    Ancient Egypt had a complex polytheistic religious system centered around pharaohs that lasted over 3,000 years. Public works like roads, canals, and temples were constructed, often using slave labor, to aid with irrigation, trade, transportation, and worship. Egyptians also developed hieroglyphic writing, using small pictures to represent things, which was primarily used by priests despite being learned by many. Cities of varying sizes existed along the Nile River, the major ones being capital cities like Thinis, Memphis, Thebes, and Alexandria, located there for trading and access to water.
