Hey you......yah you!! Wanna learn a new language? Well, here take this. It will help you on your journey. It's the rosetta stone and it is awesome!!! It help to translate two forms of hyroglyphics that were unknown from a Greek language as the derivative. It is a large and heavy textbook to carry!!! Found this picture here. Comments:

The three pyramids of giza; a marvelous sight to behold!!!! Each built for three pharohs: Khufu, Khafre, and Menkala. (say that three times fast:
1. KHUFUKHAFREMENKUIIUYT,  
2. KHUFUKDSSAEGBHYMYHMENKGDSAAERGH,
3. HSRNDXJBFGK_BJHF RW--7t t kvugku go78bc7t478h6dx48ncxthfnukfi8
I GIVE UP!!!!!!)
Yes, they truely are inspiring. Once flourishing with shiny limestone on the bank of the nile. They housed the great pharohs of old. The base of the largest one is 466 ft. long and all are perfectly symetrical. I found this super-duper picture here. What do you think?

Seems effective, until they have a power hose for their weapon of choice. this one is a whopp'n 240 fett long and 66 feet tall. You may now procede to clap and cheer. I found this picture here. Please, share your thoughts!!

Let's play charades!!!! UHHHHH!!!! (12 hours later) UHHHHH!!!! What am I? I'm the Colossi of Memnon, of course. These great statues used to moan at sun rise and sun set because the temperature difference allowed for the stone to expand and contrast making a sound. HOW COOL IS THAT. The ancients thought they were moaning at the pharoh everyday, magically..... :( ..... But what do they know? Apparently alot about cool rocks!! They don't moan anymore however, which makes me sad. :(  I got this sweet image here. What do you thinken???

The great stuatues of Abu Simbel!!!!! Made by the illustrious Ramses II, for the illustrious Ramses II, of the illustrious Ramses II. You know what the best part of this is? The ENTIRE mountain was moved by him and his slaves so that it would not get water errosion from the nearby lake. WHAT A BOSS!!!!! His tiny wife and kids are all next to his legs in the statues. He obviously thought highly of them.The inside is the picture below. The outside is the facade entrance to look super-duper. But the inside obviously had some nice interior design.
It's got that nice sacrificial vive to it that everyone enjoys. I found both these pictures here and here respectively. What do you think of them????!!!!!!!!!
