Pharaoh Blogging

Todat we learned that the pharaoh was the most powerful person in all of ancient Egypt. What do you think it would be like to have that kind of power?

Reflect on these questions:
  • What would you do if you were the most powerful person in the world?
  • Would being the most powerful person in the world be a good thing or a bad thing? Why?

1. I would hold an International Pie Fest. The pie fest would be sort of like the Olympic Games. Countries would compete to see who could make the best pie. I think America would win.
2. I think it would be a bad thing because you’d get blamed for everything. Like you’d get blame for high gas prices, low pay for workers and stuff like that.

1. If was Pharaoh, I would want to make every one do the right thing. I would also do anything & everything I want!

2. Sometimes Being a Pharaoh could be a bad thing. Most people that are pharaohs are super power hungry.

1. If I was the most powerful man, I would free all the slaves and give them a house and a job with some money. Secondly I would make my home in Pennsylvania. I would make more Olympic games. I would have people making and creating new technology for the world to use.


2. Being the most powerful person could be a bad thing or a good thing because of all the jealous people trying to kill you for your power. It could also be a good thing because you could also have high security all around you where ever you go.

1: I would probably make it so you would only have to pay of what you made to taxes. Instead of half of what you made. I would also make it so you can’t bail someone out of jail. They should suffer the consequences.


2: I think being the most powerful person would be a good thing. Because you could have what ever you wanted when ever you wanted it. Also because you would never get in trouble you could get away with anything.

If I was the ruler of the world I would have a country wide pie contest where you select the states best pie maker and make a pie that your state eats a lot. I don’t think that being the most powerful person would be good because you’d get blamed a lot. And there would be no slaves.

Jared, #1 If I was the pharaoh and I had the power of the world I would say if anyone stole my tume they would have to pay by going in the desert and survive 1 week and come back. I would say you have to be kind to each other every day or they would die. No killing at all and if didn’t they have to swim all the way across the Nile river and back. #2 Good thing so that everyone treated each person the way they wanted to be treated.

1. If I was the most powerful person in the world then I would make sure that all laws were not broken. I would also make sure that we would have strong secure jails so that if you broke the law then you couldn’t get out until you served your time.
2. I think that if I was the most powerful person then it would be bad for me because I wouldn’t know what to do with it. I am sort of a pushover so I probably wouldn’t be a good ruler.

Allison,

If I was the most powerful person in the world I would make everyone have a dog and no cruelty to the animal and if I found out they would get put in jail till they learned to be nice to animals. I would also make people try and kill the snakes, crocodiles, and alligators and for every one they killed they would get some type of reward. Everyone would have to be nice and kind and not kill or hurt each other. We would not mummify anyone when they died we would just bury them. No one would have to pay taxes either. Everyone could only worship one god and had to believe in him and don’t say anything or do anything that would count as a sin.

Being the most powerful person in the world might be a good thing like having all the power but it could be a bad thing sometimes because what if somebody didn’t want to follow your rules they could try and hurt you or I would have to hurt them like put them in jail.

If I were the most powerful person in the world .I would close all the public schools. I would let children learn at home by their mothers.

I think being the most powerful person would be good because I would like to be taught by my Mom. I also think it would be good to be rich and not have to pay for school.

If I was as powerful as an Egyptian pharaoh I would make everyone play a sport but if you don’t like sports you can work out everyday. I would also make a McDonnell’s on every block. I would have my own army just for me.


I think being the most important person would be a good and bad thing. The good thing is that I could have any thing I want. The bad thing is that is that people would want to kill me.

If I was the most powerful person in the world I would help save the animals no one would be able to shoot wild animals, only the animals that we have a lot of. Every one would have a say in stuff. If there was a law that was a bout to be made and a big group of people didn’t want it they could over rule the law. No one would be a slave; we all have equal rights.

Being the most powerful person in the world would be a good thing because you could do what ever you wanted to and every one would obey you. But being the most powerful person could be a bad thing because if something bad would happen they would blame you and if there was a lot of problems you would be busy.

1. If I was the most powerful person in the world everyone who has a house have to have a pool in the back yard. The pool will have a shelf that has water guns already filled with water, and have blow up rafts and oars.

2. I think no because ancient time I would have to start the charging in battles. Also they would be in charge of disease that occurs or a bad growing season and people will not like you. Also if you are a nice person it’s hard to be mean to other people by demanding taxes.

1. If I was the most powerful person in the world I would make smoking illegal because it causes lung cancer a bunch of people are dying of it. I would make sure that poor people had the things they needed to survive. I would also make everyone have a tree in their yard so that we could have cleaner air.


2. Being the most powerful person would be a bad thing. People would try to hurt you because they would get jealous of you. You might even get a little bit greedy and then people won’t like you as much. Then when people don’t like you, you start to get crazy because you don’t know what to do.

1. If I as the most powerful person in the world I would stop the wars and make everyone stay in there country’s. I would make sure all the laws were not broken and if they were I would make them go to prison or make the pay a fine. I would have strong and extra good jails for everyone who disobeyed the laws. I would make people live in little cottages so that they would be easy to repair if something happens to there house.

2. It would be a good thing because I am trying to save the earth and all the people and animals an the earth. I would try to be the best ruler ever. I would try to be kind but if the laws were broken I wouldn’t be so nice.

1.if I was the most powerful person in earth. I would save all endangered animals by making a special zoo foe them. They would all be safe from the dangers of the wild life.
The next thing I would do would to make schools have a dress code to wear whatever kids wanted. But short skirts and toobtops were not allowed. Because it’s just not appropriate for school. I would have a law that parents would listen to there kids and let there kids have a once in a life time chance. I would only hire the nicest teachers in the country to teach.
But if they weren’t nice I would make a complain about there teachers. Complaint box to were kids put a nick name and could complain about there behaves.


2. I think being the most powerful person in the world. Wouldn’t be good because
Everybody has a different opinion and being the most powerful person in the world you would only put down your ideas for the world. And you should let others vote.
You set up a booth and let people put there opinions in it. Then people would have a say. The world would be a better place.

1. I would never want to be the most powerful person in the world, but if I was the most powerful person in the world. Then I would have tickets to every football, baseball, and hockey games. Another thing I would want is a Barry Sanders rookie card. My last thing I would want is a Mike Singletary rookie card.


2. I think being the most powerful person in the world would be a bad thing cause then they would do what ever they wanted. Another thin is it would be hard. Then they might go crazy. I would never want to be the most powerful person in the world.

If I were the most powerful person in the world than the world would be better. I would make there be only good people. NO KILLING! Also I would everyone in the world play a sport. Everyone can eat what they want, they won’t have a certain amount of food. Africa could come over freely and get whatever they want. The flight would be free to. There would be NO extinctions because animals should not die. That’s what I would do if I were the most powerful person in the world. I would do a lot more I just can’t name them all at this moment. Oh, and I would not be the ruler everyone should be treated the same way. With RESPECT and being KIND!

I think being the most powerful person would be okay but at the same time bad because some people wouldn’t like me because of my laws. The good thing though is that the world would be a better place than it is right now. Right now there are really bad things going around. The wars, abortions it’s just not good and I wouldn’t allow that in my country. So it might be good or it might be bad. I just hope all people would like me because my laws would be really agreeable.

2. Being the most powerful person would be a good thing because I would be good leader I would let you speak your mind and maybe you will get your way and that’s why I be a good leader.

1 I would move to Hawaii and build lots of stuff like more restraints, more banks, more games, more toys, lower prices of gas, of everything except taxes and of the cheap stuff like the stuff at dollar general store and dollar tree if I could be a pharaoh.

2 I think it would be bad to be a pharaoh because I would get blamed for droughts, lots of rain, lack of rain, I would get blamed for everything that wasn’t happened. Another reason is I would have to fight off other countries.

1. If I were the most powerful person in the world I would use my power to make there no such thing as money. Everyone would just trade stuff that they wanted. Next, I would make a law that says no killing animals under any circumstances.

2. Being the most powerful person in the world would be a good thing because you could get whatever you want. It would also be a bad thing because some people could not like you for the laws that you make. I think it would be quite fun, though.

1# I would let every one believe in what ever religion they want. I think it is dumb how some they might force people to believe in one religion.

1. If I was the most powerful person in the world, I would demand for $1million dollars. Also another thing I would demand for is wal-mart and McDonalds. My favorite thing I would do as the most powerful person in the world is play a Wii.

2. It would be a good thing and a bad thing. It would be a good thing because u would be able to do anything you want. Also because you could chose what laws you want. But it would be a bad thing because you would have to attend every death in the world.

If I were the most powerful person in the world I would take the biggest sports complex in the world and knock everything down inside of it and make a chocolate castle in side but it would have to be an indoor sports complex so the chocolate wouldn’t melt. And I would allow anyone to come in for free. Especially those less fortunate than I am. I would also make sure there was world peace.

In a way it would be both a good and a bad thing because it would be hard trying to make sure laws are obeyed, world peace, and help those in need. But a lot of people would look up to me.

1 I would make a pyramid I would make a lot of slaves.

1. If I became the most powerful person in the world I would forward more funds to alternate fuel sources and medical research, instead of to war. I would also ban tax and gambling. I would also dedicate more money to the poor, the orphanages, and the ASPCA.
2. Being the most powerful person would be both good and bad. It could be good because I could help the planet more than anyone else, but I might also go corrupt. I’d also have to manage wars.

1. If I were the most powerful person in the world I would get rid of taxes and lower gas prices by drilling in the polar ice caps. Why I would lower gas prices is because I think it would help our economy. And I’d get rid of taxes because it would help our economy by giving people more money for other things.

2. It would be good and bad. It would be good because you can have anything at your beck and call. But it would be bad because you would get blamed for stuff you didn’t do.

1. I would lower the gas prices. Because it cost a lot so I don’t won’t any one pay to much money for one gallon of gas. I would make people take animals of the street. I would tell them to take the animal to the vet. I would, make everyone recycle so we can keep the world nice and clean so every ones kid can live on it. I would make every one pick up the trash that is on the ground so they won’t liter.

1)If Is The Most Powerful Person In The World I Would Use It For Good And Bad. Mostly For Good Though But I Would Still Have Slaves. Not Many Though Because I Believe That They Would Need Freedom. Back Then I Guess They Really Didn’t Think About That Stuff Though.
2) Being The Most Powerful Person In The World Would Be Both Bad And Good Because You Can Be Blamed For Things That Aren’t Your Fault. It Would Also Be Good Because You Would Get The Best Of Things And Not Live Such A Hard Life Like The Slaves Or Farmers. You Would Have A Good Bed People To Take of You. On The Other Hand It Would Suck Because You Could Have The Chance Of Being Assonated Or Being Blamed For A Drought, Disease Or Bad Harvest.
