d. Explain

For today’s lesson, we will be discussing

about Egyptian Civilization.

The Egyptian civilization developed in North

East Africa along the Mediterranean and Red
Sea. The Egyptian Civilization developed
along the Nile River Valley. The Nile River
floods annually soaking the soil and

Does anyone know what an Egyptian king is Pharaohs.

called? Yes, Daemon?

Very Good. Egyptian kings were called

pharaohs. They were not elected; they
inherited the kingdom from their ancestors.
All the pharaohs of the same family formed a
dynasty. There were more than 25 dynasties
in the history of Ancient Egypt.

The PHARAOH was at the top of the social

hierarchy. Next to him, the most powerful
officers were the VIZIERS, the executive
heads of the bureaucracy. Under them were
the HIGH PRIESTS, followed by ROYAL
OVERSEERS (administrators) who ensured
that the 42 DISTRICT GOVERNORS carried
out the pharaoh's orders. At the bottom of the
hierarchy were the SCRIBES, ARTISANS,
FARMERS, LABORERS and SLAVES. All
children, regardless of social class, received
some education. Followed a moral and
ethical guide “Instructions in Wisdom “Goal
for education was to ensure youth exhibited
self-control and good manners. At 14, young
boys followed fathers in jobs, and girls
learned from mothers in the household.
Agriculture made up most of Egypt’s wealth.
This is where they get the food they eat for
surviving Egyptians are religious people. All
in all, they have 2000 gods and goddesses.

During their time the Egyptians made

inventions. First was the use of calendar to
help them keep track of the time between
floods to plan their planting season. Second,
they calculated the number of days as 365
days and they divided the year into 12
months and each month of 30 days. And
Egyptians were the first to use tone columns
in their homes, palaces, and temples.
However, about 2180 B.C. Egypt fell to the
invaders.
e. Elaborate
