The most famous Pharaoh of Egypt’s 18th dynasty has to be King Tutankhamen. The riches of his tomb have given him international fame and recognition , but in a historical sense his accomplishes cannot be compared to those of Ahmose I. Ahmose I accomplished something that Pharaohs before him could not and that was then continued by his Successor. Although the lack of riches in his tomb could not allow him to have the modern recognition that King Tutankhamen he is rich in his history.

The original analysis of King Tut's mummy suggested that the young king died of a lung disease or even a brain tumor. Which would explain the small bump found on the back of his head. However, suspitions were raised after an x-ray showed that he may have been assassinated. However, there are no leading candidates as his murderer. Archealogists agree that King Tut was loved by all.…

“Memento mori” is a Latin expression that roughly translates to “remember that you are mortal,” or “remember that you will die.” We all strive to live our lives as best as we can, but never forget that we are mortal and at some point everything will come to an end for oneself. Everybody has undoubtedly pondered at some point about what lies beyond death. While most people focus on where their soul and consciousness will go beyond the grave, Mary Roach’s “Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers” calls to mind a much less commonly regarded aspect of the topic as it details the various fates that befall our corpses after we die. Roach conveys the often gruesomely detailed information with an unrelenting air of wit, resulting in one of the most…
I feel that the film The Three Burials staring Tommy Lee Jones is the most effective revision of the genre contemporary westerns we viewed. The film showed the revision of an old western film, but play it into more a modern theme and with modern issues. In the film, Jones forces Barry Pepper character to rebury a Mexican immigrant he killed by accident. In the past, there were no borders, or even the term illegal immigrant in the west. Tommy Lee Jones character Pete Perkins feels that the West is still lawless, so he takes justice into his own hands, by kidnapping Barry Pepper character Mike Norton a Customs and Border Control agent.…
