Today in Mr. Schick’s Western Civilization class, Mr. Schick
was not in class today. I do not know where he was because I saw him earlier in
the day. Anyway, we met in Mrs. Smith’s room and we had her as our substitute
teacher. Our assignment was on Mr. Schick’s blog and it was to read pages 20-29
and take notes. In the reading, I recorded that in the Neolithic Age people of
the Nile River moved toward civilization because of the same influences that
benefitted the city of Sumer. Egyptian civilization became more stable that of
Mesopotamia. Political and sectional conflicts did not break up the country’s
unity. For many centuries foreign invasions were few and far between. Cultural
influences from abroad were welcomed or kept in arm’s length (as seemed best to
the literate elite). Traditions of the Egyptian Civilization were so strong
that they flourished even in the last thousand years.
