Continuing with egypt

Today in western cove we continued to learn about ancient egypt.  We started by discussing their geography because that may have been the most important part of their civilization.. they were based around the Nile River and the fertile silt that it brought down.  In ancient  Egypt the people loved at most 1 mile from the river.  This is because that is where the fertility of the soil abruptly ended, and it was desolate desert.  Egypt was split into  Two parts, the southern portion was called up peer Egypt because it was at a higher elevation than the northern part called lower Egypt.  Upper Egypt only included the land directly around the Nile, but lower Egypt included the fertile delta at the outlet of the north flowing river.  These two kingdoms were unified under one all powerful god king in 3150 bc
