How did Ancient Egypt influence us today?
Ancient and modern-day Egypt are slightly the same, and maybe even related. It is still a better life for the wealthy than the poor, and many Egyptians who are still alive today practice the crafts they made in ancient times, like basket weaving. Also, the Nile River is still very important to the modern Egyptians, just as it was many years ago. The flooding of the Nile was very predictable back then, so ancient Egyptians could decide when the Nile would flood and bring rich and fertile soil mixed with rocks, sometimes called silt. The Nile River still floods at about the same times, and still brings silt at the same time every year. Farming is also important to Egyptians today and long ago. Today, people gather plants such as clover to feed their animals. They still used farming for that purpose in ancient times. So one could definitely conclude that Egypt is still alike what it was in ancient times. On the other hand, Egypt has changed quite a bit from what it was thousands and thousands of years ago. People do not celebrate their religion as they did long ago. For example: · They no longer create mummies or pyramids. · They do not believe in the same gods and goddesses as they did in ancient times. · They aren't even a part of polytheism, or worship of many gods. · Most Egyptians are now Muslims and worship Allah instead of other goes. Another way that Egypt has changed is their government. Many millenniums ago, Egyptians believed that Pharaohs, their leaders, were sons of the god Horus, and therefore were gods as well. Nowadays, they do not believe in those gods, as I said earlier, and instead have presidents.
