There are many things that I admired about the Egyptians. First most I admire their resourcefulness. They used their environment to their advantage despite living in a desert they managed to survive and make pottery, build houses and etc despite their limited resources. I also admire their art and jewelry. The Egyptian sculptures and other forms of art were very beautiful and creative. The monuments they built were very grand and a lot of work was put into them. I also admire how they treated women in society. Although women were not given work they were still very important as they helped in making decisions of men and how they taught the children. It is also interesting how they let a woman become a momentary ruler when the true heir was unable or to young to rule. They Egyptians contributed a lot in history and I admire them for that.
Good observation Adam, their resourcefulness helped them control their environment and use their natural resources to their advantage.
