I would be ramese 2 of egypt. I just think his life would have been facinating. \n\nHe ruled 50 odd years so to have the power and his knowledge (he was said to be the greatest and wisest of all egyptian pharoahs) would be a thrill.

Ancient Egypt was divided into two kingdoms, known as Upper and Lower Egypt. The Pharaohs were known as the rulers of the Two Kingdoms, viz. upper and lower Egypt. While the labelling of "upper" and "lower" might seem counterintuitive, with Upper Egypt in the south and Lower Egypt in the north, the terminology derives from the flow of the Nile from the highlands of East Africa (upstream) to the Mediterranean Sea (downstream).\n\nLower Egypt is to the north and is that part where the Nile Delta drains into the Mediterranean Sea. Upper Egypt is to the south from the Libyan desert down to just past Abu Simbel.\n\nToday there are two principal channels that the Nile takes through the river's delta: one in the west at Rashid and one in the east at Damietta. In ancient times, Pliny the Elder (N.H. 5.11) said that upon reaching the delta the Nile split into seven branches (from east to west): the Pelusiac, the Tanitic, the Mendesian, the Phatnitic, the Sebennytic, the Bolbitine, and the Canopic.\n\nUpper Egypt was known as Ta Shemau and was divided into twenty-two areas called nomes. The first nome was roughly where modern Aswan is and the twenty-second was at modern Atfih, just to the south of Cairo.\n\nThe capital of the Middle Kingdom was at a place known as The Fayyum. This is an area of about 850 mile² (2,200 km²) of land that are wartered by an offshoot of the Nile called the Bahr Yusuf.\n\nLower Egypt was known to the Pharaohs as Ta-Mehu. This part of the country was also divided into nomes; however, as the place was mostly undeveloped scrubland, the organisation of the nomes underwent several changes. Ultimately there were twenty nomes and the first of these was at Memphis. Taken together, the Two Kingdoms formed Kemet ("the black"), the name for the dark soil deposited by the Nile floodwaters. The desert was called Deshret ("the red"), c.f. Herodotus "Egypt is a land of black soil...We know that Libya is a redder earth." (Histories, 2:12). However, Champollion the Younger (who deciphered the Rosetta Stone) in Expressions et Termes Particuliers (Expressions and Particular Terms) claims that Kmt does not actually refer to the soil, but to a negroid population in the sense of "Black Nation".\n\nEgyptian history is divided into periods that reflect the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under one king. Intermediate periods of Egyptian history were times when Upper and Lower Egypt were not unified under one king.

Brief history of Cairo (capital of Egypt):\nIn 968 under the caliphate of Al-Muezz, A Fatimid army headed by General Gawhar Al-Sekelli (the Sicilian) commanded the invasion of Egypt.\nSymbolizing the change of the rule, Gawhar managed to build a new capital called "Al-Qahera," after planet "mars." The name also means "vanquisher" in Arabic language. It was corrupted by European merchants to the name "Cairo," the same capital of our present-day.

AHAHa I must admit I said Moses at first, even though, of course it was Noah. I also tried it on my sister, and she said Moses too. It's funny how it makes you automatically think Moses eh? =D

Egypt, as many people of the world refer to the country today, is a derivative of this ancient name.  Even today, people who speak one language often change the spelling of words in  another language because of the difficulty they may have in pronouncing some of the sounds of that foreign language.  Hence, in pronouncing Hwt-ka-Ptah, the Greeks changed this world to Aegyptus (Aigyptos), which they used in their literature as the name of an Egyptian King (perhaps Ramesses, though in a fictional manner), the Nile River and for the country itself.  We find the word used by Homer in his famous "Odyssey.  We believe the Greeks had difficulties with the Egyptian pronunciation of the letter "H" at the beginning and end of Hwt-ka-Ptah.\nHer geography is unique. Covering well over a million square kilometers, Ethiopia is about twice as large as Kenya or Texas, or about five times as large as the United Kingdom. Its magnificent landscape ranges from desert areas to forested highlands. At 4,620 meters, Mount Ras Deshen is Ethiopia's highest peak, and Africa's fourth highest, but twenty mountains rise to more than 4,000 meters. The waters of the Abay River, or Blue Nile, feed Lake Tana and flow into the Nile. Most of the Nile's waters originate in Ethiopia.\n\nEthiopia is generally considered Africa's oldest continuously identifiable nation, though Egypt's written history is older and more complete. Ethiopia is landlocked today. Eritrea (independent since 1993), Djibouti and parts of Somalia, share much of their ancient, medieval and modern histories with Abyssinia, as Ethiopia was formerly known. Yemen is nearby. Across the Red Sea is the mountainous Asir Province of Saudi Arabia. Asir, which lies in Asia, has a rugged topography not unlike that of Ethiopia's uplands, and EthiopiansMap are one of the province's larger ethnic minorities. In times past, Ethiopia bordered Egypt, encompassing parts of what is now Sudan.\n\nEthiopia is home to the lion, leopard and cheetah, but to many other species as well. A short list would include the giraffe, elephant, rhinoceros, bushpig, warthog, and various varieties of ibex (including the rare walia), duiker, antelope, gazelle, zebra, buffalo, monkey, baboon, hyena, jackal and wolf. Some of these creatures exist in larger populations in neighboring Kenya, but Ethiopia probably boasts more wild mammal species than any other country in the world. Many are dwarfed by the ostrich, one of Ethiopia's 800 bird species. Some of these animals are unique to Ethiopia. Ethiopia's plant life is equally diverse.\n\nThe first Ethiopians had names like Lucy Australopithecus Afarensis, Australopithecus Africanus and Homo Habilis. They were the predecessors of homo sapiens, our species. Ethiopia's Great Rift Valley and other regions have yielded finds which indicate that this nation may well be the birthplace of the human race.\n\nThere are two possible origins of the name Ethiopia. Tradition says it derives from the name of Etiopik, descendant of the Biblical Noah. Linguists believe it comes from the Greek expression for "sunburned faces." Abyssinia, another ancient name for this land, probably comes to us from the Arabic habishat, which in this context refers to the country's "mixed" population.\n\nEarly History\n\nThere is no doubt that humans have inhabited Ethiopia since the dawn of recorded history, as indicated in early cave drawings. The more modern Ethiopians are not a single racial or ethnic group, a fact reflected in the diversity of Lioness and cubtheir languages. Despite some twentieth-century European attempts to present them as dark Caucasians, Ethiopians are predominantly Negroid.\n\nSome Ethiopian peoples, such as the Surma, were clearly tribal and semi-nomadic, while others were more reliant on agriculture. It's difficult to generalize about such a complex ethnic mix of peoples.\n\nTop of Page\n\nYet, Ethiopia is the o

Moses was said to be the one who God revealed his personal name.YHWH(there was only one) Gods statement in Exodus 3:14 'eyeh 'eyeh (I AM WHO I AM, I WILL BE WHO I WILL BE, I CAUSE TO BE WHAT IS).

Isis, in Egyptian mythology, was married to her brother Osiris (as Hera was married to her brother Zeus). Isis means the queen, in Egyptian. Osiris was killed by his enemy, the god Set, and torn apart, and his body was scattered all over Egypt. Isis mourned for her husband/brother, and travelled all over Egypt finding the pieces of his body. Then she put them back together again into Osiris, and brought him to life again. They then made their child, the god Horus. When Horus grew up, he fought Set with his mother's magic spells.
