Today in class, on February 27, we were given a paper to fill out. At the beginning of class it was really cold and I went to go get my sweatshirt and earbuds so I could listen to music while I did my worksheet. The front of the paper was just filling out definitions. Some of the definitions that were on the paper were some of the definitions I looked up in my blog yesterday. Some definitions I did not have were cataracts, nome, dynasty, ka, and maat. The definition of cataract is many small boulders breaking the surface of a body of water, like in the Nile. Another example is a nome which means a territorial division of ancient Egypt. Then the backside was fill in the blanks but we got to skip 15-19.
Three ways the Nile influenced Egypt were
- Yearly flooding which made the soil fertile and leaving silt allowing the Egyptians to grow crops on it.
- helped to unite upper and lower Egypt because it was a source of transportation between them both.
- the Nile influenced where people lived so they could have a constant source of water
The pyramids were built because most of them were tombs for a pharaoh who had died. They believed in an afterlife and if they made a grand tomb and put riches in the tomb, the pharaoh would have a good afterlife.
