//__GEOGRAPHY__// Egypt is located in the northeast of Africa, surrounded almost entirely of the Sahara desert. While traveling in Egypt is essential to try to visit each of its locations in addition to the capital Cairo. Being on the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea, Egypt is very close to the regions of Libya.

It is very dry, the people depend on the Nile river water to survive and many times it is in the summer floods between June and October, Egypt will not be a country without it. It only has two seasons: Summer, from May to September. Winter, from November to March. The average of a day in Egypt is about 45.6°C, and the average of the night is 5.6°C. It rains only once in several years in many places, like Cairo (it recieves 28mm of precipitacions per year). Egypt is classified like one of the hottest places in the world, it has the Sahara desert (the hottest desert in the world). But the wettest area is on the Mediterran coast, because its precipitacion is about 200mm. (By Valeria Jara)

Amarna is a city, but before was called Akhetaton, in honor of the god Aten. It had naturalistic styles and natural scenes. The couple raised many buildings and conducted sophisticated ceremonies in temples and palaces. His new capitol attacked the cults of other gods in Egypt, especially Amon.Sites of Amon were desecrated and any evidence of worship to this god destroyed.Akhenaten destroyed his father cartouches because it have Amos name encrypted upon it.This continued to outrage the people of Egypt and left the population uneasy and angry. Corruption fell upon the temples and they were dependant in that city.===== (By Melanie Chinchayán)

Cleopatra VII, was the last pharaoh of Egypt .Once Pompey arrived in Egypt, messengers were sent to Ptolemy asking him to continue the friendship his father had set up before his death. She came up with a brilliant plan which was to be wrapped inside a carpet and presented to Caesar. Her well trusted friend Apollodorus sailed to Alexandria and wrapped the queen. Achillas, another advisor of young Ptolemy, also wanted to destroy Cleopatra. He knew she was supported by the strongest man in the world and Caesar would only leave Egypt if he was pushed back to Rome.Achillas was also eventually killed by Ganymedes, Cleopatra’s advisor, for disagreeing over the intensions of taking over the throne. After the defeat of Cleopatra’s enemies, Caesar now controlled Egypt. Although having full control of Egypt’s territory he had no intentions of ruling.

By:Valeria Paz Ranses 2 Ramses II ruled during the 19th Dynasty (1279-1212 BC). He was the third ruler during this time period. Being powerful and ambitious, he would expand Egypt’s empire a vast deal and would construct many temples all of which overshadow many of the others before him. Although known for expansion and building structures, he also remains an important Pharaoh to the story of Exodus**.** The tomb of Ramses II is located in the Valley of the Kings and remains empty. After years or being looted and weathered, it remains destroyed. Great amounts of effort are in progress with the hope of returning the tomb to a somewhat presentable stage. Although the tomb remains empty, the mummy of the Pharaoh has been found. Ramses II’s mummy is thought to be one of the best-preserved mummies ever found. kimberly Marreros

**__Critical Thinking__**

We think that Egypt is a very historical place that has a lot of traditions and had very diferent cultures,if we compare Peruvian culture and Egypt culture they are very diferents and also have some similarities.Here in Peru like in Egypt they do the embalming when people die.The religion of Egypt is muslim and here most are catholics.Our coin is Soles and in has a very diferent coin that is:egyptian pound.Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa and Middle East.If in Egypt isn´t the Nile river would be a desert,and it would not have silt.It would not have population because they don´t have water and vegetation.
