Great Pyramids- old kingdom
Neolithic-7000-4500 B.C.
Southern part of Egypt was upper side & same w/ north because the Nile flows that way
Wars between upper/lower Egypt
Narmer unites upper and lower
Gained control by fighting- people were afraid of him
Had power that was instilled by fear
Old Kingdom
Egypt unified; start of dynasties (kings and rulers by birth)
Egypt used hard stones
You'll no ur lookin @ a reel statue wen there is no space between legs
Lasts about 500 yrs
We get the Great Pyramids of Giza
Pharaoh was like divinity, top glowed white
Slaves may or may not have been used to make pyramids
Mortuary Cities- only reason Giza existed was because of the dead pharaohs
Death is the most IMPORTANT thing in Egyptian culture
Hieroglyphs show the pronunciation of the word and something that has to do with that word
