Egypt

All of Egyptian cities are close to the nile because it is their life source. they worships many animals. a lot of their sculpture is tied in with their architecture. they write through pictures, they do not advance a lot through the ages because they do not like to acknowledge other cultures. through time their writing on walls becomes only a little more advanced-it is imbedded in the picture more to give more depth. they are fixated on death and life after death. their greatest architecture left behind are the tombs built for pharaohs for in the next life and it will have many of their possessions so that the pharaoh is happy in the next life. the tombs don't need entrances because the ghost can still come and go.

the key that translated all egyptian was the rossetta stone.
