Ancient Egypt

Egypt is centered around the Nile.
The Nile empties into the Mediterarian Sea and empties out through a Delta.
The Nile supported water for drinking, for irrigating, for bathing, and for transportation.
Every July in Egypt it floods.
Every October it leaves behind rich soil
They are the first people to figure out a solar based day and a lunar based year.
The delta is a broad, marshy triangular area of silt.
The river flow from south to north
Managing the river required technological breakthroughs for their time. 

Pyramids:
Great Sphinx of Giza
It was a lion with a human's head
It was built from 2555 - 2532 BC
Oldest monumental statue in the world

The greatest amount of people back then were the greatest amount of people in the Egyptian society.
