Today we went over our tests from Guns, germs, and steel. i got an 89. We reviewed all the answers for when we have an exam. We have a test on Egypt on Friday. It involves modern and ancient parts of Egypt. I'm really confused what exactly it is on. I really enjoyed all we did this section like writing a wrap, and building a pyramid, and doing the power point slide. I would like to learn about Greece next. I like learning about Alexander the Great.

today we talked to sarah in class and got an idea of what is going on in Egypt. She went to college at American university of Cairo. She wants to be a writer. Her dad was a newspaper writer. Her mother was also a newspaper writer. She gave her opinion on the revolt, and who should come to power next. She liked the Muslim brotherhood. We asked various question like how her family felt on the removal of power, and how facebook affected the revolt. This really gave me a better information source, because it was direct not rewritten.

A few thousand years ago in the land of sand,
came a smooth ruler Tut with a master plan.
Gonna build some tombs and monuments like none before,
gonna use lots of workers,
thirty thousand or more.

When the Nile was flooded,
they shipped the stone.
And every time they moved them,
there were broken bones.
Some workers might have been women but we're not for sure,
Some worked just for the pharaoh,
they went to local villages for more.

chorus: 2x

Polish stones broken bones
built the pyramids for the Pharaohs bones.

Architects and Priests
did some work too,
they laid it all out
for the others to do.

They squared up the temples
on just the right site,
to line up with sacred constellations
that they could see at night.

chorus: 2x

Polish stones and broken bones

built the pyramids for the Pharaohs bones.

Imagine 4,000 pound stones of limestone grand,

polished just right and moved through the sand.

Pushed up ramps and laid just right

fitting just perfect ,no machines, just might.

Gonna build them tall and straight

not to the left of right,

using ropes to align the summit

keeping the peak in sight.

Can't believe they did it with no technology,

I once saw a show that said aliens could have helped, you see?

chorus: 2x

Polish stones and broken bones

built the pyramids for the Pharaohs bones.

In the land of Giza,

in old Egypt.

Lays a sick rock carving,

that's nobody's crypt.

Carved from the Giza plateau in the forth dynasty,

It's one of Khafre's things lining up with his pyramid you can still see.

It has the body of a lion,

and the head of a king,

there no longer is a nose on this giant thing.

It was once a giant monument of stone, not sticks.

If you ask me how old, i say four-six-three-six.

chorus: 2x

Polish stones and broken bones

built the pyramids for the Pharaohs bones.

Now we're back to Tut, he was called the boy king.

He was Pharaoh for just nine years,

and then there was his killing.

In the 18th dynasty is when he ruled.

He might of been just a kid, but don't be fooled.

He had big ideas and lots of land,

and we still study his work in the land of sand.

His full name was Tutankhamun discovered by Carter and Herbert,

they shortened it to Tut just like Herb for Herbert.

chorus 2x

today in class you explained how your daughter got lime disease. They had to give her a spinal tap, and you explained how at home you have to give her medicine from a tube sticking out of her chest. Since she was sick you missed Tuesday and wednesday. You did not grade our papers because of her sickness.then we got into work when me and zach finished our projects. We presented and didnt do very well, but then brad came and saved us. He did an excellent job describing the pyramids, hieroglyphics, and the history of ancient egypt.

today in class we worked with out new groups on a powerpoint. My partner was Zach, and we researched King Tut, the Sphinx, and some miscellaneous facts. We are doing a powerpoint slide show presentation. So far we have 4 slides. Mr Blair substituted our first mod and then Mr Miller stepped in.I must say Mr Blair is pretty chill, and is a total bro. Along with Mr. Miller he seemed like an interesting guy. It was prob my favorite class today because i love working on powerpoint slide shows. Vinny taught me today that aliens made the pyramids.
