Egypt was a magical place, or at least its people thought so! Each 20 years, The Nile rises like magic!! YAY!! And your farm land is drowned. boo Oh right, do you think to get a 10/20 years off? No chance! Each time that happens, the The Pharaoh 
wants you to (drum roll) make this in 10 years!!!:
How? With 4,000 non busy people wandering around, It's easy to get recruits!

                          Stone Quarry
    
                             Designers
                    
                               Movers

#Q.P.!# Quick update on my knowedge.

The tundra is a land that's plentiful in a lot of stuff, such as fur, gold, life cycles, mountains, food chains, feathers(Lots!) And more!


This is the same as

 Lot of trees,deer,bears foxes,voles,animals are the plenty there! And there's also so many
this!
plants! So in the (un)simple world of a tundra, The world there is Eat or be Eaten, or that is at least what the food chain thinks! Its right ,too!
