Extra Credit!!
Ancient Egypt was somewhat different in terms
of climate from what we see in northeastern Africa today. See if you can
find information on climactic changes, desertification, or wildlife population
changes between around 5000BCE and the present day. Credit will be awarded
on the basis of information content and relevance.
