The ancient Egyptians were wonderful traders. They traded gold, papyrus, linen, and grain for cedar wood, ebony, copper, iron, ivory, and lapis lazuli. Ships sailed up and down the Nile River, bringing goods to various ports, such as Rome and Greece. Once goods were unloaded, goods were hauled to various merchants by camel, cart, and on foot.  Egyptians traders met traders from other civilizations just beyond the mouth of the Nile, to trade for goods brought to them, but they did not often travel themselves much beyond the Nile River.

Ancient Egypt was a complex society needing people doing many different tasks and jobs. Some of the jobs they had included:

Farmers - most of the people were farmers. They grew barley to make bear, wheat for bread, vegetables such as onions and cucumbers, and flax to make into linen. They grew their crops near the banks of the Nile River where the rich black soil was good for crops.

Craftspeople - There were a wide variety of craftsmen jobs. They included carpenters, weavers, jewelers, leather workers, and potters. How skilled a craftsman was would determine his success.

Soldiers - Becoming a soldier was an opportunity for a person to rise in society. Most of the soldiers were footmen. There was a well defined hierarchy in the Egyptian army. In peacetime, soldiers would help with government projects such as moving stone for a pyramid or digging a canal.

Scribes - Scribes were important people in Ancient Egypt as they were the only people who knew how to read and write. Scribes came from wealthy families and took years of training to learn the complex Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Priests and Priestesses - Priests and Priestesses were responsible for the temples and held religious ceremonies.

The government of ancient Egypt was a theocratic monarchy as the king ruled by a mandate from the gods, initially was seen as an intermediary between human beings and the divine, and was supposed to represent the gods' will through the laws passed and policies approved. The ancient Egyptians didn’t have an army and they didn’t really want to fight because they had all they needed in Egypt. But they had to go to war anyways. They fought against the Hyksos.They had enough protection because of the desserts and no one wanted to mess with them. They had one flaw about how the Pharaohs ruled, the pharoahs ruled over everything and if they made a mistake the whole country would fall because of their decision and because no one told them no. But in America’s system we have a senate a president and lots of other people to decide decisions.

The Egyptians were very brilliant and smart. They made the great pyramids of Giza. These pyramids are still a mystery to the whole world. It has tiny hidden rooms that are smaller than your hand. Their are buried treasures and Pharaohs buried deep into these enormous pyramids.
They also created the great Sphinx who is missing his nose. They also created and used irrigation for making crops and watering them. They also created amazing medicine to help the sick and wounded. They made a brilliant kind of writing called hieroglyphics which was a form of writing in picture form.
They also came up with amazing ways to to build everything they built. Like when they built the pyramids they had to think about everything that they had to do, like how to build the base and how long to make it. The Egyptians are a very smart and unique civilization

The Egyptians made very diverse religions. They believed in lots of gods like Osiris who is the Egyptian god of the underworld. They believed that he would lead Them into the afterlife. They had to pass through 32 judgement gods who would judge if you had a perfect life. If you had made a person cry, you wouldn’t be able to cross. But, the Egyptians had a necklace that would help them get through the judgement god. After that you have to face monsters and get through them. After that you have to weigh your heart to see if you were a good person. If you weren’t they would devour your soul. If you were you would get to basically start a new life with all of the deceased people in your lives.       They also had lots of festivals for their gods and would have one for almost all of the gods.  The Pharaohs came up with this whole entire religion. They told the whole civilization and if the Pharaohs say something, it has to be true.

There is lots of geography in ancient Egypt. They have the Nile which is the egptians main water source. It is also a food supply of lots of fish. It is basically the highway of Egypt. It is a way to travel to different parts of Egypt and other country’s.
They also have lots of desserts around them which is natural protection to the country. If you were trying to conquer Egypt you would not want to take your army into lots of vast desserts in which your army would die.
