Ancient Egypt February 2

Today in class Mr. Schick came back to school after being away for a couple days because of his daughter's illness. We discussed Ancient Egypt and showed our power points. We also took notes while looking at the slideshows. I learned that the people of Egypt saw the pharaohs as mediators between the realm of the gods and the realm of the humans. The clothing they wore was to display their power and association with the gods, the pharaohs wore different clothes than the nobles and the common people.  The pyramids were built for the pharaohs to live in the after life. Also, Egyptians believed that it was important to worship these gods and goddesses.
