• The awesome thing about the Egyptians is that their civilization lasted over 3000 years (that is a really long……time)

• The Egyptians civilizations lasted so long that their monuments were ancient even in Greek and Roman time (wow! Now that’s awesome!)

• the most awesome sight that you can see in Egypt is the pyramids but you can’t see the people who built them.

• before Egypt was a country, small villages grew on the banks of the river Nile .Each village had a chief and the most powerful chiefs took over other villages from neighbouring chiefs. They became kings of small kingdoms by the Nile. Again, the most powerful would conquer neighbors' and became even more powerful. In the end there were just two awesome chiefs–the king of upper Egypt with his white crown and the king of lower Egypt with his red crown.

• Villages with chiefs changed into countries with kings in a matter of 200 years.

• How did this change happened so quickly while other countries needed a longer period of time? Some historians think the new leaders were an awesomely clever group of people from outside Egypt–conquerors in fact.

• Their skeletons and their graves have been found but their flying saucer has not. Still, no one is certain……so make up your own mind. In any case, wherever they came from, it was their even more awesome descendants who built the pyramids.

(If you are a bit lazy, don’t worry. the priests would sometimes do it for you!)

sun to rise is super COOL!
