4 Look at these pictures before you read. Which of them shows America before the arrival of Europeans; Ancient Greece; Ancient Egypt? Then read the text and say which of the countries is described in it. How do you know?
This country still exists today, but it was different many years ago. Its society was very advanced even by today’s standards.
Agriculture was a very important part of the economy.
Wheat and millet were grown in the fields and exported to other countries. For example, agricultural products were exchanged for wood, leather, gold and ivory. These materials were used in industry, which was highly developed, too, and jewellery, ceramics and cloth were all made in this country.
Many monuments built at that time are famous even today. Millions of people visit them every year. Some of the monuments were only discovered at the beginning of the 20th century.
Animals were raised in this country, too, and some animals were considered to be gods. For example, there was a god called Horus with a falcon head; Thoth, who was an ibis (a type of bird); Bastet, who was a cat; and Apis, a bull.
