the ancient Egyptian word for house is p(e)r. However, they simply had different styles of houses based on wealth...hovel, mansion etc. There was no real name for the style of a house.

Because Egypt is complete desert, their civilization developed around the Nile River and people started living near the Nile River because without the river and its flooding, people wouldn't have resources they need to live in Egypt.

Egyptians were affected by their contact with the Nubians because for many years the Egyptians had to trade and fight with their southern neighbor.

"The color red refers to the period before the Revolution which brought a group of army officers to power after deposing(blood)... the King of Egypt. This was a time characterized by the struggle against the British occupation of the country. The white symbolizes the advent of the 1952 Revolution which ended the monarchy without bloodshed. The color black symbolizes the end of the oppression of the people of Egypt at the hands of the Monarchy and British colonialism"

As Ancient Egypt started, there were two kingdoms. The Upper kingdom was in the south, and the lower kingdom was in the north. When the two kingdoms were united, we get what we call toady Ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt covered what we know today as Egypt, and part of modern Nubia. Eventually Alexander the Great conquered Egypt for Macedonia, and set the Ptolemy's on the throne. The Macedonian dynasty ended with Cleopatra when Julius Caesar took over Egypt for Rome.

Ramses the great ruled during the time when lower and upper Egypt were united, so he ruled both.

People were mummified to help them pass into the afterlif, The process changed over time in Egypt, but always involved removing the internal organs, treating the body with resin, and wrapping the entire body in linen bandages.

Mostly goods or food because the Egyptians beleived in the afterlife and wanted their kings or queens to get royal treatment in the afterlife

Around 3 million. Contemporary French estimates put it at only 2.5m, but later census returns suggest that it's unlikely to have been far below 3.5m.

The number of people required to build a pyramid depends on its size. According to the Greek historian Herodotus (c.450BC) 100,000 men toiled for twenty years to build the Great pyramid of king Khufu. Later pyramids, according to surviving records, took about 5,000 men to build. The workers were often peasants conscripted during the inundation of the river Nile when work was not possible in the fields. The majority of these men, if not all, would have been naked, too low in status to wear clothes.

Every text ( and old Biblical epic movie) reports that the pyramids were made of limestone blocks positioned by thousands of slaves but Joseph Davidovits (a French Cemical Engineer) proposed, in the 1980's that at least some of these blocks were made of concrete. The lower tiers were done by the sweating slaves method, but the higher layers were made by workers carrying bags of wet cement to moulds.

MIT is actually reviewing this proposal by duplicating the theorozed Egyptian cement mixture.

The outer stone layer of the pyramid of Khufu was built with Tura stones. This is a l white limestone. Tura limestone is quite soft and can be worked easily but, after being exposed to air, it hardens.

the ancient priests of egypt ate, fish, wine, bread, beer, turnups, garlic, and sometimes figs.

water from the nile was diverted by digging ditches in the ground in fields, when the river raised the water would go down the ditches. the ground would then soak up the water and plants would grow.

No.

There are Arab populations which form the majority of countries throught North Africa. Additionally, Arabs form significant minorities in many European countries such as Spain, France, and the United Kingdom. There are also smaller percentages of Arabs in other First-World countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Children had to do lots of tough jobs. the main ones were:

-Chimney sweeping

- Textiles, rubbing pieces of cloth together until their hands were bloody and sore

- Crawling underneath machines and picking up bits of waste

This was particularly dangerous because the workers would just on the machine while they were cleaning.

No. The monarchy was overthrown in 1952. King Farouk was forced to abdicate in favour of his young son Fuad II, who was almost immediately also sent into exile.

Upper Egypt is in the South and Lower Egypt is the north. This is so because the Nile River flows south to north.

There were limestone and rock quarries nearby, which they `farmed` and sold.

the 1st type of farmers is farmers that rented land and paid their rent with crops. the other type of farmer are farmers that worked for wealthy nobles. this a fact that i learned

Scholars have identified the origins of the Hebrew language as a dialect of Canaanite around 900 BCE. The Greek language of Homer's Epics existed long before 1000 BCE, so Greek is much older than Hebrew.

You would go South.
