Egyptian Discoveries


            In Western Civilization class on Thursday we wrote down notes on the slideshow we watched about Egypt and how it was one of the most important parts of life between the early humans and now. Egypt brought several things into play, including a social class and great new architecture. Some of this architecture included things like the Sphinx and the pyramids. It’s hard to believe that these massive structures could be created by such primitive people and some of these things like the building of the pyramids still confuse us today. The fact of how they were built not by slaves, but by workers stuns me and also how the pyramids were literally designed, placed, and made perfectly. The Egyptians also brought religion into play. They believed that there was a god for everything including: war, children, the sun, the moon, and the after-life. How did they get to discover so much and create so much though?
