new seats!!!

I now sit in a row of boys im surrounded by them I have Brandon I think thts his name on my left and Scott sits in front of me and Devin sits behind me. Anyways today we learned:
  • The Nile and the "two lands"
    • Upper Egypt was a 500 mile long strip of fertile land along the Nile, lower Egypt was the wide land of the Nile delta, emptying into the Mediterranean sea.
    • The Nile was the major provider of life for the Egyptians and was much revealed in love and writing
    • C. 1300 B.C. the two lands were united under a single king or "pharaoh" government by a god-king
    • Pharaoh was all powerful, worship as a God and intimately connected to the other major Egyptian gods and goddesses
    • Egyptians relied on a harmony and balance of the universe, which they called "maat"
