Water was a vital part of the civilization..
Egypt was commonly called 'the black land' in Ancient Egypt because of the dark soil deposited by the Nile floodwaters.

Pharaoh's were the kings and their reigns stretched between 3000 BC and 30 BC.
The Egyptian government imposed taxes for different purposes on its people. Because there was no form of currency during that period, taxes were paid in produce or work, depending on the person craft or duty. Every person from every house was expected to pay labor tax by doing public work for a few weeks in a year such as digging canals or mining. However, a rich noble could hire a poorer man to do his tax.
Egypt had the famous hieroglyphic writing system; the earliest known in the world.
Egyptian priests and magicians would use magic and spells, until the introduction of Christianity.
