The Underground Railroad Book

Ancient Egypt is a nonfiction book written by Shirley Jordan. Ancient Egypt happened about 7,000 years ago. The book Ancient Egypt talks about the history of Egypt and what happened then. First, they were the nomads,those people traveled and move throughout out places trying to discover new things. Their kings were then called pharaoh. The first king Ancient Egypt had was called King Menes. Ancient Egypt well then build their first pyramid which was 2700 B.C. Thebes becomes the capital of Egypt 2160 B.C.


I know my book is a non-fiction book for many reasons. First, it talks about a real subject which is Ancient Egypt. The scientist is trying to learn more about the Ancient times and is trying to find more hieroglyphics. Secondly, the book contains real facts and information. It also talks about people at that time and important events that happened then. Lastly, it talks about historical writings or objects found by scientist that talks about Ancient Egypt.


The book Ancient Egypt contains a lot of facts about the history of Egypt. One fact about Ancient Egypt was that 1575 B.C Egypt got invaded by the Asian tribe Hyksos and they killed a lot of people. When the Asian tribe attacked Egypt it showed them horses chariots and bronze. Secondly, the first pyramid built in Ancient Egypt was called the Great Pyramid and was built for the King Cheops. Thirdly, Alexander the Great and his army conquered Egypt and other parts of the world, when he dies his general claims Egypt. Another fact is that the Egyptians had a hierarchy of important people. The most important one was the pharaoh,then was the scribes,the generals, the craftsmen, the peasants and lastly the slaves. Lastly, Egypt gets controlled by the Romans and it becomes part of the Roman Empire.





I think that the authors topic is a really nice thing to be talked about. Ancient Egypt is a nice topic to be discussed by people because they are many different things to be spoken and there are many pieces of information about it. It is also an important choice because it is one of the most important subjects because it changed a lot of ideas and Egyptian wrote a hieroglyphics which gave scientists a lot of clues.




I would recommend this book to people who loves the history of life and who wants to learn more about Ancient things that happened. It also describes really well and gives a timeline of important events that happened then, it also gives facts and objects that scientist found. This book is mostly for people who like to learn more about Egypt's history and people who like to learn more about scientist's discovery. The most disappointing part of the book was to learn that Asians tribe attacked Egypt and killed a lot of slaves' children's.
