Perfume
The Dancer
Music and dancing were apart of every major event, whether it was a gathering of the harvest or the feast of Eternity for a departed one. During the Old Kingdom, the dances were stylized with only occasional acrobatics. The beat was set by clapping hands. By the time of the New Kingdom, dancers threw balls, beat on tambourines, clicked castanets, and did high jumps and complicated acrobatics. Many dancers wore perfume made of lotus flowers and wore beautiful gowns you can see on this fresco.

The Goldsmith
Even before the Old Kingsom, goldsmiths were skilled at beating, twisting, molding, and melting gold. Items such as pectorals, braclets, chokers, and hair ordenments were evident in pictures found in tombs of the Old kingdom. Earrings did not appear until right before the New Kingdom. The development of fine jewerly making reached its peak during the New Kingdom. Goldsmiths used semi-precious stones like turquoise, lapis lazuli, and amethyst do decorate their jewelry.
pectorals- a form of jewellery, often represented as a necklace. This was mostly worn by richer people.
lapis lazuli- is a relatively rare semi-precious stone that has been prized since antiquity for its intense blue color.

The Carpenter
I got to thinking about the geography of Ancient Egypt and about the boats that we learned about yesterday. When we watched that movie....I was all.....How did they make those boats? I don't see any trees?
Lumber was in scare supply in ancient Egypt. Finding the right wood to make coffins, boats, furniture was difficult, even as far back as the Old Kingdom. A pharaoh sometimes sent as many as 40 ships to Lebanon and Syria to bring back cedar and pine for coffins and boats. Shipwrights were extremely skilled at boat-building and could turn out a huge sailing ship in as little as 17 days. Boats provided the major means of hauling goods, materials, and passengers.
pharaoh- king/ruler...believed to be half god/ half human...could be either female or male
Critically think and respond: Why hasn't America seen a female preseident? What needs to change in order to have one?

The Sailor- Ancient Egypt
The Sailor-
The Nile was the primary highway in ancient Egypt. Early boats were made of papyrus and were easy to guide. Wooden boats as big as 100 feet long and 50 feet across appeared in the Old Kingdom. The sailor looked after the sail and repeated the pilot’s commands. The pilot used a speaking trumpet to call to men on the shore. The land of Punt, thought to be located near present day Somalia, was reached by sailing south on the Red Sea. Accounts of these expeditions do not refer to trade but rather gifts to Hathor, the goddess of Punt.
Vocabulary-
Papyrus- is a thick paper-like material produced from the inside of the papyrus plant
expeditions- A journey or voyage undertaken by a group of people with a particular purpose, esp. that of exploration, research, or war.
Trade with Egypt and Kush

The Impact of Early Human Migration....
Mini-Present and fill in web of What makes us human?
Why do people move?

People move for many reasons and that those reasons are called push factors and pull factors.
Push factors include leaving a place because of a problem, such as a food shortage, war, or flood.
Pull factors include moving to a place because of something good, such as a nicer climate, more job opportunities, or a better food supply.
What effect does a region’s economy, climate, politics, and culture have on migration to and from the area?
What would change if we looked (and acted) as if everyone on this planet as our brother or sister?

I think that time travel does exist. I can choose to mentally time travel if I can read. Through books I get to visit strange and exotic lands that take place in the past, present, and future. I can emotionally time travel if I think an event that has happened in my life. Pretty soon I think scientist will solve the physical time travel question. With time and science, I believe that anything is possible, even time travel.
