In class today, we took some time to look at Egypt on Google Earth. Students were able to see some of the geographic features which make it unique including the deserts to the east and west of the lush Nile River Valley. It is obvious how important the Nile River is to the region and that is exactly what the first essential question of the unit is all about. Feel free to log on to the wiki and comment on that question as well as the first five vocabulary words.Tomorrow we will read a bit about the geography of the region from our text and extend the discussion a little further. If you have any questions about Egypt, the Nile, or the Middle East (in general) feel free to post a question on here or ask me in class.
Have a good night!

Did the Nile River split the Lower Nubia and the Upper Nubia?
@Jasiah - Not exactly... Upper Nubia and Lower Nubia are not separated by the Nile. Because the Nile runs vertically and Nubia is separated horizontally that wouldn't be possible. Ask me in class on Monday if you don't understand what I mean.
