Ancient Nubia
Yesterday we read about Ancient Nubia which was south of Egypt. Nubia was also known as Kush. We discovered that Queen Tiye became the queen of Egypt when she married the pharaoh Amenhotep III. We also discovered that she was King Tut’s granny! Neat!
We also talked about the Aswan Dam and lightly discussed the controversies surrounding the dam. Basically, the dam caused the destruction of Nubia since it is now underwater, however, the dam has been able to decrease the flooding in the Egyptian area. That’s a tough thing…what’s right and what’s wrong? Of course that lead to a neat discussion.

There are lots of links out there, but this one was my favorite:
Black Kingdoms of the Nile at PBS…tons of info at this site. There are also videos, but I can’t figure out what’s going on with my RealPlayer so I can’t see them…and this kills me! Ya’ll know how I am about videos right now!
