THE ROLE OF RIVER-THE
ACIENT EGYPTIANS.
Opening
• This book is talking about ancient Egypt. The
first thing we should know about Egypt is not
their god, pharaoh, food, agriculture. Is their
river-The Nile. The Nile is the main river of Egypt
ad is the longest river in the world. The river is
very important for them because it help them to
survive and help them to grow their agriculture. It
means if there is no the Nile then there will don’t
have the Egypt.
THE NILE
• The Nile is the longest river in the world. And it is the
source of Egypt. But there is a Geographer in Brazil said
that the Amazon River is longer than the the Nile river.
But most of the Geographer did not agree with that.The
Nile is 6650 KM long. Although the Nile in the old time is
900 mile longer, but it is covered by a Volcanic eruptions.
• The relationship between the Nile and Egypt.
• The Nile is the main water source of the Egypt. The
Egyptians will use the water to grow their agriculture and
help them to survive. So the Nile is very important for the
Egypt and the Egyptians.

the Egypt. When the pharaoh is old or
dead. The son of the pharaoh will be the
next pharaoh and lead the Egyptians. All
of the power for other officer in the
Imperial family is from the pharaoh. It
means the pharaoh can almost control all
the things in Egypt.

old time. There is 80 Pyramid in Egypt it is the Cemetery

body for a thousand years. The way to doing it is first
take out all of the organ out, then use some special liquid
to soak those organ. Then put some salt and spices on

Gods, religion: There is a lot of gods in their religion. You maybe very
confuse because there is only one god in most of the religion. But the
Egyptians have a lot of god is because their river system(The Nile). First we
need to know about they thought the pharaoh is the only human being who
can talk to the gods. The pharaoh will pray for the flood of the Nile. If the
Nile not flood many Egyptians and animals (there is a lot of god look like
animals in the Egypt religion) will die then the jackal(Jackal represent the
god who control deaf) will come and eat their meat. So the jackal is the god
who control deaf. They also believe in the under world. When the pharaoh is
dead they will turn the pharaoh in to a mummy. They will take out all of the
organ out except the heart. The organ will be but it in to three little jar. They
believe that it can protect the pharaoh to the under world. There is the place
that all of the gods live. The Anubis will use a Balance to measure the
pharaoh s heart with a feather from the truth of god. If the heart is feather
then the heart the pharaoh can have eternal life and the Egyptians will get
happiness.
