Maria's+Egypt

we are gonna put those answers to the questions for the egypt project here ill start it we can also brainstorm ideas until we decide on somthing- Maria 1. Describe It- What was the purpose behind the dvd? 2. Compare It- Comapre the King Tut mystery with somthing else. What is it similar to or different from? -I say we compare it to the game Clue. 3. Associate It- What do you associate Egyptian pharohs/mummification with? What does it make you think about? - I would asociate it withhhhh a cast cuz you wrap it and all so it reminds me of it. 4. Analyze It- Descibe the process taken to explain/disprove the King Tut curse. What steps were taken? What logic followed? 5. Apply it- What can you do with this information? How can you apply it today? 6. Argue for or Against It- Present an argument about the impact of technology and its ability to alter history. Should this technology continue to exist? OR Is technology harmful to historians/textbook companies/public? What role should technology and history play? - I think we should argue against it because its a stronger argument

okay umm what do we want to do? I was thinking of the name and i think Zuberibaniti is cool because it means strong teacher. Zuberi-strong baniti-teacher tell me if you like it - Maria

heres an idea eulogy: King Barry was a great and powerful king who lead his people through many years of peace and war. Under his rule his men dominated the battlefield and his villagers gathered bountiful harvests. The land prospered. The gods were pleased with his rule and helped him fight off many waves of attackers. Barry's favorite gods were Geb and Re, the gods of the earth(i think) and sun. He built obelisks for Re and shrines for Geb. His motto was "gold is power", as he collected vast amounts of the valuable metal ~David

-He went into a battle with Menes (Narmar) while he was trying to unify the Upper and Lower Kingdoms. The reason they started to fight was because Barry tried to assassinate him, so both kingdoms would not join. While fighting with primitive weapons Barry's legs got chopped off by a wagon that ran them over. His cat also died in this battle while trying to fight off Narmer's cats that were fighting. To show that he honored his cat, King Barry shaved off his eyebrows.Even though he tried, the kingdoms were united and King Barry was rushed to healers, but they could not help. When atlast his short life came to an end, they made a pyramid for him in the Valley of the Kings. It was not a great big pyramid but it was there and was called "The Gold Lair of Barry(or whatever his name is)". (needs more details i know, its late maybe tomorrow) ~Maria,King Barry (Any other ideas)

Yeah so he honored his cat and i like the idea of his cat fighting Narmar's cats. Someone should think of another motto, im thinking of doing a callaboration of famous qoutes. Menes can be related to barry and barry tried to assasinate him because he wanted to be the most powerful pharaoh in his family. Well Since Barry was a king who praised peace and happiness, one of his favorite gods should be Ma'at: the godess of truth, justice and harmony or Hathor: the godess of love and joy. he collected many valuable metals and stones which he used for weapons, decorations and shrines. Anyways i got some real egyptian guy names so pick one Thabit- strong Mudads-provider Masud- lucky Rashidi- wise Minkabh- justice Ngozi- blessed Onuris- brings back distant one ??????? Abasi- stern Akilabaniti- intelligent teacher Akilasim- intelligent protector Khalfani- shall rule Gyasioba- wonderful king ~ Rachel

I like the Akilabaniti one lets hear some guy point of veiws -Maria

Okay I'm making an online checklist for the things we need if we are still debating im putting an * next to it 1. 3 Egyptian Symbols- We have that its already on the sarcaphougus its the ankh, the snake Uraeus and the Eye of horus 2. Favorite God/Godess- Ra 3. Motto- We have one by David - Gold is Power 4. Deity- Golden Finch would represent the god of riches any contridictions? if not erase the asterik after we get some opinions 5. His name- Khalfani
 * 6. Based on- Khufu isnt it? he liked to rule and have power in gold and the throne anyone else with any ideas?

Yeah, the Golden Finch is fine but instead of riches we could say wealth and power Also King Barry or whoever made a large beautiful statue or shrine out of his finest metals to honor this king?- Rachel

Also I would put my vote on Geb since he is the god of Earth, and Earth provides metals and I would choose this god called **Amun** who was the most powerful god and thought of as the king of gods, anybody else? - Rachel

Heres where we write the good copy Eulogy and i'll have it printed for you guys okay? -Maria

umm ill try to wear black ill see what i find we could be the mourner people and cry alot and dont forget to step with your left foot first!!! After i put it into word ill find a place to divide it by 4 so we all have equal parts. Any volunteers to go first?- Maria
 * OH YEAH EVERYONE WE SHOULD ALL TRY TO WEAR BLACK ON MONDAY AND WE SHOULD GET MORE IDEAS FOR THE ACTUAL FUNERAL OR WHATEVER U CALL IT- RACHEL**

How about whatever we change we underline or something and oh hows this for a start and we really need to decide on the name- Rachel

I spelled check the below, it looks good, and the name can be whatever u guys want idc Oh and idk if its important but i read in a book of useless knowledge that Egyptians entered rooms left foot first cuz they thought it was lucky, can we use that somehow? And I think we should divide this up into separate parts 4 everyone Are we done? I'm printing it at 8:55 if anyone else makes changes after that then you have to print the evised version.


 * __~Eulogy~__**

Today is a day of sorrow because our great King Khalfani is being laid to rest. King Khalfani was a powerful Pharaoh and he was loved by his people. He led them through peace, as well as war, but they always triumphed when he was in control. Under his rule, his men dominated the battlefields and his villagers gathered bountiful harvests. The land prospered. The gods were very pleased with him so they helped fight off many waves of attackers. Kind Khalfani loved to collect gold and many other valuable metals.He was quite the artist and builder too, many of his sculptures are being buried with him and his shrines still stand. He believed having valuable possessions meant power, which in his case proved true. His mother picked his name very wisely. He was in line for the throne, after all. King Khalfani's name means "shall rule" and shall rule he will indeed. The very unfortunate day when King Khalfani died was the aftermath of a great war he had with his cousin Narmar. Narmar had unified the Upper and Lower Kingdoms, but King Khalfani didn't approve of what became of it twenty years later. He saw that people were struggling so he tried to assassinate Narmar for making these people suffer. Narmar soon realized this and declared war with his cousin Khalfani. They had very primitive weapons at first and people resorted to mostly hand-to-hand combat and any other sharp object in reach. A wagon carrying the injured men of Narmar's army ran over King Khalfani's legs while he was on the ground. He was rushed to healers but they could not help his legs. They got infected very badly so they amputated them and cut them off. During this battle, King Khalfani's cats had mutinied and escaped the area where they were contained in. They started fighting with the Narmar's cats. Sadly, his cats were suffering from infectious injuries and soon died. To show that he honored his cat, King Khalfani had his eyebrows shaved off. As hard as he tried to stop the villagers from struggling, the Kingdoms were not separated. A few years later, King Khalfani had another infectious disease from the result of his poorly amputated legs.. This time, the healers could not help him in any way. He suffered for quite some time with the disease but at least it was not terrible suffering, many people sent him gifts and prayers. When at last his short life came to an end, we, the mourners came here to tell all the wonderful things he tried to do for his people. There is a pyramid ready for him in the Valley of the Kings. It is not a very large pyramid because of how quickly he deceased but it is there. Since he loved gold so much, his people that were making the pyramid decided to name it "The Golden Lair of King Khalfani". O great king, rest in peace.
