Brianna's+Egypt


 * __The Eulogy of Queen Adethalt__**

Adethalt was a fine and beloved pharaoh of Egypt, and we are here today to praise her achievements while she was pharaoh. She had less power than her ancestors in the Old Kingdom, because goevernment officials were jealous of the pharaohs for being so powerful and stripped them of their power. During her reign, she detested wars and violence. She liked to trade with foreign countries and always trade for the beautiful, yet mysterious objects. She was a very wise and fair queen. She believed in the owl god, Iseit, the God of Wisdom. When she had a phase of worry, she prayed to her for wisdom. Her favorite god was Bastet, the goddess in the form of a cat, representing music. She loved Bastet because she was very artistic and musical. She was always peaceful and fair towards her people. She shall be judged fairly by the scale, and will be given a new and pure life by the ankh. Amen-Re will help her come back to the world of the living. The kindness of her heart will make it lighter than the feather, and thus she will have a good afterlife living with Osiris and the offerings from her many temples, then descending back to our world when she is ready. We praise Queen Adethalt today at this funeral at the cliff side, and wish she will be judged fairly and will come back to the world of living, with a blessed and kind soul. - Hao - this is my eulogy, see which one is better. --- Nothing u say hints that she was from the middle kingdom. NOTHING!!!!!! There, now I do.

Can u print this Hao? Uh, the eulogy, I can take to school and print it cause I have it saved on my flashdrive. - Hao How are we supposed to present the sarcophugus? Do you want me to bring in anything? - Hao

Adithalt was a beloved pharaoh in Egypt. She had a wise reign of 65 years. She was fair and intelligent. She was also a deep believer of Iseit, the goddess in form of an owl; the goddess of wisdom. She was a very artistic queen. She approved of spending wealth on public works. Adithalt also believed in the goddess in form of a cat, Bastet. She believed this goddess because Bastet was the goddess of music, a form of art. She started trade with other countries because she liked trade and seeing objects from other countries. Although Adithalt didn't like wars, and was a joyous and peaceful leader, she had to get through some brutal battles because of the wars between the Hyksos and Egyptians. These were fought during the last ten years of her reign, when the Hyksos settled into Egypt. She was the last pharaoh from the Middle Kingdom, before the Hyksos ended this kingdom. In the end of her reign, Adithalt had one last request, to bring back pharaohs' old power back to Egypt. Once she died, she was buried at cliff like all the other pharaohs in the kingdom that was present during her reign.

-- this is my draft of the eulogy AL-- She did not know about the Hyksos yet, this is the Middle Kingdom, and the Hyksos ended the Middle Kingdom and started the period of time between the Middle and New Kingdoms, so Adethalt could not have agreed with the Hyksos about whatever, and she was Egyptian, so what is the point of saying that she used the same customs as the Egyptians did? Remember, this was BEFORE the Hyksos invaded Egypt - Hao Also, we need to figure out a way to present our sarcophugus, I think we should ask veryone in our class to be our mourners. - Hao She could not have been related with Hatshepsut, who was in the NEW kingdom. Al, your getting the Middle and New Kingdoms confused! In the middle kingdom, the pharaohs mostly did not do anything. They were buried in cliff side burials and had less power, and also traded with foreign countries, but that's about it. - Hao

Hey, i put the things that we decided on in italiciced writing

Ok guys we need to start quickly

We are doing the middle kingdom and basing our pharoh on Hapteshepsut

here are some things that we need to __research__

Right now, we need to discuss about the presentation and how we are going to write our eulogy. - Hao

for the presentation, im not going to be there but i have some ideas
 * have those canopic jars al was going to make out of clay should probably be decorated, you dont have to go crazy but maybe a symbol and a color!!!!!!!
 * we should hire a lot of proffesional morners for the funerals
 * we should dress in all black or all white
 * Al and Hao should take turns reading the eulogy

In 2300 the goverment officials got jealous of the pharoh's power and took it after new pharohs came in and straightened things out the pharohs has less power and wern't buried in pyramids anymore, the were buried in a tomb in the side of a cliff
