Bored ME!!! >>Egypt Rawkx<<

I'm so bored... I'm left hoem alone!! Nothing too do rather then go on9, watch tv, blog, study n go tuition!!

I had nothing to do so i wuz digging my racks full of books and i found a book on ANCIENT EGYPT!! Well i had neva seen it, which wuz so weird as i luved too read about Egypt!! I actually wanted to go there n i still want to!! Only prob!! Dad dun wanna bring me go!

Well back to the book... It wuz so interesting u noe! First wuz about the country Egypt!! All bout it it's map n so on!! Egypt is situated in sum part of Africa!! Then it wuz about it's people the Egyptians!! They used too be farmers.

Egypt was mostly a sandy desert, where nothing grows.. But the smart Egyptians settled on the banks of the river Nile where plenty of water was situated there for themselves and the crops they wanted to plant!!

I also found out tis... Egyptians usually built tombs for dead kings on the river's western bank, where the Sun sets as they believed that their kings went to meet the Sun God(Re) when they died.

Next wuz about who ruled Egypt! These rulers were called pharaoh!! These pharaoh's were very powerful kings... people thought that they were god on Earth. Even these pharaoh's had advisors called Honoured Ones. They even had royal officals whom had grand names such as Director of Royal Dress abd the Keeper of the Royal Wigs.

Wat a name?? U call dat grand?? hehehahehahehahehe...lolx..
Anywayz then there suz sum stuff about a famous pharaoh called Hatshepsut!! I kinda pronounced it like Hept-she-sut!! hahahaha Well she kinda wuz asked too rule Egypt for her nephew whom wuz too young but since she loved ruling she ruled until her nephew turned 30!! pity him...

Then came the god part!!
Sebek,water god(d crocodile god)
Thoth, god of learning
Taweret, goddess of childbirth and babies
Osiris, god of death
Isis, wife of Osiris
goddess Nut, goddess of heavens and wuz covered wif stars. She wuz married to Geb and Isis and Osiris were their children!!
wat a family tree....

well ancient Egyptians worshipped 2,000 gods n goddesses!!
Then the mummy burrying part!!
How they do it!! n so on...
Mummies were brainless. I mean they thought dat brains were useless so while preparin a mummy they took out the mummies brain by pullin it throught the nose!! Imagine dat!! eihwwww.... gross....

the the Scarab....
pratically a lucky charm...
as the scarab beetle was sacred to the Sun God(Re) i wan 1!!

den it wuz d usual one why were pyramids built!!
For tombs 4 d dead pharaohs!!
Den bout all d traps built bcz of tomb robbers...

D structure of a pyramid n wats in it!!
Den about how Egyptian farmers love mud.

They grow So many stuff!
like juicy grapes and fresh green vegetables.....
not forgettin golden ears of wheat and barley too were grown!!

the quickest route wuz d Nile river!! Boats wuz made from river reeds or wood. the other way wuz if u knew how to swim and liked crocodiles.
imagine dat?? i wun go near d crocodiles at all!! but i like swimming!!!

roofs wuz the best spot in an Egyptian house.. it wuz cooler den indoors, especially under a canopy. bricks are made out of mud!! their made wif peoples feet!! And a lil' of straw and reeds 2 make d mixture firmer.

Egyptians also made bread... Only prob wif their feet!! Hopefully they washed their feet first.. They also use d same feet method to make wine!! not forgettin d delicious cakes, ring doughnuts, pyramid-shaped buns and crocodile lookin breads....

Tutankhamun became a pharaoh when he wuz 12 years old. he loved playin a board game called senet, dat when he died they even buried a board with him in his tomb. It wuz a beautiful set, made of white ivory and black woodcalled ebony.

well there's more but i'm kinda in a hurry so i'll not write anymore bout d book i read or Ancient Egypt!! well gotta go dat's all bout Egypt for now!! toodles
