- Upper Egypt - south
- Lower Egypt - north
- Nile flows from upper to lower Egypt.
- Narmer Palette - The leader had ultimate power - often instilled by fear.
- Dynasty - a succession of kings and rulers by birthright.
- Real Egyptian statues have no space between the legs, Greek sculptures did
- Old Kingdom: 2649 - 2150 B.C.
- Mortuary Cities - the only reason Giza existed was for the entombment of the pharaohs
- Death is the single most important thing in Egyptian culture.
- Hieroglyphs are not pictures, each symbol makes a certain sound.
- Conscription - compulsory (forced) enrollment for national service
It is only because Egypt had slaves that they had enough time to dedicate to something like building pyramids.
