ReplyDeleteAncient Egypt is located in Africa in more than one country. It is near the Mediterranean sea. Regions are subjected to it. In Ancient Egypt there is a long river that gets watered every year by rain. This river is called the Nile river. The Mediterranean sea is also on the cost line of the Nile river. Ancient Egypt spreads across the region.Ancient Egypt is a large part of Africa! 2: Two reasons people settled in Ancient Egypt is for the Nile river and for there vegetables and crops. The Egyptions settled there for there vegetables because every once in a while it would rain alot and strong rain would come down fast and hard and the rain would grow ther crops, vegetables, and soften up there soil. The next day people would pick the crops and vegetables that grew and they would put more seeds in the soil and the next time it would rain it would grow the reast of the crops and vegetables. People go or settle there near the Nile river beacause when there moving or going someplace else like hunting they could always drink from the Nile river water because it would always refill when it rained....
1:Acient Egypt is located in Africa.Acient Egypt is a very big country.Ancient Egypt has a upper and lower Egypt.Egypt was split into two peices.It is near the Meridianean sea.2:People settle there because of the water.They probably need water for there country or state.Some people's land maybe dry.Some people might not have any water on their land Most people don't have sea's so they travel for water.

ReplyDelete... The Nile river would help them through there trading and traveling. Later on in the years the Nile river will be seperated into two parts because it is so large. People also use that path because more than 1,000 people use the Nile river to sail back and forth on there boats. The Nile river has been the bread basket of Egypt, which means they supply more food than other countries.The scale of the Nile river is 1:75,000,000. It does not ever stop flowing. The Nile river is a really long and beautiful river. 3: What does it feel like to worship all those God's and if we were just starting to worshiped all God's would it be a struggle for us? I wanted to know this because to me it sounds confusing worshiping all thse God's and you have to remember all there names because you worship them. I also think learning all those Egption words is confusing because you have to learn how to say and write them. Living in Ancient times to the Egyptions must of been fun to them and easy. Ancient Egpyt is history for me and you. How can you relate to the Ancient Egyptions?
3:what else does ancient egypt have?why does people live there? do people just love there for the water?how many sea's are in ancient egypt?is it nice in ancient egypt? detective#10
ReplyDeleteDetective 7,
ReplyDeleteThere were many reasons why people settled there. Reasons why people settled there was because they have rich soil. Also because they controled the Nile River so they had plenty of water. Another thing is they had food to eat. They had shelter that people could rest in. They also had alot of room were kids could run around and play outside.
Detective 7,

ReplyDeleteDetective #11 The reason why peolpe settle next to the Delta is because it helps the crops grow. Also because it has alot of water. The reason why crops and water is important to people because it is there way of survial. They also use the Delta to transport goods. In the next 40 years the sea level will rise.

ReplyDeletedetective14 I wonder how all the peaple disapeared.Why do the water rise every 40 years.
ReplyDelete2:The reson why people choose to live there because they belive that there ae morn than one god. They belife that there where god of sun god of rine god of the 4 seaon. The reson why people choose to live there so thay can grow plants ang crops.Once a year water over flows. Then the water goes in to dirt and it turns out to mud. Then thay start to plant.
