A Pyramid Has Been Unearthed


In Egypt, archeologists say that they have unearthed a pyramid older than 4000 years. The discovery was in Saqqara, south of Cairo. The site's known as one of the most famous burial place for rulers of ancient Egypt. It is the 118th pyramid found, it had belonged to queen Sesheshet. All that is left of it is a 5 meter high square base, but the most famous archeologist said the remains had been more than 3 times this height.

New Tomb Found in Egypt

Archeologist are celebrating their founding, they discovered more than 20 mummies. They might be over 2600 years old, and the items inside the tombs are even older. One sarcophagus is over 4000 years old. For the moment, archeologist only opened one sarcophagus, but they are hoping to find more mummies inside the others. Four of the mummies had a dog buried with them. It is very rare to find a burial site in as good conditions.

Draw Borders

I used what I learned about geography, economics, and sociology to draw the borders for Kenbrena Webquest because if a country is only mountains, how does it grow food, it would die. If a country is super long, how can you defend it. If it doesn't have rivers, it is almost impossible for it to survive. If there are not any resources, where do you get the money from? If people don't get along, there would be continuous fights which exetremely bad for a it. Any country wouldn't survive if the people that determined the borders didn't care about geography, economics or sociology.

How to Have a Strong Country

To have a strong country, you don't only need rich people. You need more poor people than reach people actually. If you don't have any poor people, who will go to war, rich people don't want to die for their country. Who will grow food, rich people don't want to do hard manual work. Who will build houses, they don't want to carry too heavy things that might hurt them badly. Without poor, there won't be any hard jobs done. That is why a country needs both, the poor and the rich.

Kenbrena Social Classes

Some groups get along together and some groups do not because some groups could be jealous of the others or some groups could feel superior. Maybe in the early history, the groups had a fight and they hated each other over generations.
My family makes me think the most about the Franklos because we don't look like any other, but I don't think we are like the Franklos either.
