I was in a slump. On what to do for the next few hundred years… I apologize. Please review, and I apologize for my terrible writing and inability to be pleased at anything I do.

The Egypt siblings are tired. Building pyramids takes extreme effort not found in any other civilization. Oh, and Indus has some ideas in his weird messed up head, which he annoys everyone with. Also, as an extra, this chapter may have a small cameo or nor (Okay, it WILL, why would I type this up if there wasn't?)

2820 BCE. Thebes, Egypt.

Another hard day building pyramids.

Upper Nile rested on the elegant block of marble she had carved for herself, which was covered with a golden sheet, embroidered with hieroglyphs and letters. She quietly sighed, finally resting her head on the hard, but warm surface.

"Another 15,000 stones today..." She quietly thought to herself. "When will that damn pyramid be finished already! She shook her head, and tried to go to sleep. And where will I get those rare limestone bricks?"

She tried to close her eyes, but the sun was still out, yet she couldn't move her feet and arms. Another three days of continuous work. It was a never ending task, after the first pyramid was built, another one would have to be constructed, always bigger.

She remembered her last meeting. She was once again, in a giant stone palace, and she was facing her own boss, titled dude, or Pharaoh in her language. "Hello Upper N! I need you to build another pyramid for me M'kay!" The pharaoh ordered.

Her face morphed into a mixture of anger and… anger. "Like what the Hell! I just built two others just now!" She yelled.

"Numbers?" suddenly, something came to his head. "What a good idea! Make my tomb way cooler, and build like a bunch of pyramids near my pyramid!"

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"And make those other pyramids small, while mine is really big! In fact… you should put the small pyramids right next to my pyramid to make mine look bigger. There should be an order in which they appear! Here's the order; big, medium, small, small, medium, small, small, small, small, small, medium, small, mine, small, medium, small…"

Suddenly, real life knocked her from her daydream. Her older brother called her name, and suddenly, the door opened, and her brother, NOT Kush, but the Upper Nile walked in. He spent no time dawdling, and quietly said; "Indus is here to see you."

Lower N. painfully got up, and set foot on the ground. As she touched the cold hard ground, she felt like thousands of needles punctured her very feet.

"Tell him I'm… coming." She stated.

Upper Nile looked at her, and gave her a look of pity.

Soon, she managed to struggle to the door and open the door to meet Indus.

Indus's face glowed instantly. "Great it's Upper N! I discovered something I think all of you should know!"

"All of us?" She looked around, but found absolutely nothing. "But it's just me-"

"I discovered this great technological discovery!" He began jumping up and down, shaking the very ground.

She rolled her eyes, but managed to smile."What is it?"

"Water moves down on sloped surfaces!"

She rolled her eyes, and quietly bubbled up her impatience.

"So cool right?" He asked.

"That's… great." She retorted. She kept her smile on her face, but it quietly wavered.

"That's so great!" He yelled, then suddenly, ran all the way back to the Indus.

"Listen, come back when you discover something useful!" She cheerfully shouted.

She suddenly slammed the door.

One day later, same time, outside the house.

She stumbled outside, lamenting how she would have to clean the floors again, due to all the blood stains. She sighed. "What have you discovered this time?"

"So cool! Everyone hear this! Round objects move down hill!"

She smiled again. "Listen."

"What?"

"I've got something to show you. You can come with me."

"Awesome!"

A few minutes later.

"This is awesome! L.N.!" Indus was attached to a giant wood arrow. "What are you gonna shoot?"

Her eye twinkled. In the blink of a second, she launched Indus all the way to Mesopotamia. "See Ya sucker go tell everything to Sumer!" And then she waved to Indus.

"Whee!" Indus cheered as he soared through the sky.

Egyptians were skilled in archery, and this was reflected in everything; military focus, when they first adopted it, even their deities were at times portrayed as archers.

A few days later. Ur, Sumer.

Sumer was once again in his room, bored out of his mind. He hadn't done anything for a while now, and his brother was on an expedition to the Caucuses for foreign soil. He was beginning to take that dig your way to China challenge seriously, but then Indus fell through his roof, landing on the stone table.

The table cracked into a million pieces, collapsing under the force of such a fall.

"Ack! How'd you do that?" He then stared up, looking at the giant hole in his roof.

"Listen, listen! Round objects move downhill!" Indus exclaimed.

Sumer quietly stared at him, and actually thought for his dear friend.

"Hmm… round surface… round…" he thought. He then looked up to the stone roof. Stone. "Stone… Surface…" Suddenly, the light bulb came on in his head.

During the Ancient era, Sumer became a center of technological advancements that revolutionalized the world, like the wheel, monarchy, Tupperware… sorry. And Harappa became a center of innovation, having baths, sewers, and complex irrigation systems .

Sorry for the hiatus and well… everything. Curse you essays…
