Egyptian Civilization

human life in that region are from the Paleolithic Age, (Old Stone Age), about

300,000 B.C., at the very edges of the Nile Valley. Beyond, on both sides of the

river the land was and still is desert.

At that time the people moved from place to place, ate berries, roots, and

any animals they could find, but stood close to their lifeline, the Nile. The lands

along the Nile were rich enough to be farmed, so over time the people started to

grow crops. They found ways to store the yearly floodwaters and then use them

for the dry seasons. The farmers learned to lift water out of the Nile or wells and

send it across the fields through a system of canals. In order for all of this to

work out they had to work together, no one could do any of it alone. So as the

farmers and people began to cooperate, an organization began to grow. They

found leaders among them who directed the work. A form of government

developed and due to that they soon began to build cities, to manufacture

things, in time to trade with their neighbors. That is how it all started. Over a

period from 3100 B.C. to 332 B.C. they grew in culture, arts

. . .
Farming provided most of the food and helped

their population grow. The script is made of about 750 signs

which include pictures of people, animals, plants, and objects. They had a saying; “He who reaches the

other world without wrongdoing shall exist there like a god. With very bad diseases, where they didn't understand the

cause, magic spells were mixed with the potions.

The early Egyptians are to some extent the same people as the Egyptians

of today.

Men usually wore loin-cloths and short kilts.

The early Egyptian people grew food by the Nile and lived mainly by

hunting for meat, fishing, and gathering wild plants. Sometimes a statue of the god would be paraded around the

temple walls carried in a closed shrine on a golden boat. The more crimes the dead person admitted to, the heavier

the heart.

Astronomers noticed that the Nile’s rising happened at the same time the

brightest star in the sky (Sirrus, the Dog Star) rose with the sun. Today some

scholars call them “the first real doctors. The last priests

who wrote in this way died in about A. They knew how to deal with broken bones,

wounds, and fevers. Cream and flour were mixed to make a

cast for a broken limb.
