Topic- to be done on the blog.
Next week, as
part of our Ancient Egyptian topic, we will be learning about Ramses II. Please
carry out some research answering the following questions:
-Who was Ramses II and why is he still so
famous today?
-From your research, why do you think he is
so often called ‘Ramses the Great’?
Ramses II is important for many reasons.
ReplyDelete1. He was very active in building monuments in Egypt and Nubia
2. He led several campaigns into Syria, Libya and Nubia and negotiated a treaty with the Hittites
3. He is one of only a handful of Egyptian kinds to have held a Sed fesitival. This means that in the 30th year of his reign, he was ritually transformed into a God.
4. He has been identified as being the Pharaoh of whom Moses demanded to let his people go (this may or may not be a correct identification)
5. He also inspired Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem "Ozymandias" and the character Ozymandias from the popular Watchmen graphic novel and movie takes his inspiration from Ramses II.
Ramses II had a 66 year reign and in the 30th year, he had already eclipsedmost pharaohs; he had brought peace, maintained Egyptian borders, built great and numerous monuments across his empire and his country was more prosperous and powerful than it had been in almost 100 years.
Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses the Great, was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt. He is often known as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the Egyptians.
ReplyDeleteHe was born in 1303 BC, and died in 1213 BC. His wife was called Nefertari, and his parents were Tuya and Seti I.
He had 4 children, and of course, he had to name one of them after him.
He was a pharaoh for 66 years - 1279 BC to 1213 BC.
He died at the age of around 90.
His father sadly died when Ramses was 25, although I dont think he really cared anyways!
If by Rudyard Kipling ----
DeleteIf you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream — and not make dreams your master;
If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
I really do like this poem, I think its fantastic.
The reason why I think this is because really, this is kind of what happens in life, so its basically saying, Can You Live Life. Thats what I think.
And plus, it rhymes and still sounds quite natural.
Pluto
DeletePluto's surface is one of the coldest places in the solar system at roughly minus 375 degrees F (minus 225 degrees C). In Roman mythology, Pluto is the god of the underworld. Pluto's radius is not well known. JPL's value of 1137 is given with an error of +/-8, almost one percent.
Pluto can be seen with an amateur telescope but it is not easy. I have not seen it before in my telescope though :( Its unlikely anyways!!!
In August 2006 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of "dwarf planet."
Moon
The moon is the easiest celestial object to find in the night sky — when it's there. Moon phases and the moon's orbit are a mystery to many. Because it takes 27.3 days both to rotate on its axis and to orbit Earth, the moon always shows us the same face.
The moon has a very thin atmosphere, so a layer of dust — or a footprint — can sit undisturbed for centuries.
Ramesses II
ReplyDeletePharaoh
Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses the Great, was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt. He is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire.
Born: 1303 BC
Died: 1213 BC
Spouse: Nefertari
Parents: Tuya, Seti I
Children: Merneptah, Ramesses, Meritamen, Amun-her-khepeshef, more
Place of burial: KV7, Egypt, Deir el-Bahari, Egypt.
Ramses II", who reigned for 67 years during the 19th dynasty of the 12th century BC, was known as "Ramses the Great". His glories surpassed all other Pharaohs, and Egypt reached an overwhelming state of prosperity during his reign. Not only is he known as one of Egypt's greatest warriors, but also as a peace-maker and for the monuments he left behind all over Egypt. He was the first king in history to sign a peace treaty with his enemies, the Hittites, ending long years of wars and hostility. The treaty can still be considered a conclusive model, even when applying todays standards.
Nice and fantastic Vallabh.

He was a very successful pharaoh. He builg loads of astonishing temples and won a famous battle in kadesh against the hitties. He also made the first peace treaty.
Ramses II was the child of Seti I and Tuya. He was named Rameses, as his grandfather was named Rameses I.
ReplyDeleteRameses II was one of the longest ruling pharaohs on ancient Egypt and he ruled for 67 years. He lived for 80 years, though the average person only lived for about 40 years. He made a name for himself as a builder and a warrior. He had more than a dozen wives and over 100 children.
Rameses achieved being an amazing builder. He built many temples, which were named:
•Ramesseum - The Ramesseum is a large temple complex that was located on the west bank of the Nile near the city of Thebes. It was the Mortuary Temple of Ramses II. The temple is famous for its giant statue of Ramses.
•Abu Simbel - Ramses had the temples of Abu Simbel built in the Nubian region of southern Egypt. At the entrance to the larger temple there are four huge statues of Ramses sitting down. They are each about 66 feet tall! (Interestingly, twice a year the moon shines down onto the middle of the statue, which many people think that that means Rameses was very godly and holy).
•Pi-Ramesses - Ramses also built a new capital city of Egypt called Pi-Ramesses. It became a large and powerful city under Ramses rule, but was later abandoned.
He was also fought in the Battle of Quadesh against the Hittites. It was very close, but the Egyptians won, as Rameses had asked extra people to come and help them.
They named him Rameses the Great, because of all the amazing and interesting artwork he’d done. He was also named this, as he had fought the battle of Quadesh, and he had accomplished many things, including all his temples and statues.
