The pharaonic period spans over 3,000 years, beginning when kings first ruled Egypt. The first dynasty started in 3000 B.C. with the reign of King Narmer. Throughout the centuries, the power of the pharaohs increased and decreased numerous times before Egypt came under Roman rule in the Graeco-Roman Period (332 B.C. - A.D. 395). The pharaonic period ended with the death of the last Cleopatra during the thirty-second dynasty. ]]> 2019-01-14 13:54:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_sokoloff/oqhv9i9h8dbn/wish/320280799 tyler_sokoloff https://padlet.com/tyler_sokoloff/oqhv9i9h8dbn/wish/320281033 Settlers brought barley and cattle.]]> 2019-01-14 13:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_sokoloff/oqhv9i9h8dbn/wish/320281033 Social Classes keira_anderson1 https://padlet.com/tyler_sokoloff/oqhv9i9h8dbn/wish/320738105 2019-01-15 13:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_sokoloff/oqhv9i9h8dbn/wish/320738105 Upper classes shria_vinod https://padlet.com/tyler_sokoloff/oqhv9i9h8dbn/wish/320739507 Upper classes were made up of pharaoh, upper class Nobles and Priests, priestesses, scribes and government officials.]]> 2019-01-15 13:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_sokoloff/oqhv9i9h8dbn/wish/320739507 Lower Classes keira_anderson1 https://padlet.com/tyler_sokoloff/oqhv9i9h8dbn/wish/320739553 Lower classes consisted of farmers, and skilled laborers, serfs who served the owner of the land they farmed, and slaves. these last 2 groups, probably made up 80 percent of the population. ]]> 2019-01-15 13:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_sokoloff/oqhv9i9h8dbn/wish/320739553 keira_anderson1 https://padlet.com/tyler_sokoloff/oqhv9i9h8dbn/wish/320741521 As Egypt started to conquer land, the prisoners of war became slaves.

The ancient Egyptians built their pyramids, tombs, temples and palaces out of stone, the most durable of all building materials. Although earthquakes, wars and the forces of nature have taken their toll, the remains of Egypt's monumental architectural achievements are visible across the land, a tribute to the greatness of this civilization. These building projects took a high degree of architectural and engineering skill, and the organization of a large workforce consisting of highly trained craftsmen and laborers. 
Apart from the pyramids, Egyptian buildings were decorated with paintings, carved stone images, hieroglyphics and three-dimensional statues. The art tells the story of the pharaohs, the gods, the common people and the natural world of plants, birds and animals. The beauty and grandeur of these sites are beyond compare. How the ancient Egyptians were able to construct these massive structures using primitive tools is still a mystery.
