Life in Ancient Egypt focused around the Nile River, which runs from south to north and finally flows into the Mediterranean Sea. A prosperous life continued in this region for centuries due to yearly floods that deposited rich silt on the valley floor, fertilizing the fields of the farmers.
Gradually these small communities came together to form larger cities and the foundation for a new complex and efficient society. They developed bricks made of stone, the knowledge to navigate on water, the invention of the wheel for land travel, the harnessing of animals for heavy work and the training of donkeys to carry man.
Egypt has one of the best preserved histories due to its’ dry climate, and the preservation of ‘after-life’ artifacts found in sealed burial chambers.
