Description

• We’re talking about five awesome monuments you should know about from Egyptian history.
• And, of course, we have to start with the Great Pyramid of Giza.
• Believe it or not, Khufu is NOT just a baboon.
• English just doesn’t phlegm as well as other languages.
• It’s pretty impressive that a PYRAMID was the largest man-made structure for such a long time.
• You can’t talk about the Great Pyramid without mentioning in the Sphinx!
• Are there differences between the Greek and Egyptian sphinxes?
• It’s important to acknowledge the dark history behind a lot of historical monuments.
• Let’s travel to Karnak next. Have you heard of this one before?
• It has so much historical significance, it’s wild!
• If you haven’t heard of Luxor, you’ve probably heard of Thebes.
• Do you remember talking about Aten before?
• There’s so much duality when it comes to the gods.
• Wait, HOW many pharaohs contributed to Karnak?
• There’s a reason why we’re talking about Hatshepsut and that reason is because she’s awesome.
• What’s a mortuary temple and what purpose does it serve?
• Okay, it would be a little cool to have a cult (not THAT kind of cult).
• Let’s learn a little more about Hatshepsut because she is FASCINATING.
• We’d love to learn more about her through a queer lens.
• Let’s learn more about Luxor/Thebes.
• Instead of being dedicated to a specific god or pharaoh, it was dedicated to kingship in general.
• Everyone wanted to say they were crowned here, even if they never made it that far (looking at you, Alex).
• The chapel inside changed a lot over time, for better or worse.
• You’ve probably heard of the Valley of the Kings, but do you know its official name?
• We’re learning so many new words this week!
• The Valley of the Monkeys is just as interesting, too!
• If you’re wondering, yes, this is where King Tut is buried.
