Egypt

Their religion was the most fascinating thing to myself. It was very complex but also

. . .

Ancient Egypt was a great and powerful country; it had a rich history and left a lot for us to look at today. They would even place their belongings with their dead body so that they would have them in their next life. One of the most fascinating parts of their religion was mummification. They would always be sacrificing to one of their gods or praying to them. With places like the Egyptian exhibit for us to go to and look at we will never forget this great civilization. Simple as in that it all had one goal, and that goal was to appease the gods so that the river Nile would flood and the crops would grow. They have definitely proven themselves as one of the more intriguing cultures in history. Egyptians had a rich culture based around one river, the river just so happed to be the largest river in the world though and certainly made them all the more interesting. Close to each pyramid were one or more secondary pyramids used for the burials of members of the royal family. Each monument originally consisted of not only the pyramid itself, which housed the body of the deceased king, but also an near by mortuary temple and a temple near the Nile. I thought that the mummification was well covered in the video that we watched. The Pharaoh would also under go the mummification process after death so that his body would be preserved for the next life. The Egyptians would worship the Pharaoh and some actually had huge pyramids as his own tomb, their reasoning was that its not a waste if its for a god.
