2. Three questions from me

2. a) What was the main reason for you to leave the grat city of

Chicago, come here and teach us?

b) Have you heard anything special about our country and you

would like to visit it, customs you would like to explore, or peopleyou would like to meet?

c) What are you planning to do while you are here, in what sorts of

projects are you interested in?

3. What country I would like to visit?

3.The country I would like to visit is Egypt.

The History of ancient Egypt spans the period from the early

predynastic settlements of the northern Nile Valley to the Roman

conquest in 30 BC. The Pharaonic Period is dated from around 3150

BC, when Lower and Upper Egypt became a unified state, until thecountry fell under Greek rule in 332 BC.

Egypt's history is split into several different periods according tothe dynasty of the ruling of each pharaoh.

The Old Kingdom is most commonly regarded as spanning theperiod of time when Egypt was ruled by the Third Dynasty through to

the Sixth Dynasty (2686 BC 2134 BC). The royal capital of Egypt

during the Old Kingdom was located at Memphis, where Djoserestablished his court. The Old Kingdom is perhaps best known,

however, for the large number ofpyramids, which were constructed at

this time as pharaonic burial places. For this reason, the Old Kingdomis frequently referred to as "the Age of the Pyramids." The first notable

pharaoh of the Old Kingdom was Djoser (26302611 BC) of the ThirdDynasty, who ordered the construction of a pyramid (the Step Pyramid)

in Memphis' necropolis, Saqqara.

Many books have been written on religion in ancient Egypt.Religion in ancient Egypt was not unlike modern times. Today, not

everyone believes in the same way, or of the same god. Egypt was no

different. Individual kings worshipped their own gods, as did theworkers, priests, merchants and peasants. Likewise, the myths changed

with the location of the gods, as did their names. Names in ancient

Egypt were very mystic and powerful. It was thought that if youinscribed your enemies' name on something, then broke it, that enemy

would either be afflicted, or possibly die. If you knew a name you had

power. In the same respect, using a name could be beneficial. Each godhad five names, and each was associated with an element, such as air,

with celestial bodies, or were a descriptive statement about the god,such as strong, virile or majestic.

The creator of all things was either Re, Amun, Ptah, Khnum orAten, depending on which version of the myth was currently in use. The

heavens were represented by Hathor, Bat, and Horus. Osiris was anearth god as was Ptah. The annual flooding of the Nile was Hapi.

Storms, evil and confusion were Seth. His counterpart was Ma'at, who

represented balance, justice and truth. The moon was Thoth andKhonsu. Re, the sun god, took on many forms, and transcended most of

the borders that contained the other gods. The actual shape of the sun,the disk (or, aten), was deified into another god, Aten.
