My name is Hori, and my sister's name is Meres Amun. We wish to tell you about the history of Ancient Egypt. Did you know that the largest part of Egypt was made up of desert sands, making it seem empty and barren? There were also large rocks and high cliffs. The river Nile made Egypt a place where people could live and work. It created a vast green area with trees and vegetation. The people called it "The beloved land", and it gave Egypt its wealth and was good for agriculture. There were two rivers which formed the Nile. The Blue Nile ascended from the mountains in Abyssinia, and the White Nile from the waters in central Africa. Egypt had three Kingdoms. The Old Kingdom existed from 2640 to 2130 BC. This was the period when the first pyramids were built, and many other prominent buildings were constructed. It was also a flourishing time for the arts, medicine, literature and science.
