Egyptian Civilization

"I'm going to present a slide show on grate civilizations. Civilization means man's social, spiritual, philosophical and technological development. Look at the first slide. This is one fine example of a grate civilization, the Egyptian civilization which existed in the valley of the river Nile. These huge pyramids of Egypt are the highest man - made creations of the world. The ancient Egyptians were religious people. They believed their king, Pharaoh was a god living on earth. They believed in the immortality of the soul. Hence, the Pyramids, the tombs were built to house the souls of the dead.

These granite pyramids amaze the world not only by their enormous size, but also by the beauty of geometrical construction. One granite block is about 30 feet in length. Some granite had been brought from quarries in the Arabian hills to the Nile, ferried across and hauled to the construction sites. For the construction of tiers, blocks were lifted by a king of crane. Today the highest pyramid is 137 meters high.

The underground burial chambers are beautifully decorated with paintings. The dead bodies, the mummies preserved inside them which have not decayed to this day, because of the science and technology that been used astonish the whole world.
