Why are holes in roads called pot holes?

An uneven foundation or repeated loads will sometimes cause a small crack. Then, rain water will get into the crack. If the water freezes or evaporates, it will expand and cause more damage. Also, repeated loading of vehicles driving on cracks will deteriorate the road even more.

If you mean Egypt, then there was an increase in the power of Nomearchs. Nomearchs were the equivalent to middle age nobility. This led to a decrease in the power of pharaohs.

Does anybody else hate History as much as you do?

I used to like it before 7th grade, then it got to complicated. But everyone needs History so we don't repeat it. Because we do not want to be repeating everything our fallen ancestors did. And that's why history is important for all of us to learn and understand. History might not be the most interesting subject for you. But it is required for schools and for America. If you think about it what would happen if someone makes a huge mistake, that has already been repeated in history? And it could have been avoided? That's why everyone should learn history because who likes repeating mistakes?
