help with opening paragraph on ancient egypt essay?

I’m writing an essay, and I already have part of the opening paragraph started. I can’t figure out what else to put in it. So far I have this.

Ancient Egypt was a time where many things were accomplished. Pyramids were built, tools were created, and paper was made. The Egyptians were very skilled people.

It’s just an opening paragraph, and that’s all I need help on, you don’t necessarily need to write me a paragraph, I really need ideas on what to write, though.
