It is right on top of [|Africa] (Click here to see where egypt is) The many achievements of the ancient Egyptians, includes also construction techniques that facilitated the building of Monumental Pyramids and temples using the [|Pythagorean theorem] thousands of years before Pythagoras was born. It has a hot climate and most of the land is desert. People in ancient Egypt have their own way to grow crops, building, and making civilizations. Nile river, Egypt's heart, flow through the whole Egypt. It is also the largest river in ancient Egypt. People in ancient Egypt use their smartness to create many things that turn Egypt to a modern country.

At the north of Cario was [|Lower Egypt] where the Nile stretched out with its several branches to form the Nile Delta. It is on the top of the Nile River and it contrasts sharply with Upper Egypt. The important cites in Lower Egypt include Sais and Bubastis.

**__Upper Egypt__**
[|Upper egypt] is also called [|Nile Valley]. It is on south of Cario and Lower Egypt, stretching to Syene. It is a small place, not even more than a few miles wide. The important cities in Upper Egypt include Abydos, Edfu, and Thebes. Most of the Nile river is on Upper Egypt.

**__Climate__**
Ancient Egypt doesn't have the weather we got in wancouver. The climate in ancient Egypt is always hot and dry. This country only have two seasons: very hot summer and not so cold winter. Summer always last from May to October. The temputure is about 95 degrees Fahrenheit. In summer, there isn't a lot of rain and the desert is always dry and hot. Winter is from November to April. The temputre in winter is about 45 degrees Fahrenheit. There are more rain and wind in winter. Winter in Egypt usually the best tiem of the year, warm and comfortable.

=**__Adapt and Manage__** = Most of the land in ancient Egypt is desert. It is hard to find water to grow crops. People get though this by getting water from the Nile river. they also findout the land near the Nile River is rich for growing crops. It is also easier to get water for the plant because it is just beside the Nile River. That is why people live near the river. People builds Phymarids in the desert because it won't get damanged. It is very hot and dry in summer, so Ancient Egyptian's houses have windows that didn't have glass. It will make wind flow through and cool down the temputure in the house. But those houses were made out of caly so it is harder to stand up when there is raininng.

=**__Modern lessons__** = Ancient Egyptians built pyramids and mud brick houses, but now people build buildings, houses, schools, using woods, bricks, and metals.It is very hot in Egypt. In ancient time, they build houses that doesn't have windows to let air get though.But now, people has air condentioner to cool them down. It is hard to find water in ancient time, so people move near the river or build roads to let water get through.Now, people have pipes under the ground to bring water every where. They use geometric shapes in ancient time, but now people use landscaping and geometry. These Egyptians were very smart people without even knowing it. For Egyptians, their hand was their greatest tool, but now our tools are mostly metal steal objects such as [|bulldozers], [|jack hammers], [|saws], [|nail guns], and so many other man made objects.
