ancient egypt

Ancient Egypt was very dry.  The civilization had to form along the Nile River because it was a source of water and food.  Everywhere else there was sand.  This kept them safe from invaders because no one could cross the desert and get to them.  The ancient Egyptians made art.  They also made things like copper tools, clothes, pots and jars.  Another very important part of ancient Egypt civilization was their hieroglyphics.  Hieroglyphics are what they wrote with.  They were pictures instead of letters.  They wrote on papyrus.
