Persona: I am an explorer whose life is very adventurous. I have found this ancient journal and have deciphered the Egyptian hieroglyphs to discover a young Egyptian trip on the Nile, starting from Abu Simbel. Day 1 : I had just arrived at Abu Simbel. I was very eager about the boat trip I was about to go on, along the Nile. I had just woken up to see the sunrise. The magnificent sun shone its rays on the temple of Abu Simbel. I started enjoying the scenery. I opened my eyes to glance at the temples in front of us. Ramesses the 2nd must have taken a more then 500 men just to build this monument. The temple front reminded me of Mount Rushmore. Instead of five president’s faces, four colossal seated figures were carved into the side of the cliff, …show more content…
It took me quite a while but I made it in the end with some quick refreshing drinks of water. The temperature here was over 40C. But the worst thing was that the whole week was predicted to not rain. I met my sailor and my friendly tourists who will be accompanying me during the five days. The boats were called Feluccas. Ours had a white sail. It resembles a small yacht but equipped with a massive sail. The scenery on the Nile was extraordinary. Nile streams were calm at this time of year. The sea partly clear, small fishes could be seen, swimming frantically. I could see a catfish in the crowd. On the plains, I only had the chance to see a rhinoceros charging with others of its same kind, and a hippopotamus which was grazing on small green shoots of reeds sticking out of the water and creeping onto land. Talking about it, I remembered most of the plants that I saw were slow-growing plants like moss creeping out of the water. The sun was slowly starting to set, sinking past the horizon. The breeze changed directions and started to brush past my face. I set up my bed in the Feluccas and started to doze off uncomfortably. Day 2 : The boats had just reached the shores of Giza. The merciless sun reigned down its heat. I kept walking until I found shelter. I had the pyramid of Khufu in my sight aloing with all the other pyramids. One of the sailors of the other boat was right next to me, admiring the Pyamids.
The pharaoh was undoubtedly the most important terrestrial figure in ancient Egypt and played a significant role in the functioning of Egyptian society. Entrusted with governing the realm of Egypt and providing a link between the Egyptian people and the gods, pharaohs were “an essential element in the maintenance of the position of society in the order of creation”. This idea has been substantiated through the various artefacts located in tombs in the Valley of the Kings, particularly that of Tutankhamun. These finds have shed light on the role and lifestyle of the pharaoh in ancient Egypt. Through the discovery and analysis of these items, historians and archaeologists alike have been able to glean considerable amounts of information in
The work I chose to analyze was from a wall fragment from the tomb of Ameneemhet and wife Hemet called Mummy Case of Paankhenamun, found in the Art Institute of Chicago. The case of the Mummy Paankhenamun is one of the most exquisite pieces of art produced by the Egyptian people during the time before Christ. This coffin belonged to a man named Paankhenamun, which translates to “He Lives for Amun” (Hornblower & Spawforth 74). Paankhenamun was the doorkeeper of the temple of the god Amun, a position he inherited from his father.
As usual my day was terrific. Today's plan was to go to the very famous Giza Pyramids. It took about thirty minutes to get there but it was worth it. We went into all three pyramids and saw all the tombs. We also took a ton of pictures. While we were there this guy offered us to come on a camel ride with him and of course we did. We traveled around all three pyramids with camels and watched the sunset. It was another day that I will never forget.
The artworks of Ancient Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt are both strikingly different and similar at the same time. Consistent is the theme of serving the different gods the two cultures believed in. In Mesopotamia the various city-states each had their own protective deity, and in Egypt they sometimes differed from one dynasty to the next. Whatever the case, with the beginning of kingdoms and rulership came the need to justify a position of power and establish a hierarchy. And as more time passed came also the human need to leave an impression on their world. Looking at the example of the statues of Gudea from the Neo-Sumerian period and the Temple of Ramses II from the New Kingdom of Egypt in the 19th dynasty, will show how both rulers of
Explain the distribution of power in Old Kingdom Egypt and the first intermediate period, the social, political, and economic reasons for the constructors of pyramids, and Egyptian belief concerning the afterlife.

Apparently the best-known Mujahideen outside the Islamic world, different approximately adjusted Afghan restriction aggregates at first opposed the legislature of the Soviet Democratic Republic of Afghanistan (DRA) during the late 1970s. At the DRA's ask for, the Soviet Union conveyed powers into the nation to help the administration from 1979.

As fighting turned out to be more complex, outside support and provincial coordination developed. The essential units of
The history of the Middle East after the Second World War is full of myths, conspiracies, and crucial policy changes in many governments. One conspiracy that seems to stay unsolved until today is the overthrow of Mohammed Mossadegh, the former Prime Minister of Iran, by a cooperative coup between the British SIS (Secret Intelligence Service) and the US CIA (Central Intelligence Agency).1 This Event has still yet to completely unfold, even when the U.S openly admitted their involvement in 2000. Mossadegh was considered a radical and an enemy to Britain, but to many Iranians he was a hero who aimed for Iran’s independence from the foreign influence of Britain.

It is with great concern that I come to you on behalf of Mussie Eyob, an Eritrean Christian who is being detained in Me’etr prison. In February 2011, while living in Saudi Arabia, he was arrested for the "crime" of telling Muslims about his Christian faith. Then, after his deportation to Eritrea in November of the same year, he disappeared into the vast Eritrean prison system. Mussie Eyob is not a threat to the government or to any individual since his only "crime" is his belief in the Christian faith. In spite of that, he has been imprisoned since 2011.
When Libya’s Muammar Qadhafi came into power over 40 years ago, he has been seen as an international fugitive and his brutal eagerness to kill civilians that endanger his position has been clear for all to see. Yet, until the recent crisis, the West had been opening up to him and was keen to do (mostly oil and some arms) business with him — as they have been with various others in the region.
