In Western Civilization class we review for our quiz tomorrow. It was supposed to be today, but yesterday we had multiple debates that carried out for a long period of time. Since we had those arguments we didn't get through all of the notes and side that we needed for our quiz. I am happy it got pushed back a day because it gave me more time to study and perfect my knowledge on Egypt and what the notes are. An irrelevant argument we had today was if fish are animals or not. Elpris thought fish aren't animals but the whole class said they were animals. He didn't know what he was saying.
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
-gods ofter portrayed as an animal head with human body or human head with an animal body
