Hey, how are you doing? I’m loving it so much at the Egyptian field trip. So far I’ve learned a lot about pyramids for example who built them and what was their purpose.

Also they were different in their way of govern their civilization. Ancient Egypt had a highly centralized government. Its efficient bureaucracy and the high position of the pharaohs meant that rulers wielded enormous power over the entire country.

He believes the gate had attachable lion heads that looked back because that would distribute the weight best considering the dowel holes; based on the bodies’ definition and the space for a mane, he thinks they are male lions. He believes the Lion’s Gate relief was at least inspired by Anatolians, specifically by the Hittites. Based on appearance alone, the Lion’s…
