Well, it wasn't all hearts and flowers - it pretty much went to shit after the 20th Dynasty.

Hippychick wanted to know which particular era you wanted information on.

I was thinking you had to write an essay more on the Pharoahs and thier reign...Thier the ones that made ancient Egypt succeed.
Up until the greeks and romans took over as Pharoahs. i.e Cleopatra

Ah, dosnt matter really, I would guess the era's where they were sucessful and prosperous in.

Mabye some hints on why a strong economy, the nile, the geography of the place and the military made them sucessful(to prove my thesis statement).

Although its a 3 point essay, I still wana make sure I pick the one with the most info. Hell, even a website with hints on this stuff would be nice.

Sorry if I've misread this. However wouldn't reading the evidence then drawing a conclusion from it be better than deciding on a conclusion and seeking evidence to support it.

Okay, I think the pharoahs are going to be a part in my essay. I was thinking about talking about Ramesses the great, Cleopatra VII and Khufu(for building the pyramid)

As for the other two topics. What could I discuss if I decieded to talk about their economy and the nile(fertile land, trade, transportation?)

When you think of Egypt, you think of the Great Pyramids, Hieroglyphs and the Nile. Ancient Egypt was arguably the most influential society in the ancient world. They invented the calendar, the medical profession and had skilled trades. For a civilization that lived thousands of years ago, they had a lot going for them. But what made them so great? This can’t be answered with one thing, there were many. The Pharaohs in ancient Egypt were only the supreme leaders, but they where also gods. Legends of great things done by these Pharaohs still exist today. The legend of the battle of Kadesh in which Ramesses the great lead 6 chariot passes against a army that outnumbered his army greatly still exists. A strong leader made the society, when Akhenaten came into power the society was broken. It was the leaders that made Egypt great. The Nile also played a big role in the success of Egypt. It provided easy transportation, fertile land and eventually leads to trading expeditions to further Egypt’s wealth.

Yeah right now i know its horrible grammer and a overall poor introductory but im tired.

I need a last point before I go to school tommorow. If someone could offer a good one that would make my life easier.

Thanks.
