Essay #2 2/14/14

(1)The sail boat was one of their most famous inventions.  This was important to them because it helped them travel on water instead of by horse or by foot.  It also made trading much faster.  Another famous invention was the pyramid.  This was the final resting place(s) of the pharaohs.  It was very big and complex for a tomb.  These are still standing today.  Another invention that is still standing today, is the sphinx.  The Spinx was build to protect the tombs and the bodies inside of it.  It had the body of a lion and the head of a human.
(2) In the ancient pyramids, there were many different rooms and tunnels.  This was to confuse the people/person if they tried to break into the tomb.  Another important feature was there was a hidden entrance that only a couple people knew about.  The bricks/blocks were put together so well, that you couldn't even fit a small knife blade in between them.
