All About Egypt!

Most of Egypt is desert. The sahara takes up most of northern Africa, but many people live there. Most people in Egypt live by the Nile river. The Egyptians have depended on its water since ancient times. Farmers grow rice, vegetables, and watermelons.
 

Koshari is a traditional Egyptian meal. People make it with rice, noodles, tomato sauce, and onions. Egypt is famous for its pyramids and fantastic treasures. The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The Egyptians built the pyramids as tombs for their pharaohs, or kings. 

The ancient Egyptian writing is called hieroglyphics. The Egyptians used to write on paper called papyrus. They used a very fine brush and ink. The most common colors were red and black. Hieroglyphics were very complicated. It took a long of time to read and write them. In 1822, a Frenchman, Jean Franchois Champillion, managed to crack the code of the hieroglyphics and translate them.
