Creative Writing: The Famous Tablet Of Ahkmenrah

Superior Essays
Ever since you were little you had a ravenous appetite for history. Burying your nose in any book you could find. Especially ones about ancient civilizations. Your Aunt Rebecca would take you to any and every museum she could. She shared you vast love for history. And was so happy someone else in the family was as fanatical about history as she was. Christmas and birthdays you received a new book. Your favorite was the one she bought you on Ancient Egypt. That book became a staple in your wardrobe. You memorized that book word for word. So it was no surprise to anyone when you decided to intern at the American Museum of Natural History. And study the infamous tablet of Ahkmenrah. At first you didn’t want to go work at the same museum as her, …show more content…
Wouldn’t this be punishable by death? You know, touching the pharaoh’s crown? I mean I’m not royalty or important. I’m not even Egyptian.” You stammered.

“There isn’t anyone else here to tell me what to do Y/N, so I think you’re safe.” He laughed.

“Oh, right. Right.” You blushed.

Ahkmenrah took off his robe and draped it around your shoulders. He stepped back and nodded.

“You look like royalty to me.” He stated.

“Ha, yeah right.” You snorted holding his crown out to him. “Like I could be in a royal family. I’m not very regal.”

Ahkmenrah stepped closer and cupped your face in his hands. Your body froze. You stared at him wide-eyed. Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow, oh wow, oh wow… was all that went through your brain.

“You would make a perfect queen. You are patient, kind, intelligent, determined. All the qualities a queen should possess.” He leaned in to whisper in your ear. “I would ask you to be my queen, if I still ruled, that is.”

You jerked your head back and started at him dumbfounded. He took the crown out of your hands and placed it back on his head as well as his robe. You fumbled for words but nothing came out of your mouth. Ahkmenrah took your hand.

“Come, Y/N. Let me show you what it feels like to be treated like a

    The room itself was grand and ancient, with walls of rough hewn stone, polished granite floors, and a ceiling as high as ten men. There were eight long tables, the shortest on a raised dais along the far wall, and seven more set orthogonal to the first and extending to the entry. Sheaves of wheat and sprays of spring blooms adorned the walls, and cornucopias spilled fruits, nuts and candies onto each table. There were dancers, at least a dozen of them, draped loosely in silks of gold and rich green, ribbons of fabric that swayed as they swayed, dipped as they dipped, and fluttered about them as they spun. Along walls and in corners, on tables and among revelers, they danced in time to a rhythmic tune—singly and in pairs and trios, all moving with an agile grace, seducing guests with limber acrobatics and inviting smiles.…

    I fidget nervously, hands straightening my shirt, tucking a curly strand of hair behind my ear. They fall to rest on the folds of my skirt, my chin lifted. I and about three hundred other adults-to-be - perhaps two-thirds of them Pars, the other third humans like myself - stand in neat rows in the throne room of Queen Tenebris' palace, ready for the ceremony to begin. The rest of Pars Regno sits behind us, impatiently waiting as well. Some are tearful, for when the ceremony is over, we shall be given orders on where to go from here by the government.…

    I think that courage is important to the world. I think this because if the world didn’t have courage people wouldn’t be able to stand up for each other and share their ideas, because it takes courage to do that in front of people. there are many different types of Courage, like Emotional/intellectual courage, social moral and physical. Physical is when it's something like a firefighter and social moral is like standing up to your friends. And emotional/intellectual like trying something new.…

    That was when a scream sounded from somewhere close. It was creepy enough to scare poor Seth half to death. We clung to each other like strips of Velcro, and for an unbearably tense moment, I heard only the croaking of frogs. It was followed by another tortured shout. Still sudden, desperate, and scary but slightly muffled this time.…

    Instead of doing a boring essay about someone’s history, students can create PowerPoints, scrapbooks, posters, or other creative presentations. This project allows students to ask the questions they are interested in because they formulated their own questions. It also provides a rich opportunity for human interaction. Students will learn about the hopes, feelings, ambitions, disappointments, family histories, and personal experiences of the individuals they interview. I believe using oral history in the classroom is important because teachers can assist students in understanding the significance of history in their everyday…

    I have always had a passion for history and storytelling since I was a child and decided in seventh grade world history class that I wanted to be an archaeologist, discovering ancient cultures and uncovering their secrets. I maintained this plan, arriving at Boston University as an archaeology major but after several semesters of study realized that it wasn’t the exact path for me. I began to grow my appreciation of museums, admiring how they could ignite wonder, curiosity, and learning in myself and others. I realized this was where I felt most at home. Therefore, I decided to change my major to art history, while retaining an archaeology minor, and explore history through the lens of artist’s interpretations and ideas.…
