I hope it won? I wonder what it would have been like for me! I'm not really good at smelling things though. You are right about Egypt, I've always liked it from the start, but now my favourite country is Spain. I JUST LOVE how Egyptians used to have all that lovely gold and all. Great to hear that you are learning lots and LOTS. I was wondering, i have riddles on my blog if you want to try them out!!!! They are REAL fun!! Have a go! :P :roll: :lol: :) Hey Kate! :lol:

If you enjoyed that you would probably like reading about the Ancient Greeks or Norse peoples. I personally don't know too much about their cultures as I'm just a mythology buff. But search up the ones you find kinda interesting out of the following outlines of stories about Ancient Greek and Norse mythologies, it is a neat insight into their culture. Greek Mythology (Interesting to note that opposed to our stories nowadays these don't really have many happy endings) Narcissus and Echo (Personal fav) A story about how echo's came to be and the Narcissus flower (along with narcissism, look it up it's a good word). It has the moral of not to love those who cannot show love for you. Tantulus A story about the punishment of a foolish king. With the punishment being rather interesting and rather famous. The punishment is that he is given unquenchable thirst and hunger but the kicker is that he is trapped in a river neck high and the water recedes every time he tries to drink. There is also a fruit bearing plant above him but whenever he reaches for the fruit the wind blows it out of his reach. Bellerophon The ultimate hero in Greek mythology (or he is in my opinion). Slays many beasts and tames the Pegasus. Tries to join the gods on Mount Olympus but Zeus casually shoots him and the Pegasus out of the sky with a bolt of lightning. Other things to look up greek mythology-wise: Perseus & the Medusa/Gorgons Artemis the huntress Persephone Wife of Hades Titan Gods; Birth of Zeus Chaos, the beginning of Greek mythology Norse Mythology: Skadi Has to choose her husband by his feet Ragnarock The final battle of the gods and giants, kinda like the rapture or the apocalypse Freyja & other Valkyries Sheildmaidens that take the souls of fallen warriors into the halls of Valhalla where they fight to the death every day in preparation for Ragnarock (and in those halls they are called einherjar). Other things to look up: Loki the trickster Fenris the Wolf Thor and his hammer Balder/Baldr the beautiful Hope you enjoy a little bit of the insight into these peoples if you look them up.

Glad you liked the Ancient Egypt unit. If you enjoyed that you would probably like reading about the Ancient Greeks or Norse peoples. I personally don’t know too much about their cultures as I’m just a mythology buff. But search up the ones you find kinda interesting out of the following outlines of stories about Ancient Greek and Norse mythologies, it is a neat insight into their culture.

Greek Mythology (Interesting to note that opposed to our stories nowadays these don’t really have many happy endings)

Narcissus and Echo (Personal fav)
A story about how echo’s came to be and the Narcissus flower (along with narcissism, look it up it’s a good word). It has the moral of not to love those who cannot show love for you.

Tantulus
A story about the punishment of a foolish king. With the punishment being rather interesting and rather famous. The punishment is that he is given unquenchable thirst and hunger but the kicker is that he is trapped in a river neck high and the water recedes every time he tries to drink. There is also a fruit bearing plant above him but whenever he reaches for the fruit the wind blows it out of his reach.

Bellerophon
The ultimate hero in Greek mythology (or he is in my opinion). Slays many beasts and tames the Pegasus. Tries to join the gods on Mount Olympus but Zeus casually shoots him and the Pegasus out of the sky with a bolt of lightning.

Other things to look up greek mythology-wise:
Perseus & the Medusa/Gorgons
Artemis the huntress
Persephone Wife of Hades
Titan Gods; Birth of Zeus
Chaos, the beginning of Greek mythology

Norse Mythology:

Skadi
Has to choose her husband by his feet

Ragnarock
The final battle of the gods and giants, kinda like the rapture or the apocalypse

Freyja & other Valkyries
Sheildmaidens that take the souls of fallen warriors into the halls of Valhalla where they fight to the death every day in preparation for Ragnarock (and in those halls they are called einherjar).

Other things to look up:
Loki the trickster
Fenris the Wolf
Thor and his hammer
Balder/Baldr the beautiful

Hope you enjoy a little bit of the insight into these peoples if you look them up.

Sincerely,
GreyMW
Student Mentor

Nevertheless, I like your idea alot. As for the Egypt projects we have been doing, I also learned alot. You know how we each had to pick a topic? Mine was art, what was yours? Keplyn Hi Kate,
