Change and continuity in Ancient Egypt

The River Nile remained the heart of the civilisation and was always highly important for the fertility it brought. The pharaohs ruled throughout this time, but where and how they were buried changed over time. While beliefs about the afterlife stayed the same, the methods of preserving bodies became very advanced over time. Detailed hieroglyphs were used throughout, but gradually were used less and usually just for religious writings. A good description of how much things stayed the same will use knowledge from throughout this unit.
