Egypt by Advaith Vuppala
Here are some interesting facts about Egypt. Egypt has 130 pyramids. Most of these pyramids were built by Pharaohs. Surprisingly, the pyramid of Khufu in Giza weighs as much as 16 Empire State Buildings. The Egyptian alphabet had more than 700 hieroglyphics. Cats were considered a sacred animal by ancient Egyptians. Finally, the Egyptians played a game called Senet. In Senet, sticks were used as dice to count how many squares you get to move your pieces. Now, what interesting things do you know about Africa?

Interesting it seems that the Egyptians were amazing builders and writers. It’s amazing that they have a written language of about 700 “letters”. Did you know that the Pyramid of Giza is one of the largest pyramid ever built? Also did you know that the blocks of the pyramids are so close that you can slip a butter knife between them they also they didn't use any wheels. How do you think they did it?
