- Egyptians were among the first to have elaborated on the idea of an afterlife.
- Their religion was connected to their government in many ways.
- There were hundreds of gods in Egpyt's religious system.
Egyptian Physical Geography
- One of the greatest advantages of Egypt's geography is its protection.
- The vast Sahara desert and the surrounding ocean protects Egpyt from war and disease.
- The Nile River was the center of civilization in Egpyt.
- Every year, the Nile would flood, taking away waste and leaving fresh soil.
- This was a great advantage to the Egyptians in terms of agriculture.
Egyptian Government
The King or Pharoah was the ultimate ruler.
The Pharoah, as mentioned above, was considered to be part god, part human.
The Pharoah directed all of the activities, including the building of the pyramids of Egypt.
The Egyptians were the first to devise a taxation system, most likely because of the wealth wanted by the Pharoah.
The Pharoah, when dead, was given a large tomb full of ancient treasures.
