Egypt is a land full of mystery and rich history. You would definitely love traveling there to be able to experience history in real time. Ancient Egypt is a place where majestic breakthroughs took place. This is the time of the pharaohs, the most powerful persons during that time.

The ancient civilization of Egypt started along the riverbanks of the longest river in the world, the Nile River. The riverbanks, even before had rich soil because of the nutrients that were carried by the vast River. It overflowed every year which would leave behind these nutrients when the water levels would return to normal. The people found out that the land was good for planting, so they started on planting crops for their subsistence. As the civilization grew, some families rose to the ranks.

 The richer ones became the leaders and the ordinary ones were the followers, until the idea of importing slaves was introduced. The slaves were the ones who tilled the lands and the native Egyptians, their masters. As the thriving country grew, so was the power of those at the head of the government. The head and the most powerful were called Pharaohs. They ordered to build pyramids made from large boulders, to make different statues and Sphinx in order to honor their gods and their kings. Pyramids are the final resting place of the dead, in Egypt, and there is a great adventure novel the explores this. They believe in life after death and that one can bring all the material possessions that would be placed in his tomb. Ancient Egyptians also boasts of their way of mummification.
