Just watched an awesome show on the H2 History Channel 2 about Ancient Egyptian culture; afterlife and pyramids.
Ramses was brilliant, but a conniving bastard. He rolled the dice and will forever be beloved regardless of considering what
could have occurred had their enemies not caught disease after the retreat
They go to Egypt, expose Ramses of his lies to his country about the victory at war and reveal the factual truth about what happened, and he goes down as the worst pharaoh of all time.
"Ancient egyptian religion passed on to modernistic religions that are important still today like Christianity etc., so perhaps the Egyptians did achieve their goal of immortality after all"
Crazy how much you learn when you pursue these things yourself rather than being given meaningless busy work in class to "inspire" us to pay attention.
Instead of busy work to inspire inject some creativity in your teaching approach.
