...contained mummies which were taken to Europe for many disrespectful purposes, like mummy unwrapping parties. In these parties, mummies are unwrapped for fun which Poe satirized in his story. The topic of Egypt mania is better satirized than the topic of progress in science and knowledge in Edgar Allen Poe’s satire, “Some Words with a Mummy.” In the 1840’s, a popular trend was to take mummies from their tombs and disrespect them by putting them on display. Napoleon invading Egypt and the Rosetta Stone discovery caused people to go to Egypt. “Soon, historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists alike flocked to Egypt to excavate the tombs….” They originally went to study the inscriptions on the walls of temples but later had other intentions. “... gold, jewels, and mummies, many of which were taken back to Europe to be put on display in museums.” The tombs in Egypt were not meant to be excavated, and disrespected by mummies being taken and put on...

...the daughter of Thutmose I and Aahmes. Hatshepsut was married to Thutmose II, her half-brother. Upon Thutmose II death Thutmose III, the son of Thutmose II and his royal concubine, was too young to become pharaoh. Hatshepsut who was his step mother became pharaoh instead. Thutmose III envied Queen Hatshepsut and was eager to become the Pharaoh. Because of the dislike Thutmose III tried to erase any trace of the female Pharaoh that dressed as a male. The mystery surrounding the death of Queen Hatshepsut heightens when her remains disappeared for KV20. It is suggest that in the Third Intermediate Period, during the 21st or 22nd Dynasties, the mummy of Hatshepsut was relocated to KV60, which possibly was cut in the 18th Dynasty but never used, this tomb was incomplete and was not decorated. It is speculated that the tomb was be built for someone else. According to research it appears that the mummy of Hatshepsut was switch to the coffin of her wet nurse for security reason and as a sign of respect. After researching one would think that the hatred from Thutmose III played into the mysterious disappearance of the Pharaoh. I speculated that she was murdered. There were no signs of the Pharaoh until 1960s when translations of hieroglyphs and other discoveries brought clarity to the missing information in historical records. The mystery of the Queen mummy started to unfold in April 2007 in the tombs of Deir el-Bahril. Dr. Zahi Hawasaa retrieved the mummy and transported it to...

...as lesser human beings who are unworthy to be in a position of power or status. However, shifts in power can be recognized at the beginning of the New Kingdom in Egypt. In the eighteenth dynasty, the wife and mother of King Ahmose showed growing signs of power as many cults proclaimed dedication towards them. Shortly afterwards, the New Kingdom produced the “rarity” of a “ruling queen” (Freeman 64). Queen Hatshepsut was a great example of how formidable and influential a woman could be when serving in a position of power. Hatshepsut was the daughter of King Thutmose I and when her father died, she married her half-brother, King Thutmose II. When her husband died, his son Thutmose III (who was only a boy at the time), ruled the throne and Hatshepsut was accepted as co-regent. However, she quickly assumed absolute control over the Egyptian empire by “claiming that she was ruler by right as the heir of Thutmose I” (Freeman 64). Her rise to power defied the patriarchal views set in place by the men in power and set a new precedent for the roles women led. Hatshepsut is historically significant for a number of reasons. During the time in which she ruled, her reign was peaceful, successful, and stable because “for the first time in the New Kingdom a ruler had effective control over Middle Egypt” (Freeman 65). One of her greatest achievements was the campaign she led into the land of Punt which resulted in many exotic goods such as aromatic plants, cattle, and ebony. Hatshepsut...

...can’t I put down something about children on paper? How can I show what goes on in the mind of children? How do children see the grown one in the world? As I have imagined all these things, I discovered that I can show this view through a play (drama). This play tried in the way it can to show the world view of children between the ages of five and seven, how the adults have influenced them and what(how) they perceive their actions, characters and utterances. The language of the characters is as the languages of the children in Nigerian society. Their languages are always simple and to some extent lack syntactic and semantic organization. But to depict and maintain the interest of the reader, some touches are made in some aspects of their utterances’. We should understand that in the world we live today- children also have a room in it; therefore we should in all ramifications make them understand the essence of life through our behavior, actions and utterances. We might ignore them but they are always sensitive about their environment-we (adults) are part of their environment.

...| The “Mummy’s Curse” | HUM 111 − World Cultures I | | Franceda Coleman | January 28th, 2012 | Professor Pettigrew | The “Mummy’s Curse” The “Mummy’s Curse” is explained as a series of unexplainable, unfortunate or tragic events that happened to people who were present at the opening of Tutankhamen’s tomb. Unable to explain why many people present during the opening suffered such loss and the mix of media hype and facts, people started to speculate that the curse was real. “Legend has it that anyone who dared to open the tomb would suffer the wrath of the mummy, because mummies have been associated with many magical powers throughout history” (http://www.kingtutone.com/tutankhamun/curse/). Another possibility is that “New findings are showing that bacteria on the wall of the tomb might have been the cause of the curse” (http://www.kingtutone.com/tutankhamun/curse/). From all that I have read, I believe that the “Mummy’s” most likely is the real thing. I say this mainly because I do believe in things such as “curses” and magic, but also because the likely hood of the mold or bacteria found at the tomb ( Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus Flavus) can cause congestion and bleeding of the lungs, but scientist have confirmed that they are not. In fact, “F. DeWolfe Miller, professor of epidemiology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, concurs with Howard Carter's original opinion: Given the local conditions, Lord Carnarvon was probably safer inside Tut's tomb than outside”...

...Exploring Mysteries Surrounding The "Mummy's Curse" Heidi Mozina Dr. Richard Foster Strayer University Humanities 111 May 5, 2014 In the movies, mummies are known for two things: fabulous riches and a frightening curse that brings fortune and treasure hunters to a bad end. But Hollywood didn't invent the curse concept. The mummy of King Tutankhamen gets credit for the curse of the pharaohs, but the myth's origin has been traced to a London stage act performed a hundred years before the boy king's tomb was excavated in 1922. In opening King Tut’s tomb, a phenomenon began all around the world. In research for this paper, I considered theories behind the “Mummy’s Curse,” a series of unexplainable, unfortunate, or tragic events that happened to the people who were present at the opening of Tutankhamen’s tomb. The first theory is that of Richard Carter, an archeologist, who is famous for discovering Tutankhamen's tomb. He is also famous for surviving the mummy's curse (at least until his death in 1939). He believed that tomb inscriptions sometimes contained protective formulas, messages meant to frighten off enemies from this world or beyond, but usually just wished the dead well. Another theory is that of scientist Mark Nelson of Australia, who assumed that because the curse was a "physical entity," it had power over only those physically present during the opening of a chamber or coffin. Nelson defined several specific dates of exposure: the...

...Ancient Egyptian era is still today one of the most mysterious topic to research about. That’s why there are many people eager to research about the history of the pyramids, mummies, and the Valley of the Kings to find the latest information that could change history. After seeing the video there were many interesting facts that I never knew about. Egyptian pyramids are the largest complex structure built in earth, and also one of the seven wonders in Ancient Egyptian. The pyramids were built to put their pharaoh’s tumbes and their possessions. Many people assume that pyramids were built tall so that after the death of their pharaoh’s they would be closer to heaven. Some people say that back then the pyramids had a smooth surface, but with erosion the surface has become very rough. The sphinx is 16 meters long and 20 meters high it’s a statue that astonish many people that goes to see it because it has a face of a human but a body of a animal. Many historians believe that it has a body of a cat because back then Egyptians had their cats as their idol. One of the most interesting places in Egypt is the Valley of the Kings this is where they would hide the pharaoh’s tumbes. Most of the tumbes in the Valley of the Kings are not finish. In Egypt one of the most important things that pharaoh’s built where their holy temple to worship their Gods. Karnak the largest temple ever built in earth that weights 3 tons and stands 1,965 feet tall is located in Egypt. Another fantastic...

...This paper was written for Humanities 111 at Strayer University. The class was taught by Professor Pigg. The purpose of this essay is to explain the mystery behind “the mummy’s curse.” I will first explain a theory that predates the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb. This concept by An Egyptologist Dominic Montserrat after a comprehensive search concluded that the concept began with a strange “striptease” during the 1820s where state mummies were unwrapped. This inspired a little known novelist named Jan Loudon Webb to write a book called “The Mummy”. This book was set in the 22nd century and featured an angry, vengeful mummy who came back to life and threatened to strangle the books here. Other novelists also developed stories along the lines of the mummies curse in both England and America. A second theory some believe to be “the curse of the pharaoh” which I believe to be an urban myth. There was a message outside of the tomb that was translated to say “Death Shall Come on Swift Wings to Him Who Disturbs the Peace of the King.” Legend has it that anyone who dared open the tomb would suffer the wrath of the mummy. There were a series of unfortunate events that suddenly began to affect the men who entered first. Some became ill, others died. Even as late as the 1970’s the curse remains active. While the exhibit was on tour in San Francisco, one policeman guarding Tutankhamen’s gold funerary mask claimed he had a mild stroke because of the curse. A judge...

...the trone. Queen Hatshepsut was king for twenty years. When she died Tuthmose III gained the trone and was not going to let her memory be honored. So he tried to erase her memory from Egypt. Some believe that Hatshepsut was buried with her father in KV20 then moved. The mummy of Thuthmosis I which was Hatshepsut’s father was transferred by Thuthmosis III and reburied again in a new tomb, KV 38. Thuthmosis III then had Hatshepsut moved to KV60 with her wet nurse. He ordered her name and image be removed from every part of Egypt. (Hawass) Others believe that AmenhotepII son of Thutmose III by a secondary wife moved Hatshepsut from KV20 into the tomb of her wet nurse KV60 in a attempt to assure his own uncertain right to seccession. Amenhotep II became co-regent of Thutmose III before his death, after his dad Thutmose III died he inherited a vast empire. At the end of the reign of Thutmose III and into the reign of his son, there was an attempt to remove Hatshepsut historical and pharaonic records. Her images was taken off stone walls, leaving obvious shapes of her in the artwork. It is also believed that Thutmose III was already dead when the Hatshepsut mounments where destoyed.

...Carter in the 20th Tomb in The valley of the kings (KV20) (Brown, C. 2009). The search continued for who this Pharaoh was, how did she die, and why did she chose to progressively alter her image to male. The Religion of Egypt at the time would not support a women ruler. Not outside of the confines of a regency until the “rightful” king reached maturity (Brown, C. 2009). So if she intended to rule, she would need the support of the priests and through them the people. This transformation may seem drastic and unstable to modern eyes but to myself I see the most impactful and original political spin job in all of history. Hatshepsut was a millennia ahead of her time. I will be brazen enough at lay at your feet my own theory, that her disappearance was not done to be malicious. But was done to protect her. Hatshepsut the only surviving child of her father Thutmose I and his queen Ahmose, she was forced to marry her half-brother (son of Thutmose I and a second wife) Thutmose II. Thutmose II died early in his reign, the royal couple only having a daughter who could not inherit the throne by virtue of her sex, The Crown would be passed to Thutmose III son to Thutmose II and a second wife. Since Thutmose III was still a child...

Tools, picture frames, phones, ipads, laptops, tumblers, books etc. “Tunji why, why” she sighed and for the first time she communicated something he had not heard since he started his “wrecking ball” career “I love you son no matter how much you cause me pain but it is really unfair to repay love with this amount of pain”, “Tunji when someone shows you love, you love right back”. On this note she ended her conversation with her 10 year old son and walked away. He did not move for a while, he felt sorry that mummy did not think that he loved her. He loved her, he drew a cartoon that looked like her on Monday and gave the character super powers because mummy could do so many things at the same time. “Okay I will let her know I love her” he thought in his mind. On his Eleventh birthday, Mummy was grinning from ear to ear celebrating Tunji her sweet little boy growing up to become a man. Tunji washed her car the day before and did not break any thing inside it. This sort of thing had been going on for a while now. “What happened to this boy” she thought to herself, “Where did “wrecking ball go”? she pondered. It might interest us to know that Tunji changed the day he thought in his mind to let Mummy know he loved her. Three months down the line, he was still breaking things on purpose but he...

...not. Later on in the short story, Brian Aldiss alludes to the fact that David is not a normal boy. “He went with her without protest into the house, his dark head bobbing at the level of her waist. At the age of three, he showed no fear of the ultrasonic dryer in the kitchen.”(p. 32 l. 28-32). It is not normal for a three-year-old boy to do as his mother says without protest or not to be afraid of the ultrasonic dryer, which properly is big and noisy. Through the short story, more and more tells us that the communication between Monica and David is almost non-existent. We see that when David is sitting in the nursery writing a letter to Monica, ““I’ve said –” He picked up his letter and stared hard at it. “I’ve said, ‘Dear Mummy, I hope you’re well just now. I love you….’” There was a long silence, until the bear said, “That sounds fine. Go downstairs and give it to her.” Another long silence. “It isn’t quite right. She...
