Environment
Egypt is located in the Mediterranean sea in the north part of Africa.
Egypt is very dry and hot.
Their homes were made of mud bricks that were left to dry in the sun.
Many Egyptians had nice homes but the wealthier families had their houses painted white. (made them cooler in the hot sun)

Government In ancient Egypt the most
important person was the Pharaoh, he owned everything (home, food…).
The Pharaoh had police, and army and others to help him run the country.
The Egyptians also had a court and a judge that was called a “Vizier” to keep things fair and hear all the issues that were going on.

Technology- One of the most important inventions of the Ancient Egyptians was writing. They wrote in hieroglyphics (picture alphabet)
- The Egyptians learned how to make durable sheets of paper called papyrus. It was used for important documents and religious books.

Education
The Egyptians often would tutor their own children
Boys were tutored by their family. If their family was a farmer or craftsmen they would learn those skills instead of math, writing or grammar.
Girls learned how to manage a household while also learning how to sing, dance and plan an instrument.

Special Celebrations
The Egyptians had many celebrations to honor the gods and days of the year.
Their most famous Egyptian celebration that is still celebrated today is New years day. The first celebration of the year was, of course, the New Year's festival. For the ancient Egyptians, this was a time to start over for a new year.
