Introduction
Let’s take a vacation to Egypt! My dream has always been to travel the world, and now that dream will be fulfilled, I am going to Egypt! According to the Nations Encyclopedia, Egypts climate is a subtropical climate, and during the day, it can get very hot, but once the sun goes down, temperatures drop rapidly. I will definitely make sure to pack for both kinds of weather. Egypt consists mainly of deserts, which contribute to the high temperatures.

There are many vaccines, electrical adapters, language books, and basic essentials I will need to bring with me. Some of the major things are:
(1) Electrical adapters to the Egypt electrical outlets; (2) Required vaccines as in typhoid, cholera, and yellow fever; (3) Clothes for the warm days, and cold nights of Egypt; and books to help me understand the different languages spoken in Egypt (4). A round trip flight to Cairo Egypt
The time zone change will be hard to get over, as it changes almost 5 hours. We will also need to bring books, a book I had in mind was “Then Encyclopedia Of Ancient Egypt” by Helen Strudwick.

    Although there are many differences between Ancient Egypt and modern times, Ancient Egypt has made an impact on today’s world because of their art, architecture, and food. First of all, their art influences how we live today and how art affects us today. Their art influences us today because we make statues or sculptures of people who have passed away that we want to honor because of their importance. Ancient Egyptian art also influences us because we sometimes use art, such as statues or paintings, for religious purposes. For example, Christians may have paintings or sculptures of a cross, for that represents the Christian religion.…

    Dr. Scott Trafton is a professor that received many awards for his book, Egypt land, that goes in to depth about the early Egyptians and their culture and how it played a role in American culture. Dr Trafton states (4), “ Thus, one of the primary arguments of this book is that much of the nineteenth-century American racial and national identity can be said to partake of a schematic split structured by the conflictual visions of ancient Egypt.” He goes on to explain why Egypt was used a comparison for the modern injustices by Americans and often referred to America as “Egypt of the West”. Dr. Martin Bernal was also a professor and author that became notorious for his works about ancient Egypt. He wrote the famous, Black Athena, which had multiple volumes.…

    Life in Egypt Today, Egypt’s high environmental, temperature, and migration levels are still the same as it was back in 1967 and even later than that. However, there are many other things that make this country what it is today. "For example, the expanded irrigation of desert areas after the completion of the Aswan High dam in 1970s; which has increased soil salinity and aided the spread of waterborne diseases”(Malefic, Asante; 2002 “Culture and Customs of Egypt. Westport, Conn: Greenwood Press”). But, what about the evolutionary lines for both the governmental and religious cultural history of this country; do they play a big role in this country?…
