- Lower Egypt is where the mouth of the Nile start, upper is where it thins out.
- Pyramids were covered in limestone because it reflected the suns and the Pharaohs buried inside them where the sun god reincarnated
- in an Egyptian culture from the old kingdom there is never a space between the legs
- there was a man, unsure if he was real or unreal, that brought upper Egypt and lower Egypt together by force.
- who built the pyramids?
- not the slaves! paid workers built the pyramids
- pyramids where called mortuary cities
- slaves maintained the mortuary cities by working in Egypt.
- the Egyptians believed that when you were buried your KA, or energy of the person, would hang around the pyramid until called to judgement
- judgement would be when the dead person meets with the god, the person's heart is measured against a feather. if they are equal then they can go to the after life.
