        <div><strong><em>"Egypt is “the gift of the Nile"</em></strong><em>-&nbsp;</em><strong>Herodotus</strong></div><div>Since I was younger I love everything related to Egypt, maybe because of the pyramids, the treasures, or maybe the gigantic buildings. But anyways, something is sure:&nbsp;<strong>the Nile</strong>&nbsp;was and still is a vital part of life for the Egyptians.</div><div>This idea is my way to thank this great country for all it gives not only to my but all the world, focusing me on the people who lived there a long time ago, people who are commonly forgotten in history.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>What includes</strong></div><div>The number of pieces in this set is 1546.</div><ul><li>This idea includes a farmer, a guard, a seller, two children, a royal servant, and the queen(7).</li><li>The animals are a cat, a chicken, a crocodile, a monkey, and a bird.</li></ul><div><br></div><div><strong>A picture from the past</strong></div><div>This idea consists of three parts: an Egyptian house(according to historical reconstructions), a market with some buildings like an obelisk and a gate, and the royal boat, where the queen can travel down the Nile to visit her kingdom. For the river´s coast, I added plants to recreate the life that grows around the Nile, especially the papyrus plant, really important to Egyptians.</div><div>Animals are another important part I implemented in this idea: cats were very important to eliminate rats and they were considered sacred. Monkeys were a very popular pet for Egyptians, even being mummified and buried with their owners; crocodiles were sacred animals too.</div><div>I think this idea can be a great set because it is a way to appreciate our history and the number of minifigures and pieces promotes creativity and improves gameplay.</div><div><br></div>
