West Civ. Cyber Day 1:
Essay 1.)
The Social Hierarchy in Ancient Egypt was not very different from other early civilizations. It went (from top to bottom) Pharaoh, priests and nobles, traders artisans and scribes, farmers and herders, and unskilled workers. This shows that religion is at the top, which is similar to many places in the early world. The pharaohs wore stained white clothes, as well as the rich, nobles, and scribes. This showed their ranking.
Essay 2.)
The Nile river was very important to early Egypt. The Nile was basically a source of life for them. This river provided food, fertilization to grow crops, water, bathing, and much more. Almost all of life's essentials were along or in the Nile. The Nile was also a way of transportation. With this transportation, you could buy and sell goods, or maybe just a way to get from place to place.
Good job, John, although if you had written three paragraphs per essay, as instructed, I could have given you a higher score.
