Cyber Day 2

Question 1
       One invention that the Egyptians created was the calendar. This was useful because it helped them keep time and they knew when the Nile would flood. The sailboat was a major invention because the Egyptians could travel up and down the Nile. Another invention was the plow, which made it easier to plant crops.
Question 2
       A major feature for the pyramids were the passage ways. These secret tunnels made it challenging for thief's to steal valuable items. The tombs were used to bury the pharaohs in so they could have a good afterlife. Another feature was the blocks, there were millions of blocks in each pyramid and each one weighed a couple of tons. Also, these blocks were placed perfectly next to each other.
