The Egyptians everyday life were much different than ours.\n\nIn villages, peasants live in houses made of sun dried mud bricks. Their homes had only three rooms and some Egyptians had to live in tents. They would sleep on the roofs of their houses to stay cool.\n\n\nThese links will provide more information about Egypt:  \nhttp://www.egyptheart.org/\nhttp://neferchichi.com/

They have pyramids.\n\nCoach

IIRC, the current "best guess" of archaeologists and engineers is something like 20-30 years for the Great Pyramid.

I'm thinking of the Moorish architecture in Spain that was built in the Middle Ages.  They are the ones with domed ceilings and arched doorways.  Their architectural achievements were copied throughout Europe.\n\nSue

hard to say. i found lots of things in the desert. my husband is a geologist. if you mail me a picture, i will have him look at it.\nthere is lot of crystal stuff in egyptian deserts, most are worthless unless you enjoy it as decoration in your house. does it has a greenish tone in the bottom of the crystals? i have lots of them. it depends also where you found it. if it was near a roman settlement, it could be ancient glass, but if it scratch glass now, i doubt it. i found lots of this, but not this big of a piece, that would be uncommon. tell me more about it, maybe i can help you.\n\nsend me a picture...susuegypt@hotmail.com

Try Googling "Ancient Egyptian Astronomy". If you're looking for stuff that old, it may be hard to find. That's prehistory, so it's either unrecorded or still in translation - if they've uncovered anything on the subject.\n\nYou might also try National Geographic's website, and perhaps your local science museum may have something as well.

It was built by King Mausolous to house the remains of himself and his sister who was also his lover and wife.  The top had a pyramid shape, the middle i believe was colonnaded in the Greek style and the base was in the form of a Mesopotamian ziggurat. It  was also covered in statues representing the the Pantheon of Mediterranean and middle eastern deities.

The strong faith and believe of the people who used to live in that region. Historians say egyptiens, but believe me, egyptiens these days are not the same as the old egyptiens!!!!....\nSo i doubt its from the same transendence, the same blood...you know what i mean!\nProof of sarcofagus of the workers...\n\nMy other theory is Aliens, xtraterrestrial cosmic power who helped the people to build! \nProof of maya pyramid...(another mystery)\n\nits frustrating to go inside it though! Clostrophobic dark and tiny walking spaces!!!!

Nor inside ANY of the ancient egyptian monuments made prior to the Roman invasion in 52 B.C. The egyptians used another mechanism:Mirrors!\nYes they used a complicated system of mirrors to reflect the day light all the way inside the huge monuments they've built, which were siometimes several hundereds of feet high (like the pryamids, which aremore than 80 pyramids, the most famous of which,the biggest, but not the oldest, are the 3 giza pyramids) or far below the ground(tutemoses grave and other similarly fabulous graves in valley of the kings, or dug several meters deep inside solid granite mountains (like "Dir El Bahary" temple of hatshipsut)\nYes, as agatha christie said,they did it with mirrors :)

The techniques used to construct Egypt's pyramids are thought to have initially been developed by trial and error and then further evolved based on local economics, resources, and other considerations, over the thousand year pyramid-building phase of Egyptian civilization.\n\nRecently-discovered worker's tombs have shown how pyramids were made and how important workers were: the pyramid workers were paid craftsmen, not slaves, and they had their own city at Giza. Egyptologists also have presented several pieces of evidence showing this, including proof that many laborers worked on the Pyramids during periods of Nile flooding, and that contributing to the Pyramid construction was, religiously, a very good deed for them.\n\nDuring the earliest period, in the Third and Fourth Dynasties, pyramids were constructed wholly of stone. In the Fifth Dynasty the physical scale of pyramids was much reduced, and poor quality limestone replaced granite as the chief building material. In–filling with loose rubble was also used for the first time. This enabled pyramids to be built with fewer resources over much shorter periods.\n\nDuring the Middle Kingdom pyramid construction techniques changed again. Most pyramids built at this time were little more than mountains of mud brick encased in a veneer of polished limestone. In several cases, later pyramids were built on top of natural hills to further reduce the volume of material needed in their construction.\n\nParadoxically, the materials and methods of construction used in the earliest pyramids have ensured their survival in a generally much better state of preservation than is the case with the pyramid monuments of later pharaohs.

"How were the great pyramids of Egypt built?"\n\nVery, very carefully

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.

... some wild Eurasian cat species, possibly Felis silvestris.\nFelis silvestris libyca is the subspecies that currently inhabits north-east Africa, and the best candidate for domestication by egyptians.

About the same height as today -- look at the statues, the Greek, Roman, Egyptian. Heights vary with race and did they have good diets, etc. The societies that could do the art (statues) were well fed and their heights average about the same as today.
