Unicorns

On Friday, I had to leave class early because I had an orthodontist appointment.  We didn't do that much when I was there during first mod.  I remember starting to go through a power point on pyramids and Egyptian Life.  We learned that Egyptians depended on the Nile River for everything.  At the same time every year, the Nile River flooded so the people knew when they shouldn't plant crops.  Just like flooding, the river receded at the same time every year.  The soil around the river bank was very good and allowed the people to grow crops.  Another thing we learned was that the pyramids were built before Jesus was born and they have stayed up this long.  The Egyptians were very smart because they thought of the idea of tricking people.  In the pyramids, they made fake tunnels so people would get lost and they wouldn't be able to find whatever was hidden inside.  Most pyramids were built as graves for dead pharaohs and their families.  Some held treasures like gold or other valuable things.
