Today's class 2/11/11

Today in Western Civ class we discussed the current events in Egypt. Mubarack finally stepped down and the people of Egpyt are extremely happy. We also discussed some things about Ancient Egypt. We talked about the pharohs, the pyramids, the heiroglyphs, and mummies. We then got into groups and worked on finding some information about the different things we had talked about. Some of the things I learned about the pyramids were that they were built as tombs for the pharohs and their queens and that overall there are 80 known pyramids in Egypt. I can't to learn more about the mummies! Thats my favorite topic out of all of Egypt.
