Lowe's

Gabe is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Lowe's! Two days ago we had a ''Build and Grow Clinics'' which the next one on May 9Th is a flower pot. HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!! I am so sorry. . . but it was so funny!!!! OK here is a ''Rain Flower''. The top one is Gabe the bottom one is me. We are holding the finished ''Rain Flower''. It was kinda easy but the nails were too bendy ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK lets just say this. . . . we waited half a hour because they lost there tables and the sets we were supposed to do (we were supposed to do a hang glider) oh and the tables were wood planks.

OK! now me and Gabe also made a Birdhouse and a tic-tac-toe broad which took eight nails to make ware it took me 23 nails to take! I was so envious of Gabe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here I am making my Birdhouse and I am going to paint it later.

Oh and Gabe was so cute when he finished he was so happy he wanted to play 2 rounds of tic-tac-toe with daddy. Gabe won one round and daddy won the other round.

So I hope you like the post! Bye!

Egyptian landmarks

The Great Pyramids and the Great Sphinx

1.) It is thought the nose of the Great Sphinx was shot off by Napoleon's men, but this is not true. There are signs that the nose has erroded away over time.

2.) Ramesses II may have tried to restore the Great Sphinx.

3.) The Great Pyramid is built for Khufu.

4.) Herodotus, a ancient greek historian, was told by his Egyptian guides that it took 22 years for a force of 100,000 oppressed slaves to build the pyramid. Stones were lifted into position by the use of huge machines and the purpose of the structure, according to Herodotus's sources, was as a tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu.

Herodotus was partially wrong. The Great Pyramid was a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu, but it is believed that less people were used to build the pyramid and they were not slaves. Also, simple machines such as pullies and sleds moved the stones.

The Temple of Luxor

1.) The Temple of Luxor held the Festival of Opet. Built largely by Amenhotep III and Ramesses II, it appears that the temple's purpose was for a suitable setting for the rituals of the festival.

2.) Known in the Egyptian language as ipet resyt (ipet-isut), or "the southern harem", the temple was dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Chons and was built during the New Kingdom. The focus of the annual Opet Festival, in which a cult statue of Amun was paraded down the Nile from nearby Karnak Temple to stay there for a while, with his consort Mut, in a celebration of fertility.

King Tut's tomb

1.) It is not the grandest tomb in Egypt, and was certainly not occupied by one of Egypt's most powerful rulers. But in general, the population of the world know the tomb of Tutankhamen (KV 62) better then any other. Compared to all the other royal tombs, it was found mostly intact. What was found in this tomb shows us why tombs were robbed.

2.) The King Tutankhamen started ruling the ancient Egypt about 3,500 years ago at age of 7 or 9 and he was dead at age of 16 or 18 or 19. His reign was short and nothing seriously important happened. The most interesting thing about him is his mysterious death.

3.) King Tut's curse is not real!
