Women were responsible for child rearing, domestic chores and enjoyed high honor as the source of life while men monopolized public authority. Aristocratic women could influence public affair and women merchant commonly traded at markets. Sometimes women organized all female military unit. All this was possible for women because Islam did little to curtail women’s opportunities in sub-Suharan Africa. People assumed responsibilities and tasks appropriate to their age grades.Age formed tight circles of friends and,later allies. Hope that helped!❤️

Explain the different ways that the Egyptians have found to adapt to their environment and allowed them to remain successful for
Alexxx [7]

Explanation:

There was annual flooding, which was vital to agriculture because it deposited a new layer of nutrient-rich soil each year. In years when the Nile did not flood, the nutrient level in the soil was seriously depleted, and the chance of food shortages increased greatly. Food supplies had political effects, as well, and periods of drought probably contributed to the decline of Egyptian political unity at the ends of both the Old and Middle Kingdoms. After political unification, divine kingship, or the idea that a political ruler held his power by favor of a god or gods—or that he was a living incarnation of a god—became firmly established in Egypt. For example, in the mythology that developed around unification, Narmer was portrayed as Horus, a god of Lower Egypt, where Narmer originally ruled. He conquered Set, a god of Upper Egypt. This mythologized version of actual political events added legitimacy to the king’s rule. The use of hieroglyphics—a form of writing that used images to express sounds and meanings—likely began in this period. As the Egyptian state grew in power and influence, it was better able to mobilize resources for large-scale projects and required better methods of record-keeping to organize and manage an increasingly large state. During the Middle Kingdom, Egyptians began to write literature, as well. Some writing was preserved on stone or clay, and some was preserved on papyrus, a paper-like product made from reed fiber. Papyrus is very fragile, but due to the hot and dry climate of Egypt, a few papyrus documents have survived. Hieroglyphic writing also became an important tool for historians studying ancient Egypt once it was translated in the early 1800s.
