    The Importance Of Pharaohs In Ancient Egypt

    According to Egyptian documents the Egyptians loved cats more than anything else. They honored them like we honor the president. The only people in ancient Egypt to have cats were the pharaohs. The pharaohs could not give, trade, or sell their cats to a foreigner. It would be a crime and was not tolerable. If you killed a cat you would be killed by other Egyptians. A roman soldier was once killed for accidently killing a cat. If you accidently kill a cat you would have to fake mourning to trick the other pharaohs into believing you didn't do it. If a cat were to die it would be turned into a mummy and would be buried on top of your coffin.…

    Ap Human Geography Ancient Egypt

    Egypt is a land with a rich and varied history that spans from the 10th century BC. The country is seen by many Historians as being the “cradle of civilization”. This is because it housed one of the most advanced cultures for many centuries. The Egyptians were responsible for some of the earliest examples of writing with hieroglyphs. Egypt is also home to the Sphinx, which is one of the great feats of architectural engineering in history. Ancient Egyptians were also one of the first civilizations to turn away from the nomadic lifestyle and implement centralized government, organized religion, urbanization and agriculture. In fact, it was one of the first areas in which Christianity flourished before ninety percent of the country converted to Islam in the seventh century. The country has also assimilated many cultures to their own throughout the centuries from the Greeks, Romans, Persians, Ottoman, etc. Turmoil since the beginning of the 1900’s has had a devastating effect on the country. This is primarily the result of European colonization and the ordinances…

    Mesopotamia and Egypt Comparative Essay

    Pharaohs played a powerful role in the Egyptian society, more so than the kings did in the Mesopotamian civilization. Although both rulers had great responsibilities such as leading their armies, managing their civilizations, and ruling over the people in their jurisdiction, the Egyptian pharaohs ruled over much more land and people than the Mesopotamian kings did. This is because Mesopotamia was divided into small city-states in which one king was assigned to, but in Egypt the pharaoh ruled over the entire civilization and was expected to bring them wealth and prosperity. The pharaohs were even thought to have godly powers and used them to communicate with other gods to protect the Egyptians from the flooding of the Nile and other disasters.…
