Post a brief (approx. 250 word) message addressing one of the following questions.
The Nile is Not Just a River in Egypt. Older World History textbooks often treated ancient Egypt as a society that developed on its own, in isolation from other parts of the world, but more and more evidence points to Egypt as a "crossroads" civilization.
In what ways was ancient Egypt influenced by contact with people from outside -- from Africa and Southwest Asia (the Middle East)?
What kinds of relationships did the people of ancient Egypt have with the outside world?
