Let us first define what civilization is.

Student B, can you please read the
meaning of Civilization.
A civilization is generally an advanced
stage of organization. That means it has
laws, culture, a regular way of getting food
and protecting the people.
Ancient Egypt was considered one of
the longest civilizations in Africa.

What do you think are the reasons

that made Egyptian Civilization as
the longest civilization in Africa?
Maybe because Egypt was so advanced than
the others before Sir.
Very Good, you’re correct.

The Egyptian civilization developed in North
East Africa along the Mediterranean and
Red Sea
The Egyptian Civilization developed along
the Nile River Valley.
The Nile River floods annually soaking the
soil and depositing a rich layer of silk, or
soil.
Egyptian kings were called pharaohs. They
were not elected; they inherited the
kingdom from their ancestors. All the
pharaohs of the same family formed a
dynasty. There were more than 25 dynasties
in the history of Ancient Egypt
The PHAROAH was at the top of the social
hierarchy. Next to him, the most powerful
officers were the VIZIERS, the executive
heads of the bureaucracy. Under them were
the HIGH PRIESTS, followed by ROYAL
OVERSEERS (administrators) who ensured
that the 42 DISTRICT GOVERNORS carried
out the pharaoh's orders. At the bottom of
the hierarchy were the SCRIBES, ARTISANS,
 FARMERS, and LABORERS.

All children, regardless of social class,

received some education. Followed a moral
and ethical guide “Instructions in Wisdom

Thank you Group 3. Let’s give all the surviving
groups a round of applause! Egyptians are religious people. All in all,
they have 2000 gods and goddesses.
During their time the Egyptians made
inventions.
First was the use of calendar to help
them keep track of the time between
floods to plan their planting season.
Second, they calculated the number
of days as 365 days and they divided
the year into 12 months and each
month of 30 days.
And Egyptians were the first to use
stone columns in their homes,
palaces, and temples.
However, about 2180 B.C.
Egypt fell to the invaders.
