Pharaohs created monuments so that they would be remembered and respected by their people. Also Caesar created a monument for Cleopatra to show her how much he loved her. Pharaohs also created temples for their people to keep them happy and satisfied. I also believe that they built m
onuments to represent gods and goddesses to show how powerful they are. If I were a Pharaoh I would definitely create monuments so that my people remember me and the gods.
One of the many monuments that we have today are the twin towers in Malaysia which are a bit like some monuments in Egypt. One reason that the twin towers were built was to show case Malaysia, for a short amount of time they were the tallest towers in the world. This made people recognize Kuala Lumpur much more than it was before a bit like the pyramids. The pyramids showcase Egypt just like how the twin towers showcase Malaysia, they make their countries a huge tourist attraction. One of the three Cleopatra's needles are showcased in London and is a huge tourist attraction. This is an example of how monuments from Egypt can help other countries become a tourist attraction,
In our partnerships we used google documents to collaborate, using google docs help us a lot. One of the best things about using google doc's is that you can both work on it at the same time just on two different computers. Also if you need to catch up on some of the assignment at home than you can just go to google documents. Unlike word where you would have to use a thumb drive to be able to work on it at home. I think in the future that everyone will use google doc's so that we can all collaborate constructively.
Doing this assignment helped me learn much more about Ancient Egypt and the people who lived their. Also we were able to learn about the different gods and goddesses and how the Egyptians worshipped them. People where put at different levels of living and how the Pharaoh and his family had a luxurious life and the hundreds of thousands of peasants did not have such a good life.
During this project you had to be able to work well with your partner otherwise this project would be really challenging. Luckily me and my partner worked together brilliantly and got our project finished in time and neatly. What helped was that one of us was logic and the other one was gestalt. So we had both sides of the brain working on this project.
During this assignment me and my partner thought creatively to make our movie interesting. We also collaborated constructively together on our google doc writing the script. Finally we learned enthusiastically by always staying positive during working together and we never gave up. I think that Hime and I did a great job on our movie and would love to work with her again.
Here is the movie that Hime and I made on Cleopatra.
