Motto- Heart, do not deny me to Osiris. Spare me in the innocence of the judgement and send my soul to the afterlife. (translate to hieroglyphics.)























http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f4/C%2BB-Nile-Hapi.PNG This is the link to the picture of H'apy because we need a picture of the pharaoh's favorite god. One of the objects that the Pharaoh can bring is a pyramid because they built pyramids during the old kingdom and a pyramid is a symbol of healing and mysticism. Also, the pharaoh can bring a scarab because the two main gods during that kingdom were H'apy and Re, so it would show that he honors Re. The sun is there everyday to grow crops, by Egyptian theory that Re carries the ball of fire(scarab) across the sky. The crown that represents upper and lower Egypt can be another object, since upper and lower were together and that would should that the pharaoh ruled this great land. I was thinking that the crown should be on the outside on the head of the coffin. I think we should __#|start__ writing the eulogy. That is the longest piece of writing for this. We will have two periods tomorrow to actually work on the Sarcophagus, so we should __#|start__ to write this on our own time. In the eulogy we need to include, all the facts from the old kingdom. It will have to demonstrate knowledge of the time period, including the social structure, political and military structure, urban focus, and economic (__#|surplus__, trade, food supply) of Egypt. Then when we present our eulogy at our burial site, I think it should be at the Great Pyramids since they were built in the Old Kingdom. Also we need to create the deity, or the other symbol right? Should we use an animal? How about a beaver? Beavers are known for building their dams. and our pharaoh was during the time period where many of the great structures were built.

Eulogy Ideas: Came up with basin irrigation idea. Praised the Nile. Loves animals. Observes beaver making a dam and learns how to do it.. Another teaches him to build ( he builds a pyramid) I feel like he shouldn't be __#|friends__ with the beaver, but that he LEARNS from observing the ways of the beaver. That works I don't care I just felt like I needed to write something.

alright let me __#|start__ writing the eulogy

Alright so here's the first __#|line__.

We are gathered here today to mourn the death of pharaoh Ziannourry. He lived a life strongly believing in the Egyptian god, H' apy. He took advantage of water, from H'apy, and invented the basin water system. He learned how to build the water system by watching the beaver build his dam. This building technique also helped later in his lifetime, constructing the Sphinx and the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Tell me what you think so far.^^

Eulogy

We are gathered here today to mourn the death of Pharaoh Zianourry. He lived a powerful life in the Old Kingdom. He accomplished many things throughout his lifetime and was highly respected by all. He lived from 2700 B.C. to 2675 B.C. he was most remembered for leading his army, building the Great Pyramids of Giza, and constructing the Sphinx.

Zianourry wore the double crown of Egypt because he ruled over all the land. His army was made of slaves and peasants but they were strong, because of his new ideas and tactics. He adapted enemy weapons and technologies and led a powerhouse army. Pharaoh Zianourry’s word became law and everyone listened to him. Government officials came to him with new ideas, hoping that their supreme ruler would approve them.

The social structure in the Old Kingdom always had the Pharaoh on top. Viziers and government officials worked for the Pharaoh and came after him on the social pyramid. Zianourry always listened to his viziers and ruled with a firm hand. Next in the pyramid came nobles and priests, which Zianourry often confronted them about how to please the gods. Scribes came next and they would write down all the laws that Zianourry decreed. Soldiers would fight in Zianourry’s army. Farmers and peasants also respected Zianourry, and unlike other pharaohs, he respected them and made sure to make laws fair for them also.

Zianourry wanted to build a large temple for himself so he could please the gods in the afterlife. He instructed architects and viziers to make a plan to build three large pyramids and a Sphinx. They made the plans immediately and then hired farmers, artisans, and peasants to build them. The construction took 20 years and they used copper tools, rocks, rope, a wooden sled, and brick ramps to build them. They used limestone to complete the construction. After construction, Zianourry spent his days watching a large beaver build his dam. After learning the ways of the beaver, he used the same techniques to create a water basin system that helped with irrigation. Zianourry was also gifted in the field of trade. He traded with many other countries which help to get important resources for Egypt. The most important trade was trading for the limestone used to build the Pyramids.

Zianourry and the Old Kingdom believed in many gods. They believed in two main gods H’apy and Re. Zianourry highly respected H’apy and prayed to him to bring water and fertile soil to the land. Another important god that he believed in was Osiris, god of the Underworld. Zianourry was embalmed which is a process to help him to reach the Afterlife. We are here to place his sarcophagus in the tomb and pray that he will be accepted into the Underworld ( written by all of us, I don't know why the last paragraph is a different font ) May Osiris have mercy on his soul, leading him a wondrous world in the afterlife.

Great eulogy guys. Now we will also perform the ceremony of the mouth. I'll get to researching that right now. All of my research on it will go below.

My mouth is opened by Ptah,My mouth's [|bonds] are loosed by my city-god.Thoth has come fully equipped with spells,He looses the bonds of Seth from my mouth.Atum has given me my hands,They are placed as guardians. My mouth is given to me,My mouth is opened by Ptah,With that chisel of metalWith which he opened the mouth of the gods.I am Sekhmet-Wadjet who dwells in the west of [|heaven],I am Sahyt among the souls of On.(Found on wikipedia don't know if it helps or not.)

= Well I couldn't really find anything useful. It was mostly things we couldn't recreate. Very.... Exotic and weird ritual/ceremony. =
