Ancient Egypt


If I could go back to 3100 BCE

I would make sure to go see

The tombs filled with hieroglyphs and mummies

I would sail down the NIle and grab fruit from the trees

and learn more about there theocracy

 

Knowing that they are polytheistic

I would listen about the gods Ra, Osiris, Isis, and Horus

Then I would write about my findings on their paper; papyrus

 

As my journey would come to a close

I would sadly watch as they were invaded by Kush

And conquered by Rome

I would ride back down the Nile

And travel back home
