Reading & Notes

Mr. Schick wasn't in class today so we had a sub. We went to a different classroom. We read about Egypt and the Pharaohs and took notes on the nine pages in that section. Today's class we short because of it being grandparents day. Luckily, I got my reading with notes done in class so I don't have to do it for homework. Some of the notes I have include the Egyptian civilization was more stable than Mesopotamia. Egypt was divided into two sections, the Upper and Lower. The Upper part was narrow, fertile, 500 miles in length, and 12 miles, at most, wide. The Lower part was a fan shaped pattern of waterways/deltas formed by the Nile. The Pharaoh was a man given power by the Gods, used maats vs the forces of chaos and confusion, had many wives, once believed to be immortal, and were buried in pyramids with personal belongings to take to the after life. Hatshepsut was one of the most successful female Pharaohs.
