Which were part of ancient egyptian civilization? choose all answers that are correct. a. permanently adopted monotheism b. made a kind of paper from reeds c. built pyramids as tombs for royalty d. developed a writing system not yet deciphered

Formal religious practice centered on the pharaoh, the rulers of Egypt, believed to possess a divine power by virtue of their position. The Egyptian religion was a complex system of polytheistic beliefs.

The papyrus of Egypt is associated with writing, in fact, the English word for "paper" comes from the word "papyrus".

The Egyptian pyramids are some of the most magnificent man-made structures in history. Their massive scale reflects the unique role that the pharaoh, or king, played in ancient Egyptian society.

The Egyptian writing called hieroglyphics used pictures to represent different objects, actions, sounds or ideas. There were more than  700 hieroglyphs. Some pictures stood for the whole words. Egyptians used to write on papyrus reed, which is a water or marsh plant, with tall straight hollow stems. These reeds were flattened, dried and stuck together to make pages.
