Egyptian Civilization

      The Egyptian civilization relied on the Nile river for their survival. Every year, it flooded and created, "The Blackland," which referred to the fertile soil it created for them to use. Along with the river, there were pyramids that were build around 2700 BC and on, not only to store their personal items, but to put the corpses of their ancestors where they would go to enter the after life. This was part of the egyptian religion. They used a writing type, called Hieroglyphics, which they used to draw on temple walls and in tombs. It was hard to learn. Therefore, a new style eventually came out. Hieratic script was a simpler version that they used, mostly for business uses such as transactions and record keeping. The Egyptian civilization had numerous amounts of religious views and civilization guidelines.
