Geography Of Ancient EgyptGeography-Physical environment and how it may influence an economy and culture.The Nile runs through the en rety of Egypt, and it is 4160 miles long, making it the longest river inthe world. It flows north, beginning in East-central Africa, ending when it reaches the Mediterranean Sea.Rainfall gathered in the mountains south of Egypt is the source of the Nile’s water. The land in Egypt ismostly desert (in the northern Sahara), and it is not very fer le. However, when the Nile overflows eachyear, silt is deposited in the land near the river, which makes it very fer le. Around 4000 BC, the lands nearthe Nile’s banks began to become increasingly populated by farmers. Since the water levels becomeunpredictable during the flooding season, Egyp ans began to learn how to control the flooding by usingirriga on streams, dams, dikes, and by storing water in case of drought. Egyp an civiliza on and agriculturewas almost en rely dependent upon the water and silt from the Nile.1.

The Economy Of Ancient EgyptEconomy-How a civilization makes money through the buying and selling of goods and services.The economy of Egypt was largely dependent upon the surplus grains they were able to growfrom the water and silt of the Nile. With these grains, mainly wheat and barley, they traded withci!es and travelers up and down the Nile, and with traders from southwestern Asia. The Nile Riverwas used to transport goods north and south, and Egyp!an sailboats even allowed them to travelagainst the current of the river. During the Middle Kingdom (2040 BC-1786 BC), Egyp!an tradebegan to expand further into southwestern Asia, eastern Africa, and the eastern Mediterraneanregion. Egypt had grains and minerals, but they had to trade with other regions to get copper, iron,and wood, which were needed for metal work and building. Trade was o"en very dangerous, asrobbers and pirates were a regular threat.1.

Government in Ancient EgyptLeadership/ Government- How a civilization creates an organized way of leadership.Around 3100 BC, there were two separate kingdoms in Egypt, Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. Soona erwards, King Narmer (from Upper Egypt) united the two kingdoms. When the unifica on happened, itbecame the world’s first ever na on-state. King Narmer was the first king of Egypt’s first dynasty, and therewould be 30 more dynas es a!er him. The king controlled all of Egypt, but assigned governors to certainregions to help him rule. There were three era’s, the Old Kingdom (2700 BC-2200 BC), the Middle Kingdom(2100 BC-1800BC), and the New Kingdom (1500 BC-1000Bc). The Old Kingdom was a long, poli cally stable,prosperous period for ancient Egypt. Government was organized into one central leader or Pharaoh. ThePharaoh was credited with supernatural powers, his authority virtually absolute. Even a!er death thePharaoh was expected to mediate between gods and humans. For this reason, the prepara on for hisa!erlife, the building of elaborate burial sites, was vitally important. A civil war ended the Old Kingdom, butEgypt reunited to begin the Middle Kingdom, which was another prosperous me for the civilza on. Egyptconquered Nubia to the south, and built forts along the Nile and at the Delta to protect the region. TheMiddle Kingdom ended when the militarily superior Hyksos began to se"le in Northern Egypt. The Hyksostook over Lower Egypt and ruled for a century. The Egyp ans caught up to the military power of the Hyksosand reunited Upper and Lower Egypt; this began the New Kingdom. Egypt had mostly male Pharaohs, butalso some female ones, such as Hatshepsut. She was able to increase the size and power of Egypt. A!er herrule, Thutmose III expanded Egypt to its largest size. Then, Ramses the Great took power and made Egyptvery prosperous. He is noted for building extravagant temples all over the kingdom. However, around 1215BC, Egypt began its decline, and was only able to remain united un l about 1075 BC.1. Create a meline beginning in 3100 BC extending to 1215 BC.
