Just because it's the Rameseum you expect his name all over the place, and it is all over the place, but not in the list. The other three names are important because they were used there to denote the first dynastic names of each major kingdom division, old kingdom, middle kingdom and new kingdom. A classification used thereafter.<br /><br />3) sphinx was old kingdom, not the dynasties before that. Earliest writing does not mention it in predynastic and protodynastic periods.<br /><br /><br />5) palermo palette depicts the king smiting an enemy, and in a form used thereafter for thousands of years all over the place, but not a Mesopotamian enemy.<br /><br /><br />6) Egyptian historians were quite cross with Hatshepsut for acting like a man, wearing men’s clothes, false beard, calling herself king instead of queen. It offended everyone, the court, the clergy, the army and navy, nobility, so when she died they bashed out her name all over everything, in monuments and documents, furniture, everything. Much like Hillary Clinton. It wasn’t so much that she was female, rather, that she pissed off everyone for being so brazen.<br /><br />7) Valley of the Kings is Middle Kingdom<br /><br />8) Israelites, really now, sounded like some kind of joke. All the others did rule Egypt.<br /><br />9) Cleopatra VII, to be exact.<br /><br />10) It’s the tomb for the scorpion king, not for Menes. <br /><br />Ta-daaah *takes a boyish bow* <br /><br />I like this class because it has a lot of pictures.<br />Chip Ahoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597726289890879627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-16893966843820803462016-10-31T21:16:48.542-04:002016-10-31T21:16:48.542-04:00Hey!

I just now listened to 10 videos on an Egyptian course through Penn state, took my first exam and aced it. Truth is, it was easy and only 10 questions. So it's not like there were 100 questions and I got all 100 right.<br /><br />Want to see the questions? Okay, here they are. See for yourself how easy.<br /><br />* 1) On the wall of the Rameseum, ancient Egyptians recorded the names of their pharaohs. This kinglist singled out three kings who began each of the three major kingdoms. Which of the following is NOT one of these three rulers?<br /><br />Menes<br /><br />X Ramses the Great<br /><br />Nebhepetre Montuhotep II<br /><br />Ahmose<br /><br />* 2) Which of the following statements is true about Manetho?<br /><br />X Manetho was an Egyptian priest who compiled a history and chronology of ancient Egypt at the request of King Ptolemy II.<br /><br />Manetho based his work on temple archives, so that it is totally accurate.<br /><br />Manetho was an Egyptian scribe who wrote his history in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.<br /><br />Manetho grouped the ancient Egyptian kings into 35 dynasties.<br /><br />* 3) Which of the following monuments is NOT from the Predynastic or Early Dynastic Period?<br /><br />X The Great Sphinx<br /><br />The Hierakonpolis tomb painting<br /><br />Tomb U-J<br /><br />The Namer Palette<br /><br />* 4) Which of the following statement is true about the Middle Kingdom?<br /><br />The Egyptians moved the capital to Thebes, and all the Middle Kingdom kings ruled from that site.<br /><br />X The kings built fortresses on the southern border of the country for protection.<br /><br />The Middle Kingdoms kings defeated the Hyksos.<br /><br />All rulers of the Middle Kingdom stopped building pyramids.<br /><br />* 5) Which of the following statements is NOT true about this image?<br /><br />(palermo palette)<br /><br />The major figure is king Narmer, and this object may have been made to commemorate his unification of Egypt.<br /><br />X The king is depicted as the victor of a war against Mesopotamia.<br /><br />The king is depicted wearing the red crown on the recto (right side) and the white crown on the verso (left side).<br /><br />Palettes like this one were used for grinding cosmetics, but size, images, and inscriptions indicate this one was created for ceremonial purposes.Chip Ahoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597726289890879627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-67459573811460152062016-10-31T20:35:17.519-04:002016-10-31T20:35:17.519-04:00Chip, I found your comment electrifying.Chip, I found your comment electrifying.rcoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102201338319611538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-79133435608414895622016-10-31T20:22:20.530-04:002016-10-31T20:22:20.530-04:00Stop impeding their culture!Stop impeding their culture!The Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354536924604187137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-38254519290647576012016-10-31T20:14:44.019-04:002016-10-31T20:14:44.019-04:00Charged with battery.

I volt for stronger measures because these current affairs are shocking and these girls have very bad amplitudes. Either directly or alternately, law enforcement is going to have to amp up their efforts, for their approach falls short and these girls are not grounded. Someone should relay the message. Law enforcement need to stop being conductors and capacitors. Or be discharged. They really need to be put into a cell or electrocuted.
