Essential Question: What were the major developments of the ancient Egyptian world?
Answer: Some of the major developments of the ancient Egyptian world include the great pyramids, the Egyptian hieroglyphics, many statues, rulers etc. The Egyptians created many things that amaze the modern world. The period comprises two phases, the 11th Dynasty, which ruled from Thebes and the 12th Dynasty onward which was centered around el-Lisht. These two dynasties were originally considered to be the full extent of this unified kingdom, but historians now consider the 13th Dynasty to at least partially belong to the Middle Kingdom. The Old Kingdom collapsed due to famine and loss of confidence in the central government, restoration of which gave birth to the Middle Kingdom. Egyptian rule extended to Syria as well as South into Nubia. The concept of Maat, justice or morality including the Pharaoh’s obligation to safeguard this, gained in significance during this era since the collapse of the Old Kingdom was blamed on its neglect, although climate change had been a major factor. The Middle Kingdom is considered to the “golden age” due to its rich literary, architectural and scientific legacy.
The exchange of envoys can be considered a major development because trading envoys might lead to peace between ancient Egypt and other countries. Envoys are people who speak for a country, so envoys help make treaties. That would help ancient Egypt by making their armies stronger and have one less enemy.

Khufu was the Pharaoh who created the sphinx, a great ancient Egyptian wonder.
The ancient Egyptians who built the pyramids moved massive stone blocks across the desert by wetting the sand in front of a contraption built to pull the heavy objects, according to a new study. After the first level of blocks are in place, the workers build ramps of mud brick, limestone chips, and clay. Then, workers would drag the large stones up the ramps to build the next level of the pyramid. To add on, most people started building pyramids when the flooding season began because the flooding supported sturdy mud, which was better to build with.
