Today, we had our speeches presented and I learned lots of things and found lots of things very interesting.

Everyone was doing different people so I learned lots of thing about Ancient Egyptians, although I don’t remember everything. I learned the most in how to give a speech and how we should present it. Some people have just read their speech paper for most of their speech and some people didn’t look at the audience that much. Or other people spoke too quickly and not clear that audience couldn’t understand what they were saying. I was being careful with those but I didn’t think that I put enough expression in my speech. Lots of people put expression in their speech and I have missed that so that one thing I want to be careful next time.

From all the speeches, I thought the costumes everyone was wearing were interesting and I think it made their speeches more interesting and also funny. The thing that I liked and thought interesting was that lots of people were related to each other and that they had a different point of view. For example, Daryl was Horus and Nick was being Seth. Seth is Horus’s uncle. Daryl (Horus) said Seth was evil and mean, but then Nick (Seth) said he was little evil but not as bad as Horus. Same things kept happening and I thought it was very interesting because when you are giving speech, you are trying to tell people that you are a good person and nobody wouldn’t want to tell the audience that he/she was being evil all the time. Lots of people said that we had to worship them (as a god) and some people even said you’ll die without me and I think that’s because everyone is forcing you to think that they are the important and famous people. I thought everything was interesting though.

What do you imagine if you think of Isis? I am Isis and I’m Egyptian god. My life was very interesting, exciting, and very nice. I was very popular in lots of people in Ancient Egypt.

I am sister and wife of Osiris and Hours is my son. My parents are Geb and Nut. I also have another brother called Seth and he was mean to us all the time. In one myth, Seth killed my brother Osiris and I had collected all his body parts to make him alive again. Since then, I became a protector of living and dead. The reason I live in Ancient Egypt near Nile River was that Osiris and I came down from heavens for human with gifts. I wasn’t very special and I was just like other god that time.

After I came from heavens, I helped people in many ways because that was our gifts for human. First, I showed them how to harvest and process grains. Then I showed them the laws, institution of marriage, and institution of how to worship the gods. I have also taught lots of women how to tame a man so those women can live with them. Since then, many people started to worship me.

From all of the thing I had showed to human, I became very popular. People said that I brought happiness to them and they started to worship me not just as a god, but as a godmother. I was invited to lots of garden parties and I became one of the important sources for Pharaoh, the ruler of Ancient Egypt’s power. I have even traveled to Rome. I also got some temples of me in Egypt and Nubia. Then I became most popular god and also a popular goddess from ancient Egyptian Mythology.

Since I helped lots of people on Earth and brought happiness to them, I became very famous and popular. Although I’m a god, I am still treated like real person and was very important to Ancient Egyptians. From all the mythologies and ledgens, I am worshiped by many people from Ancient time to today.
