Ancient Egypt

Ancient Egypt is located in North-eastern Africa by the river Nile. Ancient Egyptians invented things that we are using today, like keys and locks. The climate in Ancient Egypt is very dry and hot. The land in Egypt is 90 percent desert. The Ancient Egyptians also traded their cultures like Ancient Greece and Rome.

The Nile River

The Nile river is a river that flows in the middle of Ancient Egypt. The Nile river is so important Ancient Egyptians because the main part of Egypt is desert and the only the only water place is the Nile River. Most people line next to the Nile River. The Nile river is named after a Greek word named Nelios. The length of the Nile river is 6695 km.

Pyramids

Humans have been building pyramid structures for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptian pyramids are most well known in Ancient Egypt. Over 130 pyramids have been discovered in Ancient Egypt. The pyramid of Giza is the most largest and oldest pyramid in the Giza Necropolis. Nearly all the pyramids of Egypt are located in the west part of the Nile River.

Thoth

Thoth is an Ancient Egyptian Myth. Shu, Ra, Newt, Geb, Thoth, Osiris and Isis are the characters played in this story. When Newt fell in love with Geb, Shu was jealous. He tried to keep them far apart so he turned Newt into the sky and turned Geb into earth. He also cursed Newt with barrenness. There were no days of the year for her to give birth. Until Thoth the god of the moon, time and measurement took pity on Newt and Geb. He challenged the reigning gods to a game of dice. He won and he wanted a prize of 5 days so he could give it to the goddess of the sky Newt. The five were not apart of any month of the year the cursed was not under Shu. Thus was able to use them to produce children. My learning of this story is that Thoth is an Ancient Egyptian Myth.
