The Early Years of Egypt
The Egyptians went through the Neolithic Revolution around 8000 B.C.E. During the Neolithic Revolution is when Egypt became civilized. Geography had a profound effect during the Neolithic Revolution on economic, political, and cultural terms.
In Egypt economics were greatly affected by the proximity of the nation to the Nile River. The river helped with communication, transportation, and agriculture. The Nile River was very helpful for the crops. The river would flood annually so it was very predictable. After the flood would come back down the ground would be soft and feral ready to produce crops. Having plentiful crops in turn caused specialization of labor. Specialization of labor caused Egypt to prosper in other ways besides agriculture. This caused other professions and technology to be invented. Due to geography Egypt was exceeding economical expectations.

Ancient beliefs were largely formed around astrology. Egyptians were polytheistic and believed that the stars were their many gods. The gods were believed to be controlling the natural world from the spiritual world. The Egyptians believed that the gods controlled the river’s annual flood. Because of the annual floods there was a food surplus which allowed specialization of labor. This allowed them to prosper at such a fast rate that they invented hieroglyphics and pyramids.(doesn’t make sense,clear up) In the Egyptian culture the people were led to believe that the pyramids they built as a tomb for their pharaoh would save them. If the pharaoh’s body lay in the tomb the gods would accept him into heaven along with his people. The building of the pyramid was made possible by geography.(how can you prove this, this is opinion not fact) The Egyptians would not have progressed so rapidly without their placement along the Nile
