Technology IntegrationRationaleAncient Egypt is a very important civilization for everyone to learn about. It is considered to be one of the birthplaces of modern civilization because of its many achievements in math, science, and architecture. Ancient Egyptian history is very old and dates back to before even Ancient Greece, because of this it will be necessary to incorporate technology to gain information about the ancient civilization which no longer exists today.
