was a surplus of crops. The crops were then sold/traded to make money or get new things.the biggest thing egypt invented was the wheel without the wheel there would not be cars. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #9900ff; font-family: Corsiva; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The social part of ancient Egypt is very important too. Egyptian civilization had many cultural qualities that effected there everyday life style.There homes:barley furniture,clay floors and hand woven straw mats. They would also make wooden stools and bed with string blankets to stay warm.The clothes the ancient Egyptians used were mostly just plain white clothe wrapped around them. The education in ancient Egypt was just the basic stuff for only kids 4-14 years old. the writing they were taught was hieroglyphics which were symbol that represented actions, words and phrases.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; font-family: Corsiva; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Another great thing that happened in Egypt was women’s rights. Women developed their rights to own property, buy and sell goods in Ancient Egypt. Through cultural diffusion, women’s rights spread throughout the world and came to America, and American women developed the right to vote. Since we have Egyptians to thank for the rights of women, the Egyptian civilization should be on display in the historical museum. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Corsiva; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Corsiva; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In our opinion, the Egyptian civilization should be display in the historical museum because Egypt it is an important part of America. This is because the Egyptians created many useful things that we use today through cultural diffusion. like making the wheel.The wheel was invented by Egyptians, and is a very important item in America, and without it, our country would be very different. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Corsiva; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">With out the wheel we wouldn’t be able to move around the world or state or even to another city!without the wheel a lot of us wouldn’t be here .We probably wouldn’t have a lot of what we have today like cars, bikes, motorcycles, and a lot more. And that’s all thanks to Egypt that we have the wheel. Egypt also made the calender well i couldn’t imagine what it would be like with out a calender we could count how many days until summer, winter, fall, and spring that means that we couldn’t know when to get winter clothes like big fluffy jackets. Or we couldn’t tell we Christmas is coming, Halloween, Summer break and any holidays even a new year!We couldn’t tell the months like October or May. Egypt has done a lot for us and i think its the least we can do is put up all about the in this museum. And one last thing is that we truly believe that if you put Egypt on display it will inspire them to learn more about other displays which will get more people to come to the museum.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff00ff; font-family: Corsiva; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This is the political, economic,geographic, and social parts of the amazing ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt should be presented in the museums grand re-opening.Egypt is and always will be the best civilization.
