If it was skilled workers or laborers it would not have took them twenty years to build it because they may have wanted to do it and get it done, unlike slaves. In document B it states that they were lash driven men and if they weren’t then the masters would not have beat the smarter, or better workers.…

    Carl Munck views many ancient monuments as codes that are meant to represent their latitude and longitude on the globe. He sees the Nazca Lines as a primitive map. HE used a complex and a series of illogical numbers which are associated with the Nazca line he calls Manos. According to Munck, Manos is trying to describe its exact location on the globe. In order for his theory to work, Munck changed the Greenwich Prime Meridian to the Pyramids of Giza, as he claims that the ancient Nazca people would have no knowledge whatsoever, of the Greenwich Prime, but he claims that they would have definitely known about the Giza Pyramids.…

    Archeologists have found Ancient Egyptian calligraphy reading “let me live upon bread and barley of white ale made of grain red”. Bread and beer originated in the early history of mankind and played an essential role in Egyptian civilization. Historians estimate that bread stemmed from the Middle East approximately 10,000 years ago when pre-historic man accidentally hardened porridge after cooking it too long over an open fire. It formed a hard, flat, cracker-like substance. Flat bread became a crucial source of carbohydrates to supplement their diet and encouraged the farming of cereal grains.…

    Towards the beginning of the epilogue, I briefly recounted Bod's trip to the pyramids. This was an allusion to the state Bod would come to realize the graveyard was in as the pyramids, much like the graveyard, were once great and majestic but have now become dulled and lost most of their majesty having stood the test of time. I also used references to time on many occasions such as the "10 year tunnel" line used partway through the narrative as a form of repetition to further support the idea of time and Bod's losing position with his race against time. I used many metaphors such as the running lion or the leisurely dog to effectively paint a picture of the events as they were happening in the minds of the reader. I tried using certain adjectives such as "ominous" to give off a feeling of a story of a Gothic nature.…
