The sphinx has a head as tall as the White House and is as long as a football field! It is very interesting to me because I think that the sphinx is very symbolic to the Egyptians, I also thought that it was very awesome that it was THAT LONG!! Why did the Egyptians make the sphinxes so long?

I enjoyed the part were it let us explore the tombs in the city's and showed us the video on Egyptian bows.I enjoyed it because it was cool to show us what the tombs or temples were like in Egypt you don't get too see a temple or tomb everyday.Is there a similarity on all the temples or tombs?

I think the most interesting part of the website was having to be able to look inside of the pyramids by pressing go interactive!
It was interesting because i guess ive always wanted to see the inside of pyramids that it lets you look in side of.
What if they have never made any temples or pyramids? would people be buried in the ground?

The most interesting part of the website was that there were videos and an interacting of the sphinx. I thought that was the most interesting parts becuase they showed you and told you alot of interestings pictures. A Fat question that I have is. Why do you think the egyptians made the Sphinx that shape.

1. My favorite picture was of the Inner Hall inside the Temple of Romose

2. It was really interesting how it looked like all of the walls where were broken down easily.

3.How did all the Temple of Romose get so destroyed?

Cooper Waite, 11/20/13, I just like commenting on the blog, because there's like a million conversations going on at the same time, Why do priests, pilgrims, and pharaohs go on a very long journey.

It shows all of the pictures of the pyramids and tells about it and all that stuff.
Why did they build the pyramid.

I like how the egyptions painted the walls in the tombs and since they dont know how to write the expressed their feelings in paintings.

I think the most interesting part of the website was being able to walk in tombs and get a 360 view. I think it was the most interesting because not every website lets you have a 360 life like view of a tomb. In your opinion do the tombs look alike?
