I'M BACK!! I was not in class on Wednesday or Thursday due to a family emergency, but I am back now so here are the CyberDay notes on Ancient Egypt:

Geography:

-Every July it floods and every October it leaves behind rich soil
-The delta is a broad, marshy triangular area of fertile soil
-Managing the river required technological breakthroughs in irrigation
