I've been having a great time with my Anthropology field class at UAF. I found lots of interesting things such as ceramics, Rusty Nails, and other objects. I've also learned a lot during my time in the class. Let's just all hope the rest of my time here goes swell too.
Wish me luck everyone.
Egyptian Mythology: The Creation Story and the Story of Re
From the beginning of time, before there was any land of Egypt, all was darkness and there was only the watery chaos, called Nun. The world was originally a dark, endless chaos of primitive waters.

The rock that tells of the story of The Seven Years' Famine through the hieroglyphs inscribed on it is known as The Famine Stela.

In the days before Re had left the earth, before he had begun to grow old, his great wisdom told him that if the goddess Nut bore children, one of them would end his reign among men. So Re laid a curse upon Nut - that she should not be able to bear any child upon any day in the year.
The Pillars of Equestria finally returned!
