Notes On The ' Rise Ra Out Of The Horizon '

At the end of each section, it all ends the same, “take note of it!” as if to tell the Egyptian writing student that these are the things that they could be doing, to constantly remind them that they are lucky to have the job as a

In Ancient times written languages had been some of the tools that they used to communicate. “The designation ‘hieroglyphics’ is a Greek word; the Egyptians referred to their writing as medu-netjer ‘the god’s words’, as they believed writing had been given to them by the great god Thoth” (Mark). The Egyptians believed that hieroglyphics were given to them as a special gifts from their god. Another thing is that they used hieroglyphics to represent their

The seated scribe is 1’9” high and is made from limestone; it’s typical of an Egyptian sculpture in that it’s painted. He sits with perfect posture; cross legged, head facing forward, hand ready to write although his brush is missing. His eyes are a complex structure (I will go into further detail in page 3 paragraph 2). He wears a simple white cloth resembling what we might call a skirt.

Did you know that the there are different people in the pyramid like in the top there is a pharaoh and the second top is the government officials next is the priests after that is the scribes and that the artisans and at the end it is the peasants it is unfair for the peasants gust to build the pyramid and not live in it.

Exemplary Original Post 24 points: This is a wonderful post. Not only did you address all the discussion prompt questions but the Original Post was well organized and had rich detail. I especially liked "Its known that many pharaohs and high ranking officials would sometime have their servants depicted in some form of image or sculpture so that when they went to the afterlife they would able to utilize their skills to help them in their second life". This post shows that you understand the material and can synthesize the information well. I will caution against something like "the Seated Scribe was royal" as this might be a bit of a stretch. He would most certainly be part of the government working under the king or visar of Egypt, but be a scribe would not be a typical job for a royal. There could be many reasons he was shown in this position. Also, given that there is a lot more information to confirm he was indeed a script and, therefore, an important part of the government over being a royal. Also, I would like to see more of the post in your words instead of quotes, since I want to see how you would state something and your thoughts.

This paragraph will be analysing a primary source from the time of ancient Egypt. The source in particular is a painting made for Ramose, an Egyptian state administrator. He had this job during the reigns of the pharaohs Amenophis III and Akhenaten. His job was regarded very highly amongst ancient Egyptian society. This painting was made from the white limestone fond in the Valley of the Kings. The fine-grained rock that was the limestone permitted attractive decorations in full colour. It was made to decorate Ramose’s tomb and was probably painted by tomb decorators. It was probably created between 1000 BCE-1500 BCE. His tomb was in the Valley of the Kings amongst those of pharaohs, this suggests that

Our old Pharaoh, King Thutmose, is dead, the New Pharaoh Hatshepsut was a women. I had to find a way to recover, but I couldn’t find a way. That night I had an idea, King Thutmose’s tomb had lots of gold and silver, enough for life, but I didn’t know how to get it. It took about 2 suns, but I had made a plan, to rob King Thutmose’s tomb and escape Egypt and go to Babylonia. I knew that doing this I would have a miserable afterlife, but I still decided to do it.I knew that the pyramid was near the Nile river so I would use that to escape. I was forced to help build the pyramid, so I know where everything is, the trick will be getting past the Royal

Once towering, but now slowly crumbling pyramids grace the horizon, bejeweled and dusty royal mummies lay buried and forgotten by the sands of time, and mysterious and often strangely heroic murals intertwined with a scattering of hieroglyphics sprawl across the walls of tombs and temples alike. These are the only evidence left of a once vast empire that is rapidly falling into disrepair as its already decrepit state grows worse. However, the current state of ancient Egypt does not curb the curiosity of adventure seekers looking to peek into a diminished era; today, a multitude of onlookers wander through the glorious yet now empty tombs that once held ancient Egypt’s elite. Millions more in museums around the world peer through the glass enclosing the precious jewels, fragmented pottery and statues, and frayed and often threadbare garments that before adorned peasant and monarch alike. Nevertheless, it is the fascinating intricacies and myths surrounding pieces such as King Tut’s death mask and the statues of Rameses the Great that still grip one with awe and leave lingering unanswered questions behind. What was Egypt like during the reign of each of these age-old monarchs? Even more so, what traits and morals did each hold that wove legacies characterized with such vivid larger than life personas of each, yet above all else, how could one pharaoh inscribe his story in our hearts as to ensure an enduring image even after his death?

Before choosing to write my research paper over this structure, I had decided to write over the three pyramids. After reading the first chapter of the Ancient World, I was interested in finding out more about these three pyramids. I would learn about them in high school or hear something about them in books, movies and sometimes the History channel. I just thought they were three pyramids that were created as art. In which these pyramids were created as temple for the Kings Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaura. The pyramids were to protect the bodies and the items these kings needed for the afterlife. After exchanging a few words with my professor I decided to write over the Mortuary Temple Hatshepsut. It never caught my attention to write over this

(1) In 1801 a French boy named Jean Francis Champillion saw a copy of the Rosetta Stone. One of the most intriguing archaeology finds of all time. (2) Dug up by an Arab worker near the Nile, the strange shaped stone has three bands of writing carved across its highly, polished black surface. (3) One of them bands is written in the script of ancient Greece, another is written in the even ancient Egypt script called hieroglyphics. (4) It's true that many more has been written in Greek than hieroglyphics. (5) Still, there wasn't no one in the world who could read hieroglyphics at that time. (6) Champillion couldn't help dreaming that he would be the first. (7) Six years later, Champillion was the more promising young professor at the university

In each room there seemed to be different themes of what was shown on the reliefs. I was located on the east side of the inner court. On my reliefs there were pictures of my king accompanied by attendants engaging in activities that could be identified as pouring libations. I am now classified as slabs 7 and 8, I am 465 cm, and I am made of gypsum alabaster. On my front side is a low relief of my king, Ashurnasirpal II. He is wearing the royal crown, which is a conical cap with a small peak and a long diadem. He also holds a bow, which is a symbol of his authority, and a ceremonial bowl. Facing him is a eunuch, or a “beardless one”. He is carrying a fly whisk and a ladle for replenishing the royal vessel. The upper parts of the body are facing towards the viewer, while the legs, feet, arms, and face are shown from the side. These features, along with the shape of the eyes seem to resemble Egyptian art. There are distinct patterns in the beards and hair of the king and the attendant. Also, the muscles in the arms and legs are clearly defined within the relief. Both the king and the attendant are dressed in long robes, and are carrying swords at their sides. Both are also wearing earrings, and bands around their wrists and upper arms. Flowing across the middle of the relief is actual writing. This writing describes what is being shown on my relief. All of the reliefs in the palace had writing across them

In “Ancient Egypt”, there were many influential and powerful Pharaohs from Tutankhamun (c. 1341 BC- c. 1323 BC) to Cleopatra (69 BC- 10 or 12 August 30 BC). Although their methods of ruling over Ancient Egypt is dissimilar, there is one correlation. That correspondence is the monuments that signified their power and greatness. As I was reading about Ancient Egypt, I began to imagine myself as a pharaoh and contemplated, “If I were a pharaoh, what type of monument would I create to represent my greatness and power?” and “How will it be similar or different from other ancient Egyptian monuments?” Firstly, the type of monument I would construct would be a “Colossal Statue” of me. A “Colossal Statue,” is a three-dimensional sculpture that

The capacity to write is one of the hallmark activities that define humans. We developed a language of our own and then created a symbolic means by which to turn an auditory activity into one that could be deciphered by another sense: sight. This transformation reflects the developing complexity of our ancestors and species. What can we learn about the lives of ancient civilizations and people by looking at the archaeological evidence and analysis of the development of early writing methods? The answers to this questions lies in the uncovering of the past remains of our oldest deciphered evidence of writing: Cuneiform.

.When people decide to study and become an Egyptologist it is required for them to learn hieroglyphics, Egyptian hieroglyphics was one of the writing systems used in ancient Egypt, because of their illustrated way of writing , important Greeks believed that the Egyptian hieroglyphs were something sacred, so they referred to them as ‘holy writing’ this why the word hieroglyph comes from the Greek hiero ‘holy’ and glypho ‘writing’. But in the ancient Egyptian language, hieroglyphs were called medu netjer, ‘the god's’ words’ because it was believed that writing was an invention of the gods.The writing was composed of three basic types of signs logograms that represented the words, phonograms, representing the sounds, and determinatives, placed

Hieroglyphics have been around for hundreds of years, primarily in Egypt, where only some people knew how to read and write. Scribes were the only ones who knew how to read and write hieroglyphics which made them have a better lifestyle. Becoming a scribe could potentially give you a better job such as a noble, a doctor, and even a pharaoh. Horemheb is one pharaoh who started out as a scribe. Then the Greeks created the Phoenician script which is known as the first alphabet. Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin all have been influenced from Phoenician script. However, the Greeks were highly inspired by the Phoenician alphabet. The Greeks used the Phoenician alphabet to communicate better with other civilizations. There are many famous Greek writers, scholars, and historians that wrote stories which have been saved throughout the centuries. The famous Greek historian, Herodotus wrote nine books about the Greek wars with Persia. Chinese writing is one of the hardest and complicated writings out there, but it was much simpler in earlier times. In the late Neolithic period, during the Shang dynasty, their script had been just pictographs drawn very simply. Chinese characters can be found on oracle bones which helped predict the
