Interveiw with the Pharohs Daughter
Hey everyone! today I decided to show you what I've been working on lately.
In HomeSchool, my favopurite subject is Anceint History and right now I'm studying Egypt. it is soooo cool!!!!!!!
I've decided to make a Egyptian 'News paper', called The Egyptian Times. My Reporters name is Pepi Nile. And this is my first Article.
THE EGYPTIAN TIMES
Greetings to all the locals and tourists of Egypt. I am Pepi, Pharaohs Favourite Interviewer. And with me today have Pharaohs youngest Daughter, Jewel of the Pharaoh, (I Call her Jewel for short!) and today we are talking about her Royal life and Family Business.
“So Jewel, lets start with your Dad, the mighty and powerful Pharaoh, who Rules wisely over our wonderful country Egypt. What’s the History about the job of being the Pharaoh?”
“Well, Pepi, for over 3000 years Pharaohs have ruled over this mighty country of Egypt. My Father rules all the land and everything and everybody in it. And that’s a lot to rule!”
“Were is your Father now? It would have been nice to get an interview with him too!”
“That will be a bit hard I’m afraid, Pepi. He’s having a meeting and mother went too. Mother is one of Pharaohs 15 wives. Pharaohs always have more than one wife, but Mother is Fathers favourite wife and so Mother is His Assistant. If Father didn’t have a favourite wife he would,by the law, have had his Favourite sister accompany him."
“That doesn’t matter about your Father. I’ll catch him another time! And 15 wives, wow! Tell him I congratulate him! Anyway, tell us about our Gods.There are so many, tell us the most important few.”
“Well, there is the Great God Ra, God of the Sun, King of all the Gods. And there is Anubis, the god of burials and funerals. He is mostly seen with a body of a man and a head a jackal.
Thoth, the god of writing and knowledge. Portrayed with the head of either a baboon or a bird called an ibis.
Osiris is the god of death and resurrection. He has green skin representing new life and resurrection and is wrapped like a mummy, holding a crook and a flail of kingship. Nut, our sky goddess of Egyptian mythology, arches her body over the earth to form the heavens, with her limbs at each point of the compass. Every night she swallows the sun and gives birth to it in the morning. There’s Bes, the lion-dwarf, is a popular god! His job is to protect the home, particularly during the night when the forces of evil and chaos are believed to be at their most powerful. And then there is Horus. He is a god of the sunrise and sky.He is the god of Kingship and the first king. There are loads more!”
“Very interesting! It must have taken you a while to memorize all that! Horus sounds amazing! If he’s the first king, is that why Pharaohs are worshiped?”
“Only one of the reasons Pepi! But yes, everybody believes that the Pharaoh is the form of Horus. And when the Pharaoh dies, he is an image of Orisis.”
“Wow. In all my travels I have also seen all sorts of crowns worn by Pharaohs, tell us about that.”
“Yes, well, there’s the red crown of lower Egypt, for as you know Egypt was separated and ruled by two different kings, and there’s the white crown of Upper Egypt, and the double crown of upper and lower Egypt, the Feathered crown worn by Orisis, the Atef crown worn above a head cloth, a blue war crown, and the Uraeus, or royal cobra, worn on crowns above the brow and the Vulture, worn just like the Uraeus.”
“Thank you so much Jewel of the Pharaoh! I have enjoyed this so much and I appreciate you spending your time for this interview. This shall defiantly be put in the ‘Egyptian Times’!”
“This is Pepi Nile, reporting forthe ‘Egyptian Times’.
