Five thousand years ago, ancient Egypt was a growing civilization when Upper and Lower Egypt joined forces. It was a society that “flourished along the Nile River in northeastern Africa for thousands of years.” It was far from an uncivilized society, but rather a talented one with many skilled peoples. There were farmers, builders, artists, musicians, and writers. The climate was a desert one and as a result Egyptians “settled along the Nile.” There they could raise crops and catch fish in the river itself. The desert, however, isolated Egypt from other civilizations and they had to make a go of it on their own. Their culture flourished and grew as a result.Egypt had a class system with and “slaves lived the harshest lives.” It could be a miserable existence and “their owners could beat them or even kill them.” It wasn’t hard for everyone though as some were treated as family members. They were workers right along with farmers and craftsmen. Other upperclassmen included scribes, priests and noblemen. Of course there was the pharaoh, who “was even considered a god!” The Egyptians communicated by speaking Egyptian and wrote in hieratic or by using hieroglyphics. Did you know that “this style included an alphabet of more than seven hundred different pictures?” Amazing, but true. You’ll also learn about the Egyptians’ religion, mummies, tombs, their artwork, architecture, music, and many other interesting things about the “tools and treasures” of ancient Egypt.This is a fascinating book about ancient Egypt that young students will enjoy. Newly independent and independent readers will be able to work through this beginning chapter book with a minimum of assistance.
