In 1. did you mean that it wasn't built by hebrew slaves? and that there were cruel pharoas? I think thats how you spell it... I wonder how they know if they were or were not built by hebrew slaves. what do you think?

For the pyramids that they went into, you should be more specific rather than saying that he just went into one of the caves he discovered. That is one suggestion but other than that you kept it simple while retaining the right answers.

He was the first man kown to excavate in the royal cemetery known as the Valley of the Kings, was the first known Westerner to enter the sand-engulfed temple of Ramesses2nd at Abu Simbel, and he studied the pyramids at Giza, which allowed him to discover the entrance to the pyramid of Khafra. page 3
4. It was a mad dash for against eachother to compete for the best possible antiquities for their home countries. page 3
5. You would get all the ancient objects possible without at all being careful or considerate of there historical value. page 4
6. he was an archaeologist whose major contribution was a systematic approach that required the careful recording of objects as they were found, there conservation thereafter, and formal publication of the findings. page 4

Just on question 3, they say that belzoni to today’s scholars represents the worst of the early 19th century.
They didnt say what he represents.

Reply to Laura and Monika's Comment
I think you could have said more information on #6. I thought #5 was a good, well- developed answer.
Emma FitzGerald
Question 1, if the author was unbiased by saying Belzony was the worst of early historians... then how is that an example of historical bias? But that compared to the average collector he at least recorded what he did.
-Gonzalez
umm. that was to Kelly and Bianca.
Comment to
-gaby guzman
-emily bennett
In question no.1, that does seem like bias. But the question was in regard to historical bias- so the ruler not choosing to investigate one area - well I don't think it's a good example.
And no listed page number for the last question.
comment to Fabiola and Mallory
I thought that all your answers were really well developed and very detailed....I especially liked #3

Response to Donna Davidson and alexis vanotteren's answers to question 4:
You guys sort of left the question answered, but the answer was really vague. Why was it violent/ugly? I'm not trying to contradict you, just telling you what you could've done better. Hope you are not offended. =[

commenting on ava donny abby
you had good answers, but i felt that they weren't complete. in 1 you said something abou thow good the french were even though they stole stuff. what is that supposed to mean? im not trying to be like mean or nothing but i just don't understand it. could you clarify?
thanks,
Savannah Smith
i can't spell sorry!
-savannah smith
1. people say the Great Pyramid at Giza was built under the direction of the cruel pharaoh Cheops pg.1
2. because they thought ground up mummys were used as medicine. pg.1
3.he excavated the valley of the kings, he discovered the entrance to the pyramid of Khafra, and he found antiquities that made its way to england and other places. pg.3
4. it got so out of hand and there were so many threats of violence that in a819 Belzoni had to return. pg.3
5. he suck into mummy tunnels and used a battering ram to open the tombs. pg.3
6. he measured the pyramids pg.6

That tells me one of his accomplishments but it doesn't really tell me who he was.
sorry that was for #6
commenting on Nate, Matt, and James
I really like that in the last ? you included years. It helped me understand who William Matthew Flinders Petrie was.
commenting on Rueben Musonda
Ledwyn Mena
In #3 you listed a lot of good, descriptive things about Belzoni. He did a lot for egyptology and you mentioned pretty much all of it. Good Job.
commenting on Nate, Matt, and James... again
Wow you guys used quite a few dates. That was a really good idea. I wish i would've put more dates in my answers.
commenting on Mitch
Ok my other answer kinda stunk so yeah. I really like your first answer about the pharaoh. I bet if you asked the slaves who built the pyramids they'd say he was cruel. And if you asked the Egyptians they'd say that he was a great ruler
comment to Kara and De'andreah
on #6 you answered the question but i didn't think it was a very complete answer. william matthew flinders petrie did heighten the standards of archeology but you didn't say how how he did.
Kelly Drelles
Comment At Rueben and Ledwyn-
For number 4, you guys said that it ended in unneeded wars, but it actually never said that. It only said that it was very violent.
-Maddie
Comment to Zarah and Justice-
You guys said that, when mummies were ground up, they had medicinal purposes. I think what really happened was the Europeans only ASSUMED that they were beneficial to medicine, not that they actually had medicinal powers.
-Maddie
Response to Eulices Monterroso, Ethan Glatz
The answer for the first question
is a good legitimate answer, just believe i could have missed it. it has that info that the bible gives on the Hebrews being enslaved
well done
-RUEBEN MUSONDA
comment to
Breanna Thomsen, Emily Guy's post
Your answer for number 4, left me still wondering. its answered, yes, but some details like, how Europeans valued the antiquities for museums as well
-RUEBEN MUSONDA
ava doony abby i like how u guys used restation of the question so that i would know what u were answering, because for the most part if i hadent read the artilce i would have no idea what u were answering or even talking about
-Justice Mason
1. An example of historical bias presented in the article is that the pyramids were built by Hebrew slaves or were hollow granaries. (pg. 1)
2. Europeans would be interested in Egypt mummies because the ground up mummy powder was thought to have medicinal value and was also used in paints. (pg. 1)
3. Giovanni Battista Belzoni was a "strongman" in carnivals who eventually traveled to Egypt. He got stranded there and ended up accepted a job from the British to retrieve antiquities. That began his career as an explorer, excavator, and collector. Three of his many accomplishments include being the first man to excavate in the royal cemetery known as the Valley of the Kings, studying the pyraminds at Giza which allowede him to discover the entrance to the pyramid of Khafra, and being the first known Westerner to enter the temple of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel. (pg. 2 and 3)
4. The competition of antiquities was when very ugly and had many threats of violence. It eventually drove Belzoni back to England in 1819. (pg. 3)
5. The "snatch-and-grab" technique was when people would take whatever they wanted from sites and not record where they found it. (pg. 3)
6. William Matthew Flinders Petrie was a brilliant Englishman who went to Egypt in 1880 to measure the pyramids. He had a very long archaeology career and published an autobiographical book called Seventy Years in Archaeology. His major accomplishments include setting high standards for excavations, which required the careful recording of objects as they were found, their conservation after that, and finally formal publications of what they found. (pg. 4)

Commenting to Devan Jones and Fitsum E.
All your answers were very well thought out. Except for number 4. Number 4 was somewhat vague and not very descriptive. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to understand it better. Could you maybe clear it up? Thanks.
Commenting May Hogan and Joel VanDyke.
All of your answers were very complete. I especially liked number 4. You explained it a lot better than I did and it helped me learn. Thank you =D.
Commenting on Donna and Alexis.
For question number four, you could've explained what 'it' is and just have more detail.
But I liked your facts about Belzoni.
Comment to Tatiana Dixon and Emma FitzGerald
I liked how #3 is very detailed and well developed. You answered the question completely and did not forget anything vital.
-Mallory Caillaud-Jones

I really like all your answers. You give so much description on William Petrie, and Belzoni, you give introductions so people know what you are talking about. You're a really good writer.
Great job! :]
Comment to Tatiana Dixon and Emma FitzGerald
Actually, now that I think of it, it might have been better if you had included his idea of a revolutionary waterwheel. But otherwise, good job!!!
-Mallory Caillaud-Jones
Comment to Jacob Green and David Guel
For #2 you could have also included that it was a desired ingredient in some artists' paints.
Also, for #6 it would have been nice having more than one major accomplishment of William Matthew Flinders Petrie.
-Mallory Caillaud-Jones
Comment to Maddie Hoffman from Hannah Tripp
On the first question you mentioned the pharoah and how he really wasn't cruel like someone said; you were one of the only ones I had seen when I was looking at these that mentioned that, and it was a very good example of bias. Good job.
Sorry, that was Hannah Tripp in the last comment.
1. The hebrew slaves did a lot of handiwork on the pyramid.pg.1
2.The europeans were interested because the powder that was thoght to have medicanal benfits and there was a desired ingrediant in some artists paints.pg.1
3.He was a very large man he acomplished a couple things some were, was the first known to exvacate in the royal cemetery known as the vallley of the kings, 2nd he was the first to known the westener to enter the sand-engulfed temple of ramesses the 2nd at Abu simbel, one last thing studied the pyramids at giza, which allowed him to discover the enterance to the pyrimid of khafra.pg 3
4.It was often pretty ugly there was threats of violence .pg 3
5.That you would publish your maps and discoveries and a lot more information on books.pg3
6.He was a archeoligest who would measure the pyramids he published a book called Sventy Years in Archeology.pg4

But good job otherwise.
May Hogan
COMMENTING TO Zarah Austin&Justice Mason
QUESTION 1:
Idon't agree that the author prefers the Egyptians prior to it having visitors. That isn't a good example of bias because history book authors have to write unbiased facts, if they want their info to be credible. To me, a good example of historical bias is that the Great Pyramid at Giza was built by the "cruel" pharaoh Cheops. (We don't know that).
~Fabiola Enriquez
COMMENTING ON NATE,MATT, and JAMES
I liked the answers to all of the questions because they were thorough and didn't take up much space. The dates on #6 helped me know moare about petrie. However overall it would have been better if there was more info on the race for antiquities. Ex: The articfacts were placed in home&museums.
In response to Laura Johnson and Monika Steffens, good job on question 5, I think that's a very thorough answer. Also, in response to Yasmen Wellsand and Tatiana Padron, I like your answer to question 3. It states what the articles opinion on what kind of person he was, and then lists facts to support it. Zac Abid.

I like how your vocabulary was very broad and you finely detailed your answers, explaining them all thoroughly. I quickly undetstood where you were coming from and how you came to your conclusions.

For Eulices and Ethan,
For question number two, you could have added that the Europeans used the mummy remains for paints also. Very nice job for question six also, as it is detailed and explains it all so well.

You did a very good job on explaing
number 6 had alot of details, and explaned all we needed to know aobut him
-Ledwyn Mena
To Yasmin, And Tatatiana
You Guess Coud Have Explained the snatch and grab tatic a little better because it wasnt a race but looting the pyramids for anything that looked rare, but besides that you guys did a good job
-Ledwyn
chomba #4-I didn't think of it that way. Thats a good answer.Good job.
to zarah and justice- for #3 you used a lot of details. It really helped me figure out who he was.It was really well done.
nate #5- You explained this very well. Since no one recorded the places of the things we don't know much about the origin. great job.
To: Rueben Musonda & Ledwyn Mena
Your first question brought up a good point of how different perspectives can change how people look at history.
although you could have added a little more to how it effects us.

On # 3: Giovanni was one of the most intirging characters in all archeology.
I thought that was pretty interesting that you thought of him as an intirging character of archeology.

Comment to Whitney/Jazzy I really Like your third question. It's very disriptive. Laura Johnson
for may and joel-
i believe that you answer for question number one was really good because even tho i read the artical i never noticed the "biasness" (if thats even a word) of herodotus and the pharoh i thought it was very clever that you found that!
-Emily B.
Fabiola and mallory-
i think that all of yourr answers were very well explained and i think you really had a clear understanding of what was going on.

Response to David Guel and Jacob Green:
Good job on number two, I think you guys thought it out well. The answer showed that you understood the question perfectly.
Response to Eulices Monterroso, Ethan Glatz:
Good thinking on number one, it is true that the pyramid work is often viewed as work by the hebrew.
~Ledwyn Mena
Commenting on Megan- I like how your answers are very thorough and you explain who Giovanni Battista Belzoni was.
-Garrett
Commenting on Mitch- For #6 your answer wasn't really thorough and didnt tell much about William Matthew Flinders Petrie.
-Garrett
commenting on mitchs i like your number 1 and like maddies hoffman # 6 its very clear and its right!!
Comment to David and Jake, your answer to number one doesn't really explain a bias because just beacuse some people think that is true, doesn't mean that it was recorded historically or written that way in the article.
Comment to Maddie Hoffman, it specifically staes in the article that there is no specific evidence of cruelty- so i think that means there's no bias there.
All my answers were farely similiar to emily's and breanna's.

To jazzy and whiteney:
i thought your answers were put together well adn you guys justdidnt copy form the book.
lexie v.
i want to comment on eulices on #6 i thought that u explained it very well
i felt that Donny & Abby could have explained them selfs a little bit more on #1
Savannah, Maria, and Alison
You answered everything correctly, but Next Time try to be a little less word for word.
-Joel V.D.
Jharid/Haley
On Question #3, you could have said more about Belzoni before he was an explorer, and why he went to Egypt.
-Joel V.D.
Megan-
Your answer for #3 was very, very thorough. Good for you.
-Joel V.D.
I'm nitpicking so I don't say "good job" all the time.
Megan, your answer for number six was well spoken and well thought out to the point you knew what you were talking about. Good job.
zarah and justice;
answer to number five, yeah you could dig around, but your answer wasn't specific enough, could they of just dug around in the middle of a field?
zara, i agree that europeans would use mummy ashes for those reasons.i didnt think that reason of a historical bias.that is a simple way of describing th snatch and grab tactic.
hannah shih, i thought your answers werewell developed and complete.
-Tatiana Dixon
Commenting on May Hogan an dJoel VanDyke: I thionk for number 5 you guys should've been a little more specific.
Commenting on Fabiola Enriquez and
Mallory Caillaud-Jones: I thought your replies to the answers were reasonable yet factual ( nice details)
Answer the following questions from your point of view of the articel "Rediscovering the Past". At the end of your answer, please include the page number where you found the answer. Remember; after you are done you will have a week to respond to three other individuals.
Zac Abid Alex McDonald
1. Give an example of historical bias presented in the article "Rediscovering the Past".
One bias was how when this article was wrote, they said that many digs for artifacts were informal and destructive. I don’t believe that all diggers were destructive. Pg. 4
2. Why would Europeans be interested in Egypt Mummies?
Europeans would be interested in Egyptian Mummies because they were believed to have medicinal benefits when they’re ground up into powder. Mummy powder also was a good ingredient for paint. Pg. 1
3. Who was Giovanni Battista Belzony? Mention 3 of this many accomplishments
Giovanni Battista Belzony was the first man known to excavate in the royal cemetery, the Valley of the Kings, was the first known Westerner to enter the temple of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel and studied the pyramids at Giza, assisting hi to discover the entrance to the pyramid of Khafra. Pg. 3
4. Describe the competition of antiquities?
There was fierce competition for Egyptian antiquities. When Napoleon brought his army to Egypt along with many scholars, the English attacked and took many of the antiquities from the French. After that, Egypt didn’t want foreigners coming into their country and taking their countries artifacts until Muhammad Ali allowed it. Pg. 2
5. Explain the "snatch-and-grab" tactic
The snatch-and-grab tactic was basically when you broke into a tomb, and grabbed as much as you could. The snatch-and-grabbers wouldn’t record their findings. Pg 3.
6. Who was William Matthew Flinders Petrie? What major accomplishments can be attributed to him?
William Matthew Flinders Petrie was a brilliant Englishman that went to Egypt in 1880 to study Pyramids, eventually setting the standard for archeological excavation. When excavating, he recorded where he found the artifacts, made sure they were sent somewhere safe, and published his findings. He eventually wrote Seventy Years in Archeology. Pg. 4.

zac- very complete. great, but kinda too wordy,
jonathon- okay answers, but they werent completely it. at least, not what i thought she wanted.
megan- right answers, but try no to go word-for-word.
1. Describe why mummification was called "The cult of the dead".The reason why it was referred to as “The cult of the dead” was because mummification is the process of preserving a dead body.2. How important was mummification in regards to your enjoyment of paradise?The Egyptians believed that preservation of the body was essential preservation of the body was essential to enjoy the afterlife or paradise. The devout came to believe this and mummification became.3. Describe the embalming techniques used by Ancient Egyptian.The body was soaked in resin sometimes honey: this hides the decay of organs. Really strong perfumes concealed the lingering smell. And all of the organs are taken out of the body (and placed in jars).4. Explain what "ancient plastic surgery" was.Ancient plastic surgery was basically an embalmers job. They would move across the body making tiny cuts and stuffing tiny wads of linen inside the body (just like silicone).Whitney Burney
1. The pyramids, for example, might have been viewed as the handiwork of Hebrew slaves or maybe hollow granaries that relate to the bibical story of Joseph.
Page 1 Paragraph 3
2. A demand grew in Europe for ground-up Egyptian mummies because the resulting powder was believed to have medicinal benefits and also was a desired ingredient in some artist' paints.
Page 1 Paragraph 6
3. Giovanni BattistaBelzoni was a large man who accepted a commission from the British consul in Cairo to retrieve for the glory of Britain a large stone head from a temple about 400 miles upstream. He was able to do that and began his career as an explorer, excavator, and collector. Three of his accomplishments were:
-he was the first man known to excavate in the royal cemetary known as the Valler of the Kings
-he was the first known Westerner to enter the sand engulfed temple of Ramesses 2 at Abu Simbel
-retrieved numerous objects of antiquity, both large and small, which made their way back to England and elsewhere.
Page 2 Paragraph 6
Page 3 Paragraph 1..(2)..??
4. The competition for antiquities was often ugly, and there were even threats of violence.
Page 3 Paragraph 2
5. The average collector would quickly find and take the objects that would make money and not even take time to record the discoveries for historical information.
Page 3 Paragraph 3
6. William Matthew Flinders Petrie was an Archaeologist who came to Egypt to measure the pyramids ad test a theory that their measurments embodied a mystical calendar. His accomplishments were:
- he wrote a book called Methods and Aims in Archaeology and published many volumes
-trained many of the better archaeologists of his day
-helped formulate modern archaeological methods for excavating in Egypt and elsewhere.
