I learned about Egypt in the video, The Ten Commandments, that we watched during humanities. I learned in what conditions slaves worked. They could hardly drink, they couldn't stop working, or they'd get whipped, and they could only eat when the director of the building site authorized them. The slaves were Hebrews. If you were born Hebrew, then your destiny was to be a slave.
I learn about Ramses before he was king. How he competed Moses to be pharaoh.
And mostly, I learned about Moses. I didn't know that he almost got pharaoh. I didn't know he wasn't raised by his mother, she had to abandon him because the pharaoh had ordered to kill any male Hebrew baby. There was a prophecy that said that a Hebrew would destroy Egypt. So the mother put him in a basket and let the Nile chose where he'd go. The pharaoh's wife found him and raised him like if he had Ramses' brother. He was a prince. And when he discovered he was a Hebrew, he became a slave without anyone telling him to be one. Then he got captured by Ramses who sent him in the desert with just some water.
During the second part of the movie we learned more about slavery in Egypt, how slaves were treated. I learned more about Moses. I saw how a family rescued him when he was in the desert. I learned about how the pharaoh could do whatever he wanted. We saw how Moses heard god and went to help his people, who were slaves. We saw how god destroyed Egypt. How magic stick who transformed into a cobra and fought 2 cobras of the pharaoh and won. How he colored the Nile red with the same stick. How he killed the son of the pharaoh after the Ramses ordered to kill his son.

Nice job analyzing the movie. And reading more books is a terrific goal. Reading is one of the most powerful things you can do to be a smarter person.
