The Egyptian civilization is the one I like the most. This ancient culture was born all around the Nile, the longest river in the World and it allowed life there. It’s known that there wouldn’t be life if Nile wasn’t there.
Surrounding this river there were wildlife and Egyptians used to extract minerals, grew vegetables and cereals and slaves and peasant farmers spent days carrying enormous blocks of rock. Hundreds and hundreds men died for build those colossal pyramids which symbolized the joint between sky and earth. They had to make sure that stones fit one with others and they had to be aligned with the stars. Lining up stones had a meant, and this meant was “Knowledge and Organization”.
In my point of view Egyptians have been a reference to us not only in art but also in maths, science, astrology and the creation of our 24 hour-day and 365 day-year. The birth of this wise civilization made possible the apparition and the extension of much knowledge and we have to be grateful to them.
What’s more, I’d like to remark the importance that they gave to god. They believed that Ra, the sun’s God created everything. They weren’t worried about death because most people didn’t use to enjoy life. Moreover they felt that death was their salvation.
Many explorers had tried to discover many tombs and treasures. Some of them have failed but many have succeeded. It’s worthy to mention Howard Carter who worked very hard but finally his work was compensated. He found out the Tutankhamen’s tomb. This vault was full of wonderful things and gold.
