Tomorrow we will be reviewing word parts, and then we will
be heading straight into mythology. Mythologies have been around for thousands
of years and have defined an entire culture of people in regards to their
traditions, religion, way of life, etc. For this week, we will be reading a few
short myths from the ancient Egyptian world, to Greek, to Native American.
Here is a clip about what mythology is and how it covers a
range of topics, such as creation, life, death, purpose, etc.
Since we will begin covering an Egyptian myth tomorrow involving Amun and his daughter, Tefnut, I wanted to introduce you guys to how they were created. What is so interesting about Amun (also known as Amun Ra or Ra) is that he basically created himself out of sheer will power. Isn't that awesome?
I have always been fascinated with Egyptian mythology and I hope everyone is looking forward to a productive day tomorrow!
