EGYPT
My reflection is about Ancient Egypt. I love history of Egypt. It is big part of the Sahara Desert, which runs all across the top of Africa. It is a fascinating country. I love searching about Egypt. Nile River, pyramids, labyrinth and mummies are interesting. Egypt is as if a different world. Their clothes, hairs and eye make-ups are different. Both men and women in Egypt wore tunics. These tunics were like a long T-shirt which reached to the knees (for men) or to the ankles (for women). In social life, as in other parts of Africa, some people in Ancient Egypt were slaves. Most slaves in Egypt worked in the fields, like everyone else. But many were house cleaners, wet nurses, cooks, or skilled dancers and musicians. Egypt is in Sahara Desert. The reason people did live in Egypt was that the Nile River runs through the middle of Egypt. The Nile is a big river. It starts in the rain forest south of Ethiopia, south of Egypt, and it flows north into the Mediterranean Sea. Water from the Nile makes it possible to grow crops in Egypt. About 95 % of Egypt's population still live in the Nile valley (the area next to the river). All of Egypt depended on the Nile for water, food and transportation. In Ancient Egypt, religious beliefs had an important role in social life. It was believed that when you died, your soul went on a journey into the underworld. People of Ancient Egypt believed that they had to preserve their bodies so they could use them in the afterlife. For this reason, a method of artificial preservation, called mummification was developed by the ancient Egyptians. People who could afford mummification were the mummies. To sum up, I love Ancient Egypt very much. I want to visit Egypt and learn about their cultures. I hope one day my dreams come true.
