Summary:

In this section I learn about the Egyptian ‘s writing, temples and art. This

is a interesting section, it let me discover the Egyptian other feature.

I learn about how their writing system grow, I think writing system is more

important in this system, it let us know their history, and Achievement. The

historian don’t know how to read the hieroglyphic, but they found the

Rosetta Stone, a stone cover by hieroglyphics and Greek, it is a key of

reading hieroglyphics.

If I living in that period, I would really want to study hieroglyphics, just

like now I living in this country, and try to learn English.

Wring is an important system, but I think more interesting work is art. Art

is important too, but I think it is certainly hard.

The Egyptian art show on painting, carving, and jewelry three ways.

Their painting cover the wall, tombs, but it also painting on the canvas,

papyrus, pottery, plaster, and wood.

This section is interesting section, it let me discover the Egyptian

Achievements. This is a good way of study.
