Today we had a two hour delay so every class was shortened (forty minutes). We are supposed to have a seventy five point quiz tomorrow in western civ but I don't know if it is happening. I don't know if it is happening because on a few on the slides we had some pretty long discussions and didn't get through all the slides and notes that we need for tomorrow's quiz. I am still going to study a little bit in case we end up still taking it. I hope it isn't hard, and I don't think it will be because I did pretty well on his last quiz. I starred some of the notes that I wrote down in class because Mr. Schick said they would be test questions.
Important Notes:
-Upper Egypt- 500 mile long; fertile land along nile
-lower Egypt- wide land of nile delta; emptying into the Mediterranean Sea
-(Narmer (pharaoh)) two land were united under a single king
-Egyptians believe in afterlife, called Ka, mummified bodies (to preserve) for post- death journey
-Astronomers created 12 month calendar, & 365 days to make a better sense of seasonal cycles
-wooden sailboats were made (technological break through)
-pyramid- massive stone tombs
