Egyptian Culture
It has
always been a subject of curiosity. Thanks to movies such as Indiana Jones, and
The Mummy, this curiosity has gotten even bigger. In fact, Egyptian
civilization was one of the oldest civilizations that flourished in the ancient
world. Located in the desert area around the Nile valley, it could survive for
as long as 3000 years. Under the rule of the pharaohs, Egypt saw phases of
immense prosperity, which is evident even today from the many material remains.
Imposing monumental edifices sprang up all over the place, and boasted not only
of the artistic sensibilities of the ancient people but also of their
technological advancement. They were flourishing in every aspect of culture,
including art, architecture, religion, literature, and so on. A prominent
aspect on which an ancient Egyptian mind seems to have made its mark was the
invention of a writing system – the hieroglyphs. Besides, nowadays the Egyptian
mummies have a lot to offer to the development of modern medicine. This is due
to the fact, that the mummies are basically human bodies that have been
preserved for a long period of time. These bodies are a source of ancient human
tissue, the study of which helps in understanding the changes that have been
brought about in a human body over the years. It also helps to understand the
kinds of diseases that the people suffered from, their causes and treatments.Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage?
