Add more water if needed, but be careful not to overdo it; the dough should be dense and slightly tacky. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface. Knead another minute. The dough should be mostly dry to the touch. If not, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour on the work surface and knead the dough an additional 30 seconds. Shape the dough into a log about 6 inches long. Cut into 6 pieces. Flatten each piece with a rolling pin into an 8-inch round or until about 1/4-inch thick. Use additional flour on the work surface to prevent sticking. Lightly coat a large skillet or griddle with oil and heat over a medium flame. Place a dough round in the skillet and cook until it begins to puff and is golden on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes.

They also found beer containers, bread making pots, and tools from the original builders of the pyramids An ancient bakery was found and discovered thousands of baking pottery containers – where there is bread, there are people. 100’s of bakeries=1000’s of workers. They needed to feed the builders of the pyramids The robot is trying to find new discoveries in the tomb inside the pyramid Step Pyramids were built before the invention of the wheel and pulleys, so their building was a major accomplishment for people so old in history Around 2600 BC, there was a tidal wave of architectural design and production of pyramids Khufus dad, Sneferu , perfected building chambers inside the pyramids without collapsing down onto it called corbeling The bent pyramid was the first pyramid with the corbelling technology built in so it would not collapse in on itself.

As the builders built the Pyramid, the workers were leaving shafts and tunnels where the burial chamber would be located. 30 feet high by 100 feet long for the Great Chamber The final workers would bury the Pharaoh and then seal it with a huge stone to block robbers The burial chamber is now sealed up Khufus chamber and the riches in it has never been found The Queens Chamber was not for Khufus queen, she had her own Pyramid Maybe it was for Khufu’s spirit or soul? The robot is filled with electronics to detect images, etc. The blocking stone is at the end of a 180 foot shaft It was cemented into the space to secure the tomb and whatever was behind it They are drilling a hole through the end stone to see what is inside Dr. Hawass is telling about the hieroglyphics pictures on the outside of the tomb When they were buried, they were given tools and other things need for the afterlife Statues, beer, and tools were included- His bones will tell us a lot about how they lived The bones tell us that the Pyramids were not built by slaves as we previously thought- They were well taken care of- Insurance, food, kids, families all helped The bodies were worked over, and surgery was available for the workers Amputation was the solution for a crushed arm They would not do this for a slave, and must have valued the workers enough to not kill them when injured The workers all lived near the Pyramids and left behind lots of evidence of what they did everyday Fish, cow bones, and other artifacts were found in the workers village The workers were fed well with meat, bread, beer, and fish They found a huge foundation of a room where people ate together maybe?

On the southern end of the Pyramid site, they found huge foundation walls that might be guarding secrets of the palace A royal building, and the artifacts of that palace, are being found at this new site Silos are being found that once stored grain Food was scarce and grain was king. No bread=No pyramids If you had grain, food, water, you had success in building the Pyramids Dr. Hawass is on the outside of the pyramid looking for the shafts of the tunnel where the robot is searching for clues Shafts are really hard to build into the Pyramid and we don’t know why they took the trouble to build them Magic was essential to the Egyptians and was used in all ceremonies Inside the secret tunnel is another sealed door behind the one they drilled through It is something important behind the block in the Queens Chamber because it is protected well Day # 44 = Getting ready for Monday Quiz on “Inside the Great Pyramids” movie Day # 45 11-22-10 Lesson Objective (LO) = To explore the Rituals in our lives, and in ancient Egypt Area of Interaction (AOI) = Human Ingenuity Essential Question (EO) = What are some Rituals that you have in your life?
