Race to Witch Mountain

Ok I saw a great movie last sunday it is called ''Race to Witch Mountain''.
It is about two alien kids that landed on earth to help their parents who were in trouble which you will find out what happened to them later in the movie. When they landed on earth, they got help from a taxi driver who is played by Dwayne Johnson and a scientist who is eager to help the aliens. The movie is based in Las Vegas Nevada. Oh there is some really funny scenes in the movie. I hope you like it

Egypt...part 3!!!!

Hi today we are going to the time machine . We are going to ancient Egypt!!!!!!!!!
First we are going to look at the gods of Egypt. First up is the king of the gods Amon-Re next is my favorite god Thoth then Isis and then Anubis and last but not least is the cat god Bastet who is the god for you if you like cats. Next is monuments. Does this look familiar? Right it is a obelisk like the Washington monument in D.C. There was so much more monuments that the Egyptians where famous for!

The Egyptians where also famous for mummys which are so interesting to study! I really want to say how mummys where made but it is so inappropriate on a blog!

Next is the tomb. there is so many things in tombs even toys some times there is nothing at all in tombs not even mummys! Egypt is a world of wonders

this is made for a king or per-aa. Kings where thought of as living gods they where so royal they where buried.

So that is all for now. Bye

Greece-part 2

Today I am doing a post about Greece and here is what look forward to knowing more about.
Ok here is a few facts. In 1687 the Venetians, under Francesco Morosini, attacked the Ottomans in Athens. The Acropolis had been made stronger by the Ottomans . The building was also used as a gunpowder store and when the Parthenon took a direct hit from a cannon fired by the Venetians from the Hill of Philopappus, the gunpowder exploded and destroyed a large part of the building. Morosini and his men soon plundered the building, looting what they could find and destroying the rest, leaving the partial ruins that can be seen today. I also want to know why the Acropolis was built.

Work began on the Parthenon, built on the Acropolis, in 447 BC to replace an existing temple which was destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC and cost 469 silver talents to build. The work began under the orders of Pericles to show the wealth and exuberance of Athenian power. The name of the building most likely came from a cult statue of Athena Parthenos housed in the eastern room of the building. This magnificent structure was built of ivory and gold and was sculptured by the renowned sculptor Phidias. Phidias also built the statue of Zeus.

Blue and White. These two colours symbolise the blue of the Greek Sea and the Whiteness of the restless Greeks waves. According to the mythic legends, the Goddess of Beauty, Aphrodite emerged from these waves. Also, it reflects the blue of the Greek Sky and the White of the few clouds.

And I look forward to know even more than that!!!!! The world is such a cool place there is so much more to know.

bye for now. Sam
