It is from the Greek word “theatron” meaning “a place for sitting”. It is said that the Greeks were the first people to erect special structures to bring audiences and theatrical performers together. The theatres were normally located near a populated area at the bottom, or cut out of a carefully selected, sloping hillside overlooking a seascape, plain, or city. They would then largely be constructed with three distinct parts: the theatron (viewing place) for spectators, the orchestra where the chorus and actors performed; and a later addition, the skene (scene building), which provided a scenic backing.…

The most famous pharaoh in the history of Egypt was not famous because he was the best or most powerful king. King Tutankhamun was so famous for two reasons.

To go back in time, to stand in the footsteps of Howard Carter, would be a moment of ecstasy. I can only imagine the anticipation that would fill my soul, as my conscience reminded me that I must remain calm, as many eyes stood by watching my every move. A seven year journey that I had embarked upon and finally my treasure, King Tutankhamen treasures for his eternity have been discovered or had they been pillaged. Finding myself a bit reluctant, I imagine I would begin to shake as it came time to pass through the entrance of the tomb. Everything within myself longing to see what King Tut had truly valued, knowing that the things he held of great worth would be the very things he would seek to carry into his afterlife.…

King tut died by assassination and General Horemheb is the one who did it. One piece of evidence that shows that General Horemheb killed king tut is “An x-ray of his skull revealed a calcified blood clot ai its base. This could have been caused by a blow from a blunt implement, which eventually resulted in death”. This shows that he was assassinated because most likely he would've gotten hit in the head by a object. A piece of implicit evidence is I think that he was killed by General Horemheb because when general horemheb was king he removed every pharaoh's name from the wall that married king tuts wife so that why i think he was jealous of king tut, and that's why he killed him.…

I thought this was a little strange, so I decided to record everything the minions did because I thought it could prove useful in the future.…
