Ancient Egypt test Review

                In class we reviewed for our test on ancient and present Egypt. Today we talked about the Nile River, their social hierarchy, and the great Sphinx of Giza. We discussed that the Nile was a major contributor to bathing, drinking, transportation, crops, and everything else they have ever come to know. We also talked about its reoccurrences in July and October. We learned that the Nile has major floods in July, leaving rich soil in October. After reviewing this section, we learned that the Egyptians social hierarchy included pharaoh, government official, soldiers, scribes, merchants, artisans, farmers, and slaves and servants. Finally, we talked about oldest monumental statue in the world, also known as the great Sphinx of Giza. It is described as recumbent lion with a humans head.
