Lily- Red  Jayda- Blue   Laura- Purple

Alright guys let's get started!

I volunteer as tribute to sketch the sarcophagus! So that's what I got so far, I'll bring my notes and stuff home on 11/21/13 to more on Akhenaten.

Our pharaoh will be Akhenaton. His favorite god was Aten. Here are some links we can use to find out about Akhenaten and the New Kingdom.

[] Accomplishments of Akhenaten:
 * Closed many temples
 * Made egypt worship 1 god
 * Banned the worship of Amon
 * Fired all priests
 * Moved the    capital of egypt     from Thebes to a new city call Akhenaton

====Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today to commemorate the accomplishments of King Katutnaten. We are here today not to mourn a loss, but to celebrate a life. A life of a son, a husband, and most of all a pharaoh. King Katutnaten is cousins with King Akhenaten. King Katutnaten was great man, who lived from 1380 BC to now, 1334 BC. He had a different way of seeing things. He made it so that we only worship one god, Aten. Many disagreed with this, because worshipping many gods has always been the Egyptian way. All through the Old and Middle Kingdoms we have had many gods and goddesses. After Ahmose regained power from the Hyksos this was also the time when pharaoh became powerful again, after government officials taking over in the Middle Kingdom. The New Kingdom began much of the focus turned towards Amon-Re. That is until our his majesty Katutnaten rose to power. He then closed all the Amon-Re temples and made the only god Aten. No one was allowed to worship Amon anymore, because it was now band. Even though Aten was now the only god the Egyptians could worship, King Supyola himself was the only one able to converse with Aten. ==== ==== Another accomplishment of King Katutnaten was moving the capital from Thebes to a new city named Akhenaton. While there, he made the new capital a city. People of lower class like scribes and artisans came to his new capital. All the citizens farmed with plows and used shadufs to redirect water, like in all cities. Him and his wife, Nefertiti, made this new capital a beautiful city with art and buildings. Many paintings of his show our Nile River with animals and plants. It really was a new thing for art, the way he showed people doing everyday things. ==== ==== Even though a god, Katutnaten was humble and portrayed himself more human than other pharaohs. He also had himself drawn at the same level as everything else, unlike most pharaohs who were always higher. He is shown in scenes that were not considered very pharaoh-like such as sitting with his wife and family. ====
 * Political Structure     || Pharaohs regained power as apposed to the        Middle Kingdom        where Pharaohs had less power. ||
 * Art and Technology || Bows, spears, and chariots were used in war. Also, iron was bought and traded for weapon making. ||
 * Religion || Akhenaten closed many temples because he decided to only worship one god. The god was Aten. This was not seen as a       good thing        . Gods were usually based off the worries of their     everyday life      ||
 * Stable    Food Supply      || Shadufs were used in the New Kingdom along with the farming techniques we learned about. ||
 * Writing || Hieroglyphs were sacred writing and other more common forms were written on papyrus. (Egyptian paper) ||
 * Urban Focus || The Great Pyramids and the pharaohs ||
 * Social Structure     || The Egyptians knew where they all stood in society. Pharaohs, nobles, scribes, workers and slaves. Before new kingdom your class depended on your father, but when entering new kingdom they needed a better order. ||
