So I watched the awesome video of our 7 wonders projects! It was great! So many Pyramids of Giza and Eifel Towers! And there where quite a few Stone hedges there too. I also watched the awakening powerpoint you made. (The one for the Almanac.)

I like that we looked into the ancient world wonders for little while. Found some cool structures there, and then we moved on to the recalled world wonders and also the "now" world wonders. I also like the music selection you chose. It sounded like China or Japan music, nice and calming. Great job to everyone on their projects! :)

Is this Alexander's tomb?!It now appears likely that Ptolemy adapted a vacant tomb that had been prepared by and for the last native Pharaoh of Egypt, Nectanebo II. However, this Pharaoh had fled south to Ethiopia, when Egypt had been invaded by the Persians in 343BC, so he never had the opportunity to occupy his tomb. The site of the prospective tomb was a chapel within the temple complex of the Serapeum in the cemetery area of ancient Memphis at Saqqara. It lay at the end of a mile-long avenue of sphinxes. The Serapeum complex was rediscovered by Auguste Mariette in 1850-1851 by excavating the sands away from the sphinxes one by one. Guarding the entrance to the chapel of Nectanebo II, Mariette discovered an incongruous semicircle of life-size Greek statues of poets and philosophers, which appear to date to the time of Ptolemy. Some of them can be identified, including Pindar, whose house and descendants Alexander had saved at Thebes, Homer, who was Alexander's favourite poet, and Plato, who had been the mentor of Alexander's tutor, Aristotle. Could these statues have been erected to honour Alexander's tomb?
