pardon the interruption


We interrupt our study of ancient Greece to go back to ancient Egypt.

As I explained in class today, we are going to backtrack, chronologically speaking, to study the pyramids and the temples, the pharaohs and the slaves, the Nile and the desert.

And the mudbricks. Especially the mudbricks. Mudbricks were a way of life in Egypt 5000 years ago, and they can still be used today, as in this story.


Tonight, do a little independent research on ancient Egypt. Pick one aspect of Egypt (the geography, daily life, hieroglyphics, mummification, etc.), and post a couple hundred words. Feel free to include images, maps, photos, or any other visual aids to our learning. List the link where you did your research.
