History of Ancient Egypt
By Alex and Skyler-Nolan

Chronology timeline
Daily life
Daily life in ancient Egypt revolved around the Nile and the
fertile land along its banks. The yearly flooding of the Nile
enriched the soil and brought good harvests and wealth to the
land.
The people of ancient Egypt built mudbrick homes in villages
and in the country. They grew some of their own food and
traded in the villages for the food and goods they could not
produce.
Most ancient Egyptians worked as field hands, farmers,
craftsmen and scribes. A small group of people were nobles.
Together, these different groups of people made up the
population of ancient Egypt.
Mummies
Mummies were made by the process of preserving the body after death. This was
done by removing water from a deceased body and using chemicals or natural
preservatives.
Great sphinx
The Sphinx is the oldest and longest stone sculpture from the Old Kingdom.
During the eighteenth dynasty, it was called "Horus of the Horizon" and
"Horus of the Necropolis", the sun god that stands above the horizon . In later
times, many sphinx images were carved in smaller sizes or in cameos with the
faces of the reigning monarchs. The face of the Great Sphinx is believed to be
that of Chephren, the fourth-dynasty pharaoh who built the second-largest
pyramid in the Giza triad. In the image of the Sphinx, the pharaoh was seen as
a powerful god.
Rosetta stone
The writing on the Stone is an official message, called a decree, about
the king (Ptolemy V, r. 204–181 BC). The decree was copied on to
large stone slabs called stelae, which were put in every temple in
Egypt. It says that the priests of a temple in Memphis (in Egypt)
supported the king. The Rosetta Stone is one of these copies, so not
particularly important in its own right.
Hieroglyphics
Hieroglyphics were the way of
keeping records and writing in
ancient egypt and is the first alphabet
ever invented.
