Introduction to Anthropology, 5th Period
"Today, we're going to be moving away from all the theories and start talking about the archaeology of different places," Daniel said, smiling. "Starting with my own personal favorite, Egypt."
"We're going to start off by talking about the geography.
The ancient Egyptians thought of Egypt as being divided into two types of land, the 'black land' and the 'red land'.
The 'black land' was the fertile land on the banks of the Nile. The ancient Egyptians used this land for growing their crops. This was the only land in ancient Egypt that could be farmed because a layer of rich, black silt was deposited there every year after the Nile flooded.
The 'red land' was the barren desert that protected Egypt on two sides. These deserts separated ancient Egypt from neighbouring countries and invading armies. They also provided the ancient Egyptians with a source for precious metals and semi-precious stones.
The Ancient Greek used to call Eygpt "The Gift of the Nile"
What do you think about a civilization in the Nile Valley?"

After Janet figured out who was making everything stick to her hands and made them suffer.

He would also be hoping that it took a long time to figure out who made her hands sticky.
