Egyptian Song

As I walk through the desert where my pyramids are built
I take at my life and realize it’s very good

And that’s just great for a pharaoh like me
You know, I shun jews who think that their god is real

And I've been whippin' and rulin' so long that
Even Nefertari thinks that my mind has gone
I'm a man of the law, I’m into sacrifice
Got a Staff in one hand and a scepter in da’ other
But if I finish all of my jobs before day’s end
Then tonight we're gonna party like it’s the afta-life

I've been spending most my life
Ruling an Egyptian paradise
I've played boat games once or twice
Ruling an Egyptian paradise

It's hard work and sacrifice
Ruling an Egyptian paradise
We sell carpets for few pounds
Ruling an Egyptian paradise

There's no heat, or conditioning
Rulin an Egyptian paradise

I’ve been spending most my life
Ruling an Egyptian paradise
There's no time for silly games
Ruling an Egyptian paradise
I chose my fights with all my might
Ruling an Egyptian paradise


Hitchin' up the horses, whippin' lots of slave
Raise a ‘mid on Monday, soon I'll raise another
Think you're really rich? Well you have a glitch?
Cause, I know I'm a million times more richer than you
I'm the best guy the little coptics wanna be
On my knees day and night scorin' points for the afterlife
So don't be crazy or even lazy
Or else, my hebrew, I might have to call the guards on your dairy


I've been spending most my life
Ruling an Egyptian paradise
We're all ruthless misr'ites
Ruling an Egyptian paradise

There's no rest or jeeests

Ruling an Egyptian paradise

You'd probably think it bites
Ruling an Egyptian paradise


AaaaaAaaaaAaaaaaAaaaaaa
AaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaaa
AaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaa yeah!

Human Geography

Essay

            The transition of hunter-gatherers to farmers really is the turning point in civilization. When people started to learn that you can plant crops, harvest them, and store them, they found that they did not have to worry about where their next meal was from. Long ago the hunter-gatherers had to wake up and go search for food. The women would often gather berries that they knew would not make them sick. They would also go and get things like sago, which is from the center of a tree. The main problem with this is that they had to do a lot of work for such a little surplus of food.

            The hunters would then o and try to kill an animal so that they would provide food. Now there are many problems with hunting as opposed to farming. In hunting you are not guaranteed an animal every time you go out to hunt. Farming, on the other hand allows you to receive food regularly. The moment people started to understand how they get food and how long it takes for something to grow is when their civilization will start to grow.

            People of the Fertile Crescent began to realize this with the crops they had and began to domesticate them. To domesticate a crop means that you can harvest and plant it to fit the needs of humans. People of the Fertile Crescent began to domesticate plants like wheat, barley, and rice. All three of these crops are fairly easy to grow and they can be harvested in a short amount of time. The New Guineans, who had none of these crops, had to rely on crops like taro root and sago. These not only take very long to grow and harvest, but they are low in protein unlike wheat, barley, and rice. As more people realized that they could farm as opposed to hunting and gathering they found their civilization expand in many ways.

• Real growth rate is 34th in the world
• Almost half their military is females

People of the Fertile Crescent

The people in the fertile crescent were geographically lucky because they had he best crops in the ancient world. The people of the fertile crescent began to learn how to make limestone which will lead to forging steel. With the new plaster they learned to make people began to plaster their home so that they would be able to stay in their house longer. Also, because people did not have to worry about food they could learn other abilities. The people of the fertile crescent began to learn how to make limestone which will eventually lead to forging steel. Within one thousand years people of the fertile crescent left because they over-exploited the land which cause it to become a desert. Entire communities had to move on  to new lands. Farming moved roughly at the am latitude which mens that they areas had the same time of day and the same types of agriculture. The crops of the fertile crescent began to feed thousands. Modern day farming would have never happened without the spread of the fertile crescent's crops. The people of New Guinea were set back so much because they simply did not have the materials needed to develop a country. The whole answer Jared Diamond had found is that some people have more cargo because of the geography of their area.

Domestication

Humans began to domesticate animals and control when they ate or when they gave them food. Goats and sheep were the first animals to be domesticated. Some of the reasons that people developed faster was because of the animals and plants around them. The only muscle power in New Guinea is the human power. They could not domesticate pigs which was the main animal around them.The best animals to domesticate are large plant eating mammals. The fourteen domesticated animals are goats, sheep, pigs, cows, horses, donkeys, two kinds of camels, reindeer, yaks, water buffalo,  llamas, mythans, bali cattle.
