There are just a few things we need to do:

*edit eulogy- we have a C so farr. Amelia needs to post it up. she has it.

2 centurys before first dynasty, pictorial writing formed. After, "signs" evolved from than pictures, therefore expressed ideas more fluently. "Signs" were classified like our alphabet. Hieroglyphic, Hieratic, Demotic and Coptic- different writting forms.

Death and Funerals
<span style="background-color: #e6d11e; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;">The Egyptians saw death as a transitional stage in the progress to a better life in the next world. They believed they could only reach their full potential after death. Each person was thought to have three souls, the "ka," the "ba," and the "akh." For these to function properly, it <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;">was considered essential for the body to survive intact. The entire civilization of Ancient Egypt was based on religion, and their beliefs were important to them. Their belief in the rebirth after death became their driving force behind their funeral practices. > <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;"> > <span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">**<span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;">Maat ** <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;"> > <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;"> > <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;">Central to Egyptian religion was 'Maat' - the rightful order of the universe, established by the gods at the beginning of time. Maat was crucial to human life and included ideas of truth, justice and moderation. > <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;"> > <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;">If Maat was lost, the country could experience chaos - 'Isfet'. Peaceful and prosperous years were credited to a strong presence of Maat, whereas years of civil unrest were blamed on Isfet. The <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">[|pharaoh] <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;"> was responsible for Maat. He was expected to control every part of Egyptian life. Although he had deputies to do some of the work, the buck stopped with him. He accepted praise when things went well, buytook the blame for bad years. Polytheism > And there were hundreds to choose from. Some were minor or local gods, while others were more important and much more powerful. > King of the Gods was Amen-Re, who came to prominence in Thebes during the New Kingdom. Both <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">[|Ahmose] <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;"> and Tuthmosis II credited him for their military victories and his influence increased over the following centuries. > <span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">**<span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;">Death and burial ** <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;"> > Egyptian culture attached a great deal of importance to burial rituals. The buildings, prayers and ceremonies were mainly designed to reflect the status of a person in life and help them keep their status in death. This is not surprising, given the hierarchical nature of Egyptian society. There were several important gods who had responsibilities relating to life and death. > For instance, Osiris was god both of fertility and the underworld, and his wife, Isis, was the goddess in charge of funeral rites. Anubis, often pictured with the head of a jackal, was the god of embalming and of burial places. In the underworld, he weighed the heart of a dead person to decide whether their good deeds during life outweighed the bad. Thoth, the god of wisdom and learning, was responsible for recording the names of those whose hearts had been weighed. > <span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">**<span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;">The sun god ** <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;"> > One other god was very important, if only briefly. Fed up with the power of the priests honoring Amen-Re, Pharaoh Amenhotep III switched attention to the minor sun god, Aten. > After his death, his son, Akenhaten, went much further and decreed that Aten was the only god, and later campaigned against all the other gods and religions. His monotheist approach was reversed by his son, Tutankhamen, who decreed that Egypt would return to its traditions and worship its old gods once more.
 * <span style="background-color: #e2d918; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 12px;">Unlike the major religions of future centuries, like Islam or Christianity, Egyptian religion did not bring a single set of beliefs. Egyptians were polytheists - they worshipped more than one god.

Though her departure has effected us all, Banafit will be truly missed.
==Realtive to Hykso pharaoh Ipepi, moking took place as a child. Torchered for her Greek customs, she took it to her advantage to become a well-rounded ruler. Found a tirant, Banafit had her reasons. When the construction of her father's tomb took place, Banafit merely a child. The powerful tombull of the pharaoh effected Banafit deeply. As her rise to the thrown grew known, Greeks poured in, as if pleading for a place to stay. Allowing this transaction, followed a period of grave memories returning of her childhood. Many Egyptians thought this wrong, and uncalled for. Threats of another Hykso loss were received. Until resolvation accured through trade of flax with the native Theban Dynastiy to the south. People concluded it helpful to become partners with Egyptian neighbors. With power in her hands once more, she created a great army, which further would protect her rein. Influencing Egypt with her ideas of simplifing writing, came to be helpful in months after her death. Trying to create peace and harmony amongst her people, equality seemed right. In a sense Communism was her goal. Slaves and peasant earned around the same amount of money as merchants or priests. Years went by, though the focas of Egyptian god, Seth, stayed intact. Though evil at times, Seth had good parts to him, similar to Banafit. It is believed that Banafits symbols are the croke and flare, due to the fact that she kept Egypt peasants from reproducing (most thought because she believed royaltiy should remain intact, but true reason being a hereditary dease was spreading-in which she was the first to realize). The Egyptian Ankh believed to stand for eternal life, in which was her goal, and Amenta, the symbol of the underworld, so she could pray to her relatives, seeking advice, are the symbols believed to describe Banafit. Cowincidently, Banafit died of a heart attack while builing her tomb at the age of 48. Willingly, her people continued until her magnificent tomb was complete.== ===**The life of Banafit was full of rector and chaos. She was once a lovely girl, but turned rogue. It was unfathomable when she passed, but research has proved otherwise. It is believed that Banafit lived from 1550 to 1502 BCE. Her reign will be remembered as vigorous,yet gory.**=== ==Now certain, as she lies here in this cold state, Banafit will join her relatives once more in the adventure into the afterlife. An everlasting life in the underworld as expected of this fallen pharaoh, will also be comenced with her Egyptian people.==

we need time and place of funeral*
