Day 6. The valley of the Nile
During the summer, the valley of the Nile was converted in a shallow lake and later, when the water receded the pastures were covered with the most fertile clay. This is why, many years ago, people from Asia, the desert and Africa flocked this place. Wherever food was plentiful, people went.
The river along with a complicated system of irrigation made the work of thousand men, allowing the people from the first large city about we have any record to be feeded.
As these people did not have to work, they spent their leisure to philosophize about their existence (arising the first priests).
Priests started to philosophize about the hereafter and finally, the "Remi" (this is how the race formed by the foreigns called itself) and the Egyptians began to consider life as a short preparation to join the realm of Isis and Osiris. They turned the teeming valley in a land devote to the death.
In a strange way, they thought that the soul could not go in the realm of Osiris without the body so, when a person died, the relatives soaked him in natron and later, filled the body with pitch (the Egyptian's word for pitch was Mummiai and this is why the embalmed body was called Mummy).
They dug the graves in rocks, but as Egypstians moved northway, they had to built the cementeries in the desert. To avoid unholy desecrations to rob the jewels of the Mummy etc., people started to build mounds of stones over the graves. It became in a competition and the winner was the King Khufu who built the Pyramids.

Day 5. Hyerogriphics or why we are able to exchanges languages because of the Egyptian people
The civilization and people of the valley of the Nile were developed much early than people of the European wilderness.
This African people have taught people of the rest of the world many useful things like irrigation, how to farmer, how to build temples (which were the base of the first temples of the Greeks and the first churches). However, the biggest present they gave to the human race was the knowledge to preserve the speech for the future generations. They invented the art of writting.
When Romans went to Egypt, they found the country full of these incriptions but they did not inquired about their origin because they were not interested in anything foreign. However, years later, Bonaparte, travelled to Egypt in order to attack the British colonies. He did not get beyond Egypt, but there, a young French man found the Rosetta stone which had writtings in three languages and two of them were hyerogriphics and the Greek language which was totally known.
Decipher these hyerogriphics took a lot of years because it was very different to the paintings that our old ancestors drawn in caves about buffalos and other animals. It is because, these hyerogriphics were the first phonetic writings in which the characters represents a sound.

Day 4. The Prehistoric Man. They start to think
Prehistoric people did know what time meant but they kept track of the seasons. He knew that the mild spring was followed by the hot summer and with it, the ripening of the fruits. Later with the fall, gust of wind swept the leaves and finally, the animals hibernaled in the winter.
However, in a particular moment, the hot summer seemed not to come. Starving and lean people from the peaks of the mountains started to go down in search of food. Suddenly, it began to snow and the days became shorter and colder.
Due to this situation, plants died and the animals ran away from the cold weather to the southern places. Prehistoric man hoisted his children and tryed to follow those animals, however, he was not so fast, so he had to choise between think or die.
This is how, the glaciad period which threatened the existence of the human race, was the greatest teacher of the prehistoric people. It taught the prehistoric people how to hunt animals to use their skins for clothing themselves, how to invent tools, how to use the fire, how to rob the house of other animals...

Day 3. Our earliest ancestors
We do not have too much information about our earliest ancestors. All the information that we have is due to the anthropologists, those men who have devoted their lives to study the role of the men in the animal kingdom and who has reconstructed our ancestors from some bones found in the deepest clay.
This first man was an ugly and small mammal, his skin was couloured in a dark brown, his fingers were long and strong like the fingers of a monkey and his jaw was strong to be used as fork and knife when he ate raw food, because he did not know the fire. He wore no clothes and his entire body was covered by a dark and coarse hair.
At night, he hid his wife and childrens in any hollow of a tree or behind a heavy boundarie because he was prowled by many ferocious animals. He must eat or be eaten.
These days, living was a hard task. Who broke himself a bone or sprained an ankle, probably died.

When do you use this structure?
Sometimes in English you say, for example:
- I have lost the bus
- It DOES happen
I don't understand the function of "DOES" there, I guess it is to put emphasis but I am not sure. Could you help me?

Day 2. The setting of the state
It is curious to think how life started and how the process of development until nowadays has been.
After the formation of the oceans, the first cell drifted aimlessly, boosted by the nature forces, for millions of years.
Some cells preferred to be on the depths of the oceans where they took roots, other development jointed legs like scorpions and the others became in fishes.
At one point, the entire ocean was covered by plants and some of them left their comfortable in the depths situation to try to survive in the thin atmosphere, becoming, with the years, in shurb and high trees.
The same was done by the fishes who learned how to breathe with lungs as good as they had done with gills. This is how amphibians appeared.
Some of these amphibians transformed in reptiles, and those little cells who had been drifted amidst the water of the ocean for millions of years had been converted in huge Megalosaurus.
But suddenly, in a short period of time, those big reptiles died, maybe due to a climate change but the reason is not clear. However, every cloud has a silver lining, and mammals who were reptiles that instead of oviposit carried the egg inside their body arised after this weird extintion.
