parasites that would cause a lot of
damage. Worms would be digested and
travel through various internal organs
and lay eggs in their legs.

family and take care of their parents
when they get old, so women would
have many children. Even the most
successful pregnancies would be fatal.
Women would die after or during
childbirth due to the uncleanliness of it.
By the 20th century, they improved
hygiene during birth to prevent so many
deaths.

Anaemia-

Anaemia is a disease
caused by iron deficiency that only
affected children and would result in
death.

Kingdoms unite- Before

even having kingdoms, Egyptians lived
in forming villages that each had their
own rituals, gods, and chieftain. There
were two kingdoms, the upper and the
lower, based on location.Over time, the
two kingdoms united mostly because of
a king of the upper kingdom named
Narmer. I think It was beneficial for
Egypt because the became stronger as
a nation.

Pyramids-

No one knows what

ancient Egypt was like before pyramids,
overtime tombs have become more
advanced and became less about the
dead inside and more about the riches.
The tombs started to be built in the
shape of the pyramids, instead of the
long rectangles like they used to be, to
prevent grave robbers. Im not sure if

Cultural Aspects
of Ancient Egypt
Holidays/Festivals- The
lunar/ civil calendar is how the
Egyptians kept track of their festivals
and holidays, They would have big
feasts, regardless of status: rich, poor, it
didn't matter. It was the only time they
all would come together just to
celebrate. One of the festivals was the
coronation of the pharaoh and it lasted
for a year.

Geography-

The Nile is the

longest river in the world, it runs right
through Egypt. It would flood, and wash
away the crops and people would
starve. The forbidding deserts that
surrounds the Nile acted as a barrier
between Egypt and other lands and
reduced contact.
