Introduction to Archaeology, 5th period
Daniel's blushing slightly at the beginning of the class, looking at a bottle of vodka in his hand. There's a note attached to it.
"Good afternoon.
The most powerful person in ancient Egypt was the pharaoh. The pharaoh was the political and religious leader of the Egyptian people, holding the titles: 'Lord of the Two Lands' and 'High Priest of Every Temple'.
As 'Lord of the Two Lands' the pharaoh was the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt. He owned all of the land, made laws, collected taxes, and defended Egypt against foreigners.
As 'High Priest of Every Temple', the pharaoh represented the gods on Earth. He performed rituals and built temples to honour the gods.
Many pharaohs went to war when their land was threatened or when they wanted to control foreign lands. If the pharaoh won the battle, the conquered people had to recognise the Egyptian pharaoh as their ruler and offer him the finest and most valuable goods from their land.
I've got a handout with more information here, if you're interested. We're going to be referencing the pharoah's again next week when we look at religion." Daniel's lip might have curled slightly at the mention of Egyptian religion; what could he possibly have against it?
"Now asides from Tutankhamun and Cleopatra, what other pharoahs, if any, are you familiar with, or have heard or read about? Are you familiar with Tutankhamun and Cleopatra?"
[[ooc: Sorry for the lateness of this. *blames socks omg*]]
