This week we learned about the chapter, Egypt Under the Pharaohs in the Old, Middle, and New Kingdom. I will be cornering in on the art of the Palate of King Narmer, the Fragmentary head of Senuret III, and Akhenaton, Nefertiti, and three daughters. I will also be discussing “Egypt’s Golden Empire: The Warrior Pharaohs”. In the Old Kingdom, the front and back carvings on the Palette of King Narmer were of big focus.…
The rise of the early civilization in different regions is extremely diverse. Although some regions share similarities, they share many differentiations as well. From regions such as small farming settlements to full-blown states, there are many factors that can be compared as well as very different from one another. Specifically, Mesopotamia and Egypt share many components that are similar as well as different. Factors such as the environment, subsistence, trade/exchange, technology and social organization are major aspects that can be analyzed.…
How did the Nile shape ancient Egypt? Egypt lasted for about 2,000 years. The first pharaoh to ever rule over Egypt began his rule in 2920 BCE. The people of Egypt paid their taxes in wheat, and wheat was their main export. So wheat was like their money.…
For years other nations have always used earlier or more successful nations as reference in building their empire. One notices that Egypt is a common reference. Egypt, once very prosperous, experienced many rises and falls of power. Each fall and rise was typically due to an awful king, war, or chaos: and sometimes it was a product of all three. Egypt excelled in most things to build a powerful empire; government, trading, leadership and a strong sense of religion (or belief in gods).…
Ancient Egypt Thousands of years ago, the ancient Egyptians went about their normal lives. And they, like many people today, had a religion they practiced. But how did their religion play a part in culture? Their Religion……
Ancient Egypt always fascinates me, especially learning about the Pharaohs. Akhenaten is a very famous Pharaoh, and for good reason too. His reign, death, and the discovery of his tomb are especially interesting. Akhenaten’s reign was very different from other Pharaohs.…
The River-Valley Civilization of Ancient Egypt A civilization is a complex society made up of religion, social hierarchy, government, technology, language, cities, and job specialization. Ancient Egypt is in the Northeast region of Africa. The civilization began in 3150 BCE. The Ancient Egyptians relied on the Nile River for water in their desert terrain.

For the old Kingdom Egypt collapse, scientists thought that is because climate change. The archaeologist was surprised to find a hieroglyphic account: at the end of the ancient Egypt, there had a terrible famine so many people began to eat their own children. This tragic story is also recorded by the tomb of the governor. As we all know, the survival of ancient Egypt to a large extent rely on the annual flooding of the Nile. Rainfalls cause flooding in the Nile Basin every year, giving Egypt a fertile soil.…
“The Nile crashed in the Amazon while being piloted by Mississippi” (Jarod Kintz). Geographic features were crucial for the development of modern day Egypt. Features such as the Nile and the desert provided protection, allowing Egypt to expand. Similar to this, geographic features also influenced America’s development and why America is how it is today. America would not be the same if it was not for the location and the primary resources that we were given.…
According to the UN development programme in 2002, the Middle East have witnessed high level of poverty, inequality, and gender gaps. All these factors have caused the Arab Spring. Although we have heard from the west about success stories of Egypt in terms of economic performance, according to the neo-liberal thinkers. However it has been argued that the rise of economy was due to the revolution. This statement can be questioned, as many left wings will argue that since introducing capitalism in Egypt has only bought benefits to the west, and the chaos and unstructured after the revolution cannot be ignored.…
Ancient Egypt was a civilization that while intelligent, and grand, was still to the mercy of nature. Nature effected their entire way of life. It provided them with food. It affected their systems of belief. And it affected the political system.…
In about 3000 BC the curtain rises on Egyptian civilization. In a civilized society some people did specialized jobs. One of these jobs was the doctor. The first doctor known to history was Sekhet-eanach who 'healed the pharaoh's nostrils'. (We do not know what was wrong with them).…
Rome respected Egypt’s form of government even after they took over, and even had roman governmental figures in Egypt’s. Egypt before it was took over traded heavily with the Roman Empire with things like grain. Both the Romans and Egyptians have different characteristics that made them big and made them simply a civilization. There are both similarities and differences when dealing with the…
The ancient Egyptian empire unlike the rest of the river valley civilizations managed to grow and prosper for many decades. The Egyptian empire was able to support its large population of 4 to 5 million people, though bread and beer (Dollinger). Wheat and barley was a very small aspect of the Egyptian empire however without it the great egyptian civilization we know today might not have…
