i also love ancient egypt, they were my favorite civilization... When I was about to graduate from high school, I was actually thinking that I want to study archaeology for college and eventually become an Egyptologist.. well, it didn't come true though, we don't have that field of study in our local colleges... but reading stories through the net and watching discovery channel, it is still like fulfilling a dream... I wish to travel Egypt someday...=)

Don't forget about the forgotten Pharaoh, Djedefre!

The lost pyramid at Abu Rawash really must've been astounding, and he's not a bad guy like everyone thinks of him, they were just very lost at translations and such, but.. yeah

He'd have to be my fave!

It is a wonderful,mysterious place!

Hi,

I was always really interested in Egyptian - and any ancient - history and culture. My favourite is Ptolemaic line. Reading "Seven Cleopatras" was really interesting - living in those times - really dangerous.

The 18th and 19th dynasties were the best because they had women pharohs....very determined women pharohs!

I like Egypt, I don't know a lot about it, but I wouldn't have like to die there in ancient times

I saw the mummy movie! lol xD What Evey said really traumatized me XD

Rick: Let me get this straight, they ripped out your guts and they stuffed them in jars?
Evelyn: And they take out your heart as well. Oh, and you know how they took out your brains?
Jonathan: Evy, I don't think we need to know this
Evelyn: They take a sharp, red hot poker, stick it up your nose, scramble things about a bit, and then rip it all out through your nostrils.
Rick: Ooh, that's got to hurt.
Evelyn: It's called mummification, you'll be dead when they do this.
Rick: For the record, if I don't make it out of here, don't put me down for mummification.
Jonathan: Likewise.


Really... I mean....., OUCH! D:

Haha yeah....but it was pretty cool, I think! I mean, mummies are still around today! What a great mummification system!

this civilisation is so fascinating!

I really like Queen Hatchepsout, who was able to reign even if she was a woman. she had strength to rule his country.

and Queen Arsinoé too, she had a fascinating strength.

all the pharaos built temples and others things that we can still contemplate. It's incredible the ability to build temples and pyramids... water evacuactions, the cult was fascinating too ...

I can't denie I really love it

I love ancient egypt but im sick of movies where they are protrayed as white.

fucking ridiculous

Egyptians were black Africans or Arabic africans or a mix of the two.

Most of the movies feature Cleopatra, who was actually Greek. So, she would have been white! Entirely true. Here's a sculpture of her from the Berlin Museum:

thats not true, there are a lot of other sources that say otherwise.

and thats also called white supremacy

and if she was greek, which is white, why did they have a problem with ceasar falling in love with a WHITE WOMAN....doesn't make any fucking sense.
