Egyptian Mythology Arcade!

The Ancient Egyptians were polytheistic, meaning they believed in many gods. Like the Greeks, they believed in gods for each specific aspect of life. God of the dead, god of the sky, god of flooding, etc. There's tons of them! So I thought I would give you the Egyptian Mythology Arcade to help you learn and remember all these gods and goddesses.

The Fire Suit of Deltron

Here are two fire suits of Deltron: The Realm of the Nile. The fire suit protects against Napalm if it is being worn by one member of the Pyramid. When the Napalm falls and the heat rises, the fire suit will keep you cool and safe. Forged by the hands of the Keeper of the Realm himself, this fire suit is powerful enough to withstand an unlimited amount of Napalm blasts. One pyramid in each class earned one today. But how long will they keep it?

Andy Floats down the Nile River

Join Andy as he floats down the Nile river. What will he see? A lot, that's for sure.
The animation doesn't work with Google Drive Presenations, so you will not see Andy move. However, you will still be able to get the idea of what's happening and review what Andy sees along the way.

Piecing Egypt Together

Puzzle Badge

You will be working collaboratively with your Pyramid to create a great document about ancient Egypt. There are many interesting topics of ancient Egypt, too many to tackle alone. That is why you will be working with your Pyramid because together, you can conquer this project. For this project, you will use Google Drive and create one document, which you will all work on together, but at your own computer. Outside of class, you can still work on the document on any computer/device that has the internet. Now, there is no walls keeping us contained. We are free to work when and where we choose.

WSG Live! Mesopotamia

Tomorrow you will face Mike Tyson, aka the test over Mesopotamia. On the night before you face the "end guy," it is a good idea to get some last minute help from the Keeper of the Realm, to load your arsenal with Mesopotamia knowledge so you are ready to knock (him) it out. We shall use a new tool for our WSG Live Event due to some technical difficulties with commenting at the moment. 

100% Badge awarded to any individuals who score a 100% on the test. Go for that badge!
