EGYPT TODAY
Egypt started 5,000 years ago, and lasted for over 3,000 years, longer than most other civilizations in the world's history. It lies between Africa and the Middle East. This ancient country holds a history of over 6,000 years. The Pyramids, the Sphinx, the tomb of young King Tut are just a few pyramids built to bury thre rich and the royal.. The majority of the population in Egypt lives in an area along the Nile River called the Nile Valley and the Nile Delta. As a result, many places in this region are extremely crowded, with several thousand persons per square kilometer.

About half of the population of the Nile Delta are fellahin (pronounced fel-uh-heen), or peasants--either small landowners or laborers--living on the produce of the land.

One point to make...
I just came back from Egypt(spring break), and I think your essay is pretty good. I just have one thing to say.
