Egypt! /_\ (pyramid)

Today in class two people had to take the pop quiz they took. I got an 80% on the quiz. The class average was by far the lowest out of all three sections. Our class average was I believe a 52%. Only one person in our entire class got a 100% which happened to be Kelley. The notes we took in class included the geography of Egypt, the pyramids, and part of the daily life. The geography of Egypt was centered around the Nile. It was used for drinking, cleaning, transportation, and irrigation  Every July the river would flood. When the water receded in October, it would leave behind great soil for fertile lands. A delta is a broad, marshy triangular land of fertile silt. Because of the Nile being so close, the Egyptians learned technological breakthroughs to help with irrigation and transportation. The Great Sphinx of Giza was built between 2555-2532 BC and is the oldest monumental statue in the world. It is a recumbent lion with a human head. At the head of society was pharaohs, then government officials, next was soldiers  followed by scribes, next came merchants, then artisans, after that was farmers, and at the lowest of society was servers/slaves.
