Two obelisks, maybe for a temple. An obelisk is a tall, four-sided, narrow tapering monument which ends in a pyramid-like shape or pyramidion at the top.

5. The Nile was the superhighway of Ancient Egypt. It enabled Egyptians to move goods and people up or down the river. The Egyptians people could move crops up and down the river during time of famine or plenty. River transport also gave craftsmen a chance to sell and trade beyond their local markets. The Nile made a national economy possible

4. Doc D: Field of Reeds (Tomb Painting)
Farming: harvesting wheat (panel three); plowing, seeding, pulling flax (panel four).
Panel three: wheat, sickle, basket. Panel four: cattle, plow, basket, flax plants. Bottom panel: the Nile River, with shrubs and date palms along its banks.
Virtually everything! No water, no life, no crops, no animals, no boat rides, no people.
The river had a profound effects on the spiritual beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. This painting shows that the Egyptians believed the Nile would continue to provide for them in the afterlife. The Nile almost always appears in tomb paintings.

6. Doc E Hymn to the Nile
1. It is a song of praise or thanks, especially to a God or gods.
2. It keeps the land alive(able to produce food)
-It floods the fields so that the animals will have the food they need to live.
-It causes barley and wheat to grow.
-It allows religious festivals(in times of plenty)
-It makes the people joyful.
3. Not enough flooding reduces silt buildup and limits immigration. This causes famine and poverty.
4. If it weren’t for the Nile river, the Egyptian civilization would not have arisen. People could not have survived in this desert land without the river.
5. The hymn shows that the Egyptians worshipped the river and understood its importance in their culture. They had a spiritual relationship with the Nile as well as practical, everyday connection to it. The river had the power to make them happy or great sorrow, even death.
