Ancient Egypt Civilization | Julia's YIS school blog

Humanities, made obvious by the name, is the study of the humans. From how humans were formed from apes, to how humans organize themselves as a society. It is a curriculum formed with many subjects. Geography, economics, anthropology, archeology, politics, sociology, history and psychology are the fields studied in class. ?I?ve studied in depth about the rise and government of the ancient Egypt civilization. It is important to study this in humanities because, as my dad had explained to me in one proverb, history repeats itself. I chose to research about ancient Egypt because I have recently read a book based on ancient Egypt called ?The Red Pyramid? by Rick Riordan. While reading, I became very confused about this topic, but also very interested.

The civilization in ancient Egypt was possible because of the Nile river and the fertile land ?brought by it. The whole civilization, from 3000 BC to 30 BC, lived basing on agriculture in the middle of the Sahara desert. The Nile river flooded the earth, and after the water retreated, the soil left would be full of nutrients and suitable for agriculture. With great land for farming, people moved there, settled down and Ancient Egypt became one of the first civilizations to start farming. By 3000 BC, farmers were not only capable of planting seed, but were also able to use animals, technology and irrigation ditches to overcome agricultural problems. Likewise to many civilizations, ancient Egypt rose because of good geographic features.

The Egyptian government was one of the first monarchy. This is a type of government in which there is a supreme ruler that owns and rules everything. In ancient Egypt, that supreme ruler was called the Pharaoh, believed to be a living god whose job was to to bring peace to the society. Ancient Egypt was divided into states, and the Pharaoh assigned representatives (often rich citizens) to run the estates. Those representatives had control over their states, but they still had to do what the Pharaoh commanded and send to the Pharaoh crops grown in their states. Ancient Egypt also had a stable government because of their writing, hieroglyphs, so they were able to write laws.

Ancient Egypt was one of the first civilization and they still impact on our modern society in many ways. Many countries are still a monarchy and agricultural skills from ancient Egypt are still used or have been further improved. Had ancient Egypt not existed, humans would not have a base to evolute to our modern world. Many other civilizations were created in the same way as Egypt, so it is important to know how it all first began.
