Ancient Egypt

Ancient Egypt

The egyptians had fertile land to grow crops. They grew wheat, barley, pomegranates, and flax. But the most important crop the ancient egyptians grew was grain because they used it to make a lot of there food.

Agriculture

Today we still use agriculture to make are food and to also trade and or export food to different places. If we didn't have agriculture today we wouldn't be eating so we would probably be dead.

The ancient egyptians originally had 360 days a year but added 5 more days to bring it more in line with the solar year. The 5 days turned into a festival because the ancient egyptians thought it would be unlucky to work during that time.

365 Day Calendar

The ancient egyptians raised sheep, goats, pigs, cattle, and geese. they used these animals to get milk, wool, meat, eggs,leather, skins, and fat. They fattened up most of their animals for food. They kept their cats and dogs though for pets.

The Domestication of Animals

Because the ancient egyptians did this lots of people now get their milk, meat, and some clothing from animals. Others keep them for loving pets.

Now we still use ships but most of them don’t get attacked by any one any more. We mostly use cargo ships to transport goods around the world especially when we import and export things.

Early ancient egyptians made their boats out of papyrus plant, which was small and usually stern with paddles and poles. Later the ancient egyptians made their boats out of wood.Eventually the ancient egyptians created cargo ships that were sturdy and held a lot of heavy items mostly across the nile.When egyptians transferred items by boat they were sometimes attacked by robbers who stole some of their treasures.

Ships

If the ancient egyptians didn't come up with the 365 day calendar than we wouldn't have been able to know how long the years are and there wouldn’t be years we would be counting by days.
