Ancient+Egypt+Group+5

Ancient Egypt It wasn’t easy living back in ancient times. It was especially not like today. You wouldn’t have very advanced machines to help you do work, no TV to entertain you, and no car to travel around in. You would have to find something else to entertain yourself, you would probably walk or take a ferry to get places, you would probably not have an education. []

For almost 30 centuries—from its unification around 3100 B.C. to its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.—ancient Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world. From the great pyramids of the Old Kingdom through the military conquests of the New Kingdom, Egypt's majesty has long entranced archaeologists and historians and created a vibrant field of study all its own: Egyptology. The main sources of information about ancient Egypt are the many monuments, objects and artifacts that have been recovered from archaeological sites, covered with hieroglyphs that have only recently been deciphered. The picture that emerges is of a culture with few equals in the beauty of its art, the accomplishment of its architecture or the richness of its religious traditions. []
