personally i could care less about egypt and anything that has to do with history........
^^ Dude you're missin out, it's fascinatingEgyptians believed in many gods, right. Ankhenaten, (basically, King Tut's father) was the first Pharoah to break the mold and say "there is only 1 god, the sun god, Aten". His name was originally Ankhenamun, he gets to be pharoah, and destroys all the other gods, (amun) and changes his name to Aten! Egypt went crazy. He was secretly hated by many egyptians for this... he passed on, and was buried in his holy city he built for his 1 god.... Which was also called Ankhenaten. His son, Tutankhaten took the throne, and changed his name to Tutankhamun, restoring the polytheistic gods; so Egypt loved him. Eventually, Ankhenaten's tomb was raided in Ankhenaten, so Tutankhamen had his body removed in secrecy, along with Nefertiti, his mom, and reburied in the Valley of the Kings with a fitting King's burial. After Tutankhamen's death, his body was found and destroyed (since everyone hated him)... that's all theoretical, but what I'm leaning towards happened.They say that 80% of Egypt still lies hidden under the sands. That's tombs, temples, etc. etc.
How you gonna know who you are if you don't study your history?
Has anyone actually been there? or to anywhere similar?I've only been to some UK places like glastonbury tor, tintagel and some stone circles, and one of those chalk things (the horse one, not the guy with the huge cock - lol). the tor is so peaceful when there aren't tourists around.
7O4D: I've been to Egypt, but I don't really know too much about the whole history. I tell ya, the pyramids are amazing, I sort of felt scared out there to be honest, lol, felt liked there was this sort of evil aura out there. It's mad cos' there's the desert with the pyramids then a few yards down its the Sphinx and then there's the city/town where everyone lives right across the road, lol. You were aloud to climb on the pyramids, only so far obviously but still, I was going to take a peice of the pyramids with me, but was too scared, lol. Oh, & I got to ride on a camel, that was g'd up, lol. Also got to go to the museum where the there were mummy tombs & tutancarmon's (if thats how it's spelt) head gear, that huge mask thing (see, shows how much I know).
