They sent them to Godhood.  think pyramids, big statues, mummies.  Those were memorials.  Often pharoahs were buried with a host of servants to serve them in the after life.

The early date for the exodus has been placed at 1450 BC  with Pharoah Ramses as the pharoah of the exodus (this is the more orthodox date), but the late date has been placed at 1250 BC with I believe Ahkenaten as the pharoah.

It was Eratosthenes.  He measured the exact distance between Syene in southern Egypt and Alexandria. He measured the altitude of the noontime sun in both locations and found it was 0 degrees in Syene and 7 degress in Alexandria.  Using the difference in zenith angle and geometry, he could estimate the circumference of the earth.

Um,let's see. The Nile River, which I believe begins at Lake Victoria in Africa, every year had a "flood" (from melting snows in the mountains around the lake) in which the river would literally overflow flooding the surrounding areas which then created a "season" or "seasons " of planting and harvesting (I do have a point, hang on). This "cycle", if you will, eventually evolved and created the civilization of the Egytians whose economy, religion, societal regulations and the royal hierarchy form of government. Because of the development of this birth/death/rebirth concept of religion (if I am incorrect here someone kindly correct me) which evolved due to the above-mentioned river flooding (birth), planting (death) and harvesting (re-birth), the Egyptian religion and philosophy was one of "you CAN take it with you" because if your heart was "judged" to be "good" indicated by the symbol of a feather (paraphrasing for space issues here) you crossed over into the "underworld" of the god "Anubis". So, many of the pharoahs (kings), their relatives, and other 'high society' types were buried with not only their physical belongings but also with their "slaves" or servants and gold and money and anything they would need to live in the afterworld.\nNow, if you're still with me, according to the Time/Life "Great Ages of Man" "Ancient Egypt" book, many of the gods of Egypt were associated with the animals who lived in the areas around the river. If you look at some of the gods of Egypt, there are many with heads of animals:i.e. Horus with the head of a bird, Anubis with the jackal head and Thoth with both an ibis and a baboon head, to name a few. This is one way in which the environment had a direct impact on the Egyptians and their lives, deaths and especially their monuments such as the pyramids and burial temples in the Valley of the Kings. Because the weather of that general area of the world is and was hot and arid(dry)the temples and monuments of the Egyptian kings and queens took advantage of the heat to build such monuments as the pyramids (again,someone correct me if I am wrong)! The Nile river and it's relationship to the burial sites of the Egyptians was one of total involvement and influence. Everything about the Egyptians revolved around the river which literally created their civilization.\nI hope this helped.\nAlso: I have just read a news report this week(source unknown) that the waters which have and do supply the Nile river's life-giving waters since the record of human existence in that area will dry up in approximately 20 years!! This is a serious concern because this will have a worldwide impact on the earth and its living inhabitants! I don't know whom to contact about dealing with this problem immediately, but if anyone does, kindly let me and everyone else know!!

The first African civilization after Egypt was built by an Egyptianized people who lived between the Nile River's first and third cataracts and spoke Nilo-Saharan languages. This region around the first cataract, called Nubia, had been conquered and colonized by Egypt in the fourth millenium BC. Because of this, Egyptian civilization diffused southward and a new African kingdom was built up in the floodplain around the Nile's third cataract: the Kush. Their capital city was Kerma and it served as the major trading center for goods travelling north from the southern regions of Africa. \n\n   Kush attained its greatest power and cultural energy between 1700 and 1500 BC during the Third Intermediate period in Egypt. The domination of Egypt by the Hyksos allowed Kush to come out from under the hegemony of Egypt and flower as a culture; this period ended, however, when the New Kingdom kings, having thrown the Hyksos out of Egypt, reconquered Kush and brought it under Egyptian colonial rule. \n\n   However, when the New Kingdom collapsed in 1000 BC, Kush again arose as a major power by conquering all of Nubia. The conquest of upper Nubia, which had been in the hands of the Egyptians since the fourth millenium, gave to Kush wealthy gold mines. \n\n   Following the reassertion of Kushite independence in 1000 BC, the Kushites moved their capital city farther up the Nile to Napata. The Kushites by and large considered themselves to be Egyptians and the proper inheritors of the pharoanic titles and tradition. They organized their society along Egyptian lines, assumed all the Egyptian royal titles, and their architecture and art was based on Egyptian architectural and artistic models. Their pyramids were smaller and steeper and they introduced other innovations as well, but the Napatan culture does not on the surface appear much different than Egyptian culture. \n\n   The Kushites even invaded and conquered Egypt in a magnificent irony of history. The Napatan kings formed the twenty-fifth pharaonic dyansty in the eighth century; this dynasty came to an end with the Assyrian invasion of Egypt in the seventh century BC.

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, with the Pharos of Alexandria, is medieval in origin. Antipater's list had the walls of Babylon rather than the lighthouse. In alphabetical order, they are:\n\n1. Colossus of Rhodes — a huge statue of Helios, sculpted c. 292–280 BC by Chures, in present Greece. \n\n2. Hanging Gardens of Babylon — built by Nebuchadnezzar II, c. 8th–6th century BC, in present Iraq. \n\n3. Mausoleum of Halicarnassus — tomb of Mausolus, the Persian satrap of Caria, built c. 353–351 BC, at Halicarnassus, present Bodrum, Turkey. \n\n4. Pharos of Alexandria — lighthouse built c. 270 BC on Pharos island near Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy II by Greek architect Sostratus, in present Egypt. \n\n5. Pyramids of Giza — serving as tombs for the Egyptian pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, in present Egypt. Built during Egypt's 4th dynasty (c. 2575–ca 2465 BC) \n\n6. Statue of Zeus — at Olympia, carved by the Greek sculptor Phidias, c. 457 BC in present Greece. \n\n7. Temple of Artemis — 550 BC, at Ephesus, present Turkey. \n\n\nTwo of each of the wonders were within the territories of today's Egypt, Greece, and Turkey, and one in Iraq. The only surviving wonder is the first built, the Pyramids of Giza. The wonder with the shortest life span was the Colossus of Rhodes, which kept its erect posture for only 56 years before being brought down by an earthquake. There is some controversy as to whether the Hanging Gardens of Babylon ever in fact existed.\n\n---\nWelcome to y! answers. \nDo rate answers if you like them!\nHappy Asking!\n---

Prophet Joseph = (1674-1553 BCE) Hyksos (1630-1521bc) but he was not called Pharaoh. He was called King at that time. The word Pharoah was later adopted by the ruler during the NEW Kingdom (1552-1069) (This is because the ruler of Egypt was called a Pharaoh only from this period onwards)\n\nProphet Moses = The period during which Moses apparently lived was the third or fourth quarter of the 13th cent. BCE; accordingly, Ramses II or Merneptah was the Pharaoh of the Exodus.[41] (This date is also endorsed by The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia)

I believe the very first record of monotheism occurred in ancient Egypt under the Pharaoh Akhnaten in Amarna.  He declared that all must worship only the Aten - the solar disk - and he ordered all other deities destroyed and no one was allowed to worship any but Aten.  This was a short-lived movement, ending with Akhnaten's death.\n\nZoroastrianism is usually considered a dualism, but in some ways it resembles monotheism, and it is quite old.  It was the Persian religion at least by the time of the Persian empire, but its roots go back much further to the Prophet Zoroaster, or Zarathustra.  He taught that there is one Great God, the Wise Lord, called Ahura Mazda.  But there is also a Satan-like figure, Ahriman who is evil and is in battle with Ahura Mazda, but in the end, it is good that will win out.\n\nOf course, Judaism is well known as an early Monotheistic religion.  But originally, Judaism is better described as "henotheistic" which means that while the Israelites themselves only worshiped one God, they believed in the existence of other gods, that would be worshiped by other nations.  The real advent of true Monotheism did not begin in Israel until probably the time of the Prophets, starting from around 700 and really taking form by 500 BCE.
