Egypt

  1. Egypt is reversed, i.e. the northern part is considered the lower part and thus the opposite with the south because the Nile River flows north.
  2. A real Egyptian statue has no real space between the legs.
  3. Work quarters were built around the pyramids that appeared to be for hired workers and not slaves.
  4. Mortuary Cities - the term used to describe the pyramid building complexes.
  5. Death is the single most important thing in ancient culture.
  6. Hieroglyphs are made up of an actual alphabet-like grammatical glyphs that describe the glyph and how to pronounce it.
