Interviews (done by Justin and king tut)
Me: So what was it like to rule Egypt and do all that kingly stuff?
King Tut: It was a awesome feeling. Bossing adults around feels awesome.
Me: Well, how did you feel about your father trying to change Egypt's religion and that important stuff?
King Tut: I felt like my dad was a dud. He let Aten(the god) take over him.
Me: How did you get popular
King Tut: I wasn't popular because I became pharaoh or because I was 9 years old when I became it. I got popular because My tomb was found untouched.
Me: Well thanks for your info!

Q: How did ancient Egypt become united? How did leadership affect the uniting of ancient Egypt?
A: Ancient Egypt got united because King Menes/Narmer overthrew the government of the northern delta in about 3,200 BC and started the first dynasty. This was beneficial to the Pharaoh (or King) because when Egypt united, the Pharaoh took control of all the resources and people in the Upper and Lower Egypt which gave he/she more power than they already had. So basically, after Egypt conquers, the pharaoh takes control.
Q: How was ancient Egypt governed? How were religion and politics connected?
A: In ancient Egypt, the priests lived under gods and goddesses that is why the priests are so powerful. They can supposedly "speak to the gods." The government also played a big part in ancient Egypt's rules and stuff. The government made lots of laws and you could get killed by them.
Q: How did ancient Egyptian rulers affect trade, business and conflict?
A: Since a pharaoh is the most powerful being in all of ancient Egypt, it's obvious how easy it would be to get what you want. Like in a war, if someone doesn't obey you, you can chop their head off, then ask another person to do it. So if you want something from another group of people, send a army and go get it.
Q: Use examples/evidence to support your answer to the question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of power?
A: Having power is good and bad at the same time. You can have your personal servants and bodyguards all the time, but you might get spoiled or corrupted cause of all the possibilities you have.

As you can see here in this statue of Hatshepsut, you can see that the statue looks like a man. Hatshepsut did this because women weren't really respected that much in ancient Egypt so she had to look like a man.
