Today in class we got assigned new seats. We also learned about Ancient Egypt and learned about pyramids and Sphinx. Some of the pyramids were built 4,500 years ago. We also talked about the geography of Ancient Egypt and the Nile River. They used the Nile for drinking water, irrigating, bathing, and transportation. Ancient Egyptians were the first people to invent the sail boat. Every July, the river floods and every October it leaves behind rich soil. We also talked about the ranking of the Egyptians. First was the Pharaoh. After that came government officials, which included the nobles and priests. Then came the soldiers, scribes, merchants, artisans, farmers, and then slaves and servants.
