Ancient Egypt Project

AgricultureThe Egyptians settled in modern-day Egypt when farming was discovered. More food was grown, which resulted in a population increase,and eventually cities being built. The amount of food increased so much that some people could have another job instead of farming. Agriculture got the Egyptians past the survival part of becoming a great civilization.

AstronomyThe Egyptians used astronomy to their advantage. They studied the movements of the sun, moon, and other planets in space to predict when floods are going to occur,and to calculate the growing seasons. Also,they created the first 365-day calendar.

AgricultureMostly everything comes from agriculture. We get food like corn, wheat, potatoes, tomatoes and more. Also, clothing comes from agriculture like cotton,wool,and fur. Just like Egypt, more people can get jobs in other fields, according to their knowledge, power, and skills.

Egypt in the Past

AstronomyJust like Egypt, we have a 365-day calendar. With a calendar it is easier to keep track of events and holidays.

Written LanguageA written language is important if communicating with letters, notes, and any other written forms of messaging is necessary. Also, in school, having a written language is important because projects, classwork, and homework are usually written.

Written LanguageThe Egyptians invented hieroglyphics [their written language]. Hieroglyphs were usually used for religious writing.

PaperPapyrus led to the invention of the paper we use today. Paper is used for many purposes and even for entertainment. For example, drawing, literature, and writing down important information.

PaperThe Egyptians invented Papyrus, the world’s first paper. It was made from the stalks of the papyrus plant. Papyrus could be held and folded into a scroll, which gave them the ability to carry it around, and easily give messages to others.
