The Earth
Six billion years ago the universe was formed by a supernova explosion and the gravity formed our solar system.
Four and a half billion years ago there were lots of volcanoes that expulsed molten earth at the crusted and it got cold. There were also lots of earthquakes that produced the emergency of the continents from the oceans, life developed.
First of all, all the land was together forming a super-continent called Pangaea yet, it was parted by a rift between America and Africa while the Atlàntic borner.
That separation of the continents made possible the diversity of animals and plants on our planet.
The Earth is always changing because as the new plate is formed the old one is destroyed, that process is called subduction.
Two examples of these changes are the middle oceans ridges that expelled magma and created volcanic islands, or the tectonic plates that crushed and formed mountains like the Himalayas.
But the Earth’s changes are unpredictable and dangerous, like the example of the Minoan civilization in Greece, that was destroyed by a volcano. Fortunately, nowadays we can predict the Earthquakes and some volcano eruptions.We’ve studied the interior of the Earth and now we now how to make profit of it.

Egypt
Egypt is one of the most ancient civilizations on the world. It was always protected by his deserts and its people could live there because in Egypt they have the longest river in the world: the Nile. It crosses half of Africa, it travels around 4,000 miles long and all the people grew vegetables, wheat… near the Nile.
Egypt is also famous for its monuments, like pyramids. Pyramids are big stone monuments. For example, Giza’s pyramids. They are more than 4000 years old, more than 500 feet hight and they were built with more than 50 tones of stones.
Pyramids were a mystical link between the Earth and the sky, and also they were enormous tombs for the pharaohs (sons of Ra, the god of the Sun), pharaohs were considered living gods on the Earth.
The Egyptians hid in the pyramids all the treasures and food that the pharaohs needed to complete their travel to the new life.
It is for that reason that lots of people got into the tombs and stole the treasures, so the pharaohs started to build small tombs.
In 1922, Howard Carter found one of the most important tombs in the world, Tutankhamen's. It was full of valuable objects, and all was intact.
So in my opinion, in Egypt there are lots of things that could help us to know more about ancient civilizations.
