today in class we went over ancient egypt. Were learning about the pyramids, the Nile, hieroglyphics, and transportation. They would know that the nile would flood and leave rich silt. It is good for growing crops. The nile was one of the ways the Egyptians survived. It is the longest river in the world.The sphinx guarded the pyramids. It had the body of a lion with the head of a king. But the nose fell of years later. We have a test next week on ancient Egypt and the recent revolt on the president Mubarak. We talked to your Egyptian friend Sarah.
