For awhile now we've been learning about Ancient Egypt at Riverside Scholars. Like did you know that Egypt was once divided into to parts? Upper and Lower Egypt but then they both fought one great war that would decided who would rule Egypt. Upper Egypt and The White Crowned King, King Narmer defeated Lower Egypt and the Red Crowned King and took hid crown away and put it on top of his own crown. There were many pharaohs and queens of Egypt the Egyptians were polytheists that means that they worship many Gods but that all changed this one time. There was once a pharaoh of Egypt named Amenhotep he was pretty normal for a few years, he sent out armies to stop rebellions, he married a Nubian princess, and worshiped the gods but then everything changed, he know told the people of Egypt that the gods didn't exist and that the only god was a god named Aten. The people were horrified and were forced to move into another city, build monuments of the god, and change there religion to Monotheism which means to worship one god. After Akhenehaten ( he changed his name) died the people rebelled and moved back to their usual way of life. I sure learned a lot when we studied Egypt who nows mabye the curse on Tut's tomb is real.
