Geography
The Nile River is one of the most precious belongs to the egyptians. it gave them a chance to grow crops for farmers, shower, and transport food to different countries. The Nile River has a delta to where it all breaks up to different streams but ends up at the sea. Afer the flooding of the nile Pharaoh's thought it would be a great idea to build Pyramids for their burial, the first ever to build it properly was King Snefru. The egyptians created a writing language where they would draw shapes or animals to represent a letter. There was a stone named the Rosetta stone which had three languages carved on it, the language that a man could translate the heiroglyphics into simple letters was ancient greek. surrounding them was a huge desert which went miles away. The weather there was hotter in the morning but cool at night.
Daily Life of Egyptians
DAILY LIFE
Soldier: The daily life of a soilder is cruel but nice at the same time, the cruel parts are that they have to wear the same armor everyday, get yelled at everyday, the worst of all is that when they go to war they have a high risk of death. The good parts are that if you were a high ranking soldier you wold be able to yell at people on the street and the lower ranking soldiers. :) The meals the soldiers get arent healthy, each day they get a peice of bread and a glass of water and such gaurds stay up for hours to keep the city away from Lybians and Nubians. Their tools of trade are of course the weapons, unlike the romans they only had a sword or spear.
nobleman: The Nobleman has a great life besides picking the Pharaoh's food everyday, it is a great person to be. you get to have your own town house, spend your free time laying in the room or "playing dance dance revolution" with the pharoah. The clothes you get are pretty decent, at least its better than the lower class people like farmers, soldiers, and women. Their responsibilty is rather enjoying, you get to go around with a sword or spear and some guards and kill people or hunt for food.
