Introduction to Ancient History

    Welcome! I'm The History Buff, and I've always had a love for history. From the very beginning, I have found it interesting and fun to learn about. Even though I really love history, many others my age don't. I think the reason for that is how we learn this subject in school. As a student and teenager myself, I know how much this subject can bore us in school. It's all writing notes, memorizing dates, and taking tests. Here though, I will post interesting and factual information at the same time. Of course, you also won't have the pressure of completing tests and assignments. Rather, you can read and enjoy my content any time you like. If you don't like history and just need help with an assignment, this content is for you, and if you want to learn about a specific topic for fun,  the content I post is for you as well. Whether you need information for school or for recreation my posts are here for the taking. Even though I will begin from the very beginning of the Ancient Times with Ancient Egypt in 3100 B.C.E and finish Ancient Times with the fall of Rome in 476 A.D don't feel obligated to read through everything. Just pick what you find interesting. I hope my blog will satisfy your needs whether it be for school or for fun and I believe that with time even people who don't like history will come to love it as they read my blog. With that being said I hope you have a blessed and safe day and hopefully I will see you on the next post!

Most Famous Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt

       Hey there, I hope you’re doing well! Last post , we ended on who the pharaohs actually were. Today, I will give insight on some of the most renowned pharaohs of the ancient world. With that being said let’s talk about them! Tutankhamen(Tut)       This is a Pharaoh whom you may have already heard of. What made him so famous was that he took rule of all of Egypt at the age of 9! The other main reason of why he was so known was because his tomb(we will talk more about the pyramids and mummification in a later post) was one of the best tombs preserved of the time. So archeologists could study his face really well. Furthermore, it was not only his body that was preserved well, the treasures and artifacts in his tomb were too. From this one piece of history, archeologists were able to find out so much about that time period. Unfortunately, his time as Pharoah was short-lived. He died at 19 years old at around 1324 B.C and only ruled for 9 years.  Ramses II There is one main reason why

Ancient Egypt(P2): Irrigation and the First Villages

Image
            Hey there! Welcome back to The Historical Musings. Today we will be moving into part two of ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt part one was about how nomads turned into farmers and the Fertile Crescent(to learn more click here ). Now, we will talk about a brand new invention that the ancient Egyptians made and the very first towns. The Irrigation System         First, we must talk about what irrigation even means. Irrigation means a supply of water that goes into land or crops to help grow.  The early farmers had started to make fields of grain for them to harvest. The problem was that the fields needed a lot of water for them to flourish. The land near the rivers was damp enough to do the job but farther away the land was dry for most of the year. So what the farmers did was they learned how to dig canals from the rivers and out into their crops. These canals could reach land however far and dry they were . This irrigation system is still used today! Although, now there are huge

Ancient Egypt(P4) The Nile River and the Geography of Upper and Lower Egypt

Image
            Hey there! Welcome back to The Historical Musings. Today we will be getting into a slightly confusing part of ancient Egypt so if you don't understand something read it thoroughly again and if you still don't understand, just comment and I'll make sure to reply. Our topics of the day will be the Nile River and the geography of Upper and Lower Egypt. With that being said let's get started! Geography of the Nile Delta            The Nile river stretches through many parts of Africa and right through Egypt. It starts from the mountains in the south to the Mediterranean Sea in the north. However, before it reaches the Mediterranean, it splits into many little rivers that then run into the Sea. These little rivers together, shape an upside-down triangle. In Greek, the letter delta is also shaped like a triangle, so this segment of the river became known as the Nile Delta (the name is in Greek because it was a Greek historian who first defined that part of the Nil
