 * ===Unit Overview=== ||
 * ** We all come from various cultural backgrounds that have been affected by change. Imagine a world of powerful rulers and breath-taking architecture, of technological innovation and political turmoil. An example of this kind of world is Egypt. Ancient Egyptians built one of the earliest and most sophisticated civilizations in early human history. With the establishment of agriculture and farming, Egyptians began building great cities, where Pharaohs owned all property and had enormous pyramids built for them when they moved on to the afterlife. Fast forward thousands of years to today, where Egyptians recently rose up against their president to demand greater democracy. The Egyptians have as much to tell us about their culture as your own culture has to tell you. ** ||

Students will understand that Egypt has gone through many developmental changes throughout the course of history.
