Whether you know a lot about Egypt or very little, they provide our society today with fascinating clues to the past. Very advanced in agriculture and having further knowledge of the Nile River, the Ancient Egyptians thought they would be invincible forever.

The Civilization of Egypt was both far reaching and thriving. Geographically speaking, the civilization was broken into two major territories; Upper Egypt, which consisted of the nile itself; and Lower Egypt, which consisted of the territory known to us today as the Nile River Delta. Even in a desert environment, Egypt was known for its thriving agriculture industry thanks to fertile silt, the yearly flooding of the Nile, and their technological and industrial advancements in irrigation and…

In ancient Egyptian times, the Nile River served as a great “gift” for the Egyptians in many ways. This includes the natural barriers, water supply, and farming. Because of these things, Egyptians found it nice to live there. This is when the Nile Valley was created. In Egypt, the Nile River ran through a green valley with deserts on both sides.

For any evidence of a civilization ever existing there has to be some form of art or architecture left behind. Clues of a long forgotten government, economy, and social class for scientists to find. Remains of their math and science, religion and literature works left to vanish into thin air. The remnants of Mesopotamia reveal to us that their intellectual achievements were far greater than those of Egypt, in terms of their architecture, economy and government, knowledge in math and science,…

Today I will be talking about the biome I have chosen for my report. I chose the driest landform you would ever hear about, the Desert. There are so many interesting facts about the Desert that I bet you haven’t even heard of. Did you know that Death Valley has a large mass of water underneath it that includes one of the most rarest fish ever. That fish is called the Blue Pufferfish. Some of the desert’s i'm going to be babbling about is the Great Victoria Desert. This desert is located in…
