Egyptian Art
: http://www.emory.edu/CARLOS/COLLECTION/EGYPT/
Emory University
The first great civilization of Africa arose along the northern
stretch of the River Nile,
where it cuts through desert terrain between the Red Sea to the east and the Sahara
Desert to the west, before the waters spread out into a great delta and run into the
Mediterranean Sea. Without the river, the land that we know as Egypt would not exist,
for there is too little rainfall to support life.

Hi, I'm Rosetta Stone and I'll be your guide for this site. We have a
lot of cool things
for you to do here, from pages to color to making a cutout figure of a Pharaoh. We even

There are a lot of other things to learn - like what they did to make mummies and how they
built the pyramids.
