„For thousands of years, the mummies and the pyramids were a great mystery. How were the pyramids built? Why did people make mummies? What was the strange writing on the mummy cases? The ancient Egyptians believed in a sun god and a cat goddess. They thought they could live forever. Egypt is where one of the oldest civilizations in the world began. Five thousand years ago, Egyptians invented one of the first forms of writing. They made a kind of paper from the reed plants. They invented a calendar much like the ones we use today. Why did such a great civilization begin in Egypt so long ago? Most historians think the answer is simple: the Nile River. The Nile River is the longest river in the world. It flows through the middle of the Egypt. The Nile gave the ancient Egyptians water for drinking and bathing. The Egyptian fishermen caught many kinds of fish in the Nile. The hunters hunted wild birds along its banks. The boats sailed up and down the Nile, carrying the people and the goods.“
