Some notes from the Prezi Presentation

Today in class, we went back to finishing our notes on Egypt. We started from the beginning by reviewing and writing down the notes that we didn't have yet. I had most of the notes because we were almost done but there were a lot for this presentation I thought because usually it really isn't that much but there was quite a bit. It wasn't that bad though but there will be some studying for the next test for sure. I have had these notes for a while now but I want to put some of them in my blog.. Here are SOME of them.

Geography
- Egyptian life is centered around the Nile River
- The Nile River flows from south to north
- They used the Nile River for water for drinking, irrigating, bathing, and transportation
- Every July the Nile floods
- Every October it leaves behind rich soil
- The delta is a broad, marshy triangular area of fertile silt
- Managing the river required technological breakthroughs in irrigation

Society Pyramid (order)
- Pharaoh
- Government officials, nobles, priests
- Soldiers
- Scribes
- Merchants
- Artisans
- Farmers
- Slaves and servants
