The pharaoh’s daughter,

Nevaeh, was spotted at a

long distance race wearing

a never before seen blue

color around her eyes and

a bright red on her lips.

She was attending the race

in Alexandria, Egypt to

support her father and

brother who were going

to be racing the past win-

ners. She was appearing to

act more confident and

feel good about herself

even more so than normal.

When we spotted her we

just had to get the facts.

All we were thinking is

that this could be the new

big thing. Our reporters

Loran and Cheyenne

pulled her to the side for

an interview because peo-

ple were curious. Report-

er Loran- “Good after-

noon Nevaeh, what hap-

pens to be this new look

you have?”

Nevaeh- “I was messing around

with my father’s stuff like his an-

timony, burnt almonds, lead, oxi-

dized copper, ochre, ash, mala-

chite, and chrysocolla. When I

mixed them together it just cre-

ated a magnificent mixture.” Re-

porter Cheyenne- “What is the

purpose of this creation?” Ne-

vaeh- “Well, I was actually just

bored but after I had created it, I

applied it to my eyes and lips I

had felt so much better with my-

self.” Reporter Loran- “Do you

want this be a big hit for every-

one to wear?” Nevaeh- “Yes I

would because if I feel better

about myself with it on I’m al-

most 100% positive that others

will feel better.” Reporter Chey-

enne- “Who do you want it to be

directed to?” Nevaeh- “I actually

want it to be for the women and

even the men as well. It is a good

way for everyone to feel better

about their selves and fit in but it

is not mandatory. Reporter Chey-

enne- “What are you going to

call this mixture?” tory .” Nevaeh

- “I have decided to call it make

up but it’s also classified

Loran- “Are

there any

created yet

or plan

Nevaeh-

“Yes I have made oils and

creams to apply on their skin

to make their skin smooth and

protect the skin against the hot

sun and the dry winds.” Re-

porter Loran and Cheyenne-

“Well thank you for your time

and I’m sure this will be a very

big hit.”

Cosmetics look like they are

going to be a huge hit and def-

initely be around for a while.

The simplest resources can be-

come such a big thing. Our

very own Nevaeh has just cre-

ated a product that seems like

they will make you feel more

confident, as equal as every-

one else, and feel better about

yourself.

“ I love that confidence

that make-up gives me.”

“It makes my eyes pop.”

Pedestrian Mickley was

playing a game with his

friends throwing dice up

a against the wall anoth-

er pedestrian Jackie

Chan saw him and

thought maybe this

would be a great game

for his kids and him and

his wife. But the thing

was that the king would-

n’t accept the game

without a special board.

To make it look nicer. He

had to think of the name

there were twenty

squares on the board so

he called it the game of

twenty squares. Jackie

Chan thought that it

would be cool if the king

plays it so he presented

the game of twenty

squares and the king like

it so Jackie Chan gave

him the game so he can

play it. Jackie Chan got

famous and made lots of

riches. The king plays the

The object of the game is to

make it to the other side of

the board without letting the

opponent make it before, you

have to make precise move-

ment so they don’t get there

before you.

The game is made of wood

and the tiny pieces are made

from tiny pieces of shells. This

is how you play;

you must use a

14 sided dice.

The player with

the gold piece

gets the first

move after you

roll the dice you

must move the

piece to make

the right move, but you can

also block the player blocking

him in. If a player lads on a ro-

sette (good luck square) the

opponent must give the other

player a gold piece. By then

you should be close to the end

of the board but if you roll

over the amount of spaces

there are you must go to the

This game is also known

as The Game of Ur the

game is also very close to

the game Senet also

made by the ancient

Egyptians. The game of

senet was also very pop-

ular back then. So any-

way the game twenty

squares are very popular

and many people play it

usually little kids because

many adults work.

The game of twenty squares and how

it came along

The game of twenty squares

By: Zachary Warfield & Clay-

ton Lineweaver, reporting from

Woodstock, VA. Have you ever

heard of “glass?” According to a

local farmer in Cairo, a small fire,

started by a spooked ox and a

nearby torch, shows heating sand

makes some weird crystal-like

material that experts are calling

“glass,” for lack of a better term.

The farmer discovered it after he

slid on it and fell, which resulted

in a broken arm. Could this be a

new industry in Egypt? Experts

say that with the right tools, we

can take the sand, make it into

glass, and then shape it into

whatever shape we need. “This is

a great new discovery that people

can make a living off of,” says

Pharaoh. “Also,” says the Phar-

aoh’s scribe, who has chosen to

withhold his name, “we can color

this glass, so instead of dull paint,

ladies can wear smooth, shiny

glass beads in any color imagina-

ble!” This was later proven to be

false, since we do not have the

tools to make it any color, though

most people, the Pharaoh includ-

ed, say that blue is indeed the

most exquisite color. But, there

are those who think that this is

dangerous. “I’m not going to send

my husband out there to make

something we haven’t even

learned about yet!” says Lessie

Benson, a clay pot maker in Lux-

or, while molding clay into a pot,

“The man who discovered it

broke his arm for what? Just to

have Pharaoh say which color is

his favorite?” So, is it worth the

risks? Civilians have gathered out-

side Pharaoh’s palace protesting

that this should be banned be-

cause of all the safety hazards.

Sadly, Pharaoh says that they will

begin the process of turning sand

into glass by next week.

“I think these people are crazy!”

bellows local bartender Max Ed-

wards. “ There hasn’t been this

much opportunity since the last

pyramid was built! No risk, no re-

ward!” Even though many people

disagree, this has been proven to

be true. When the last pyramid

was built, thousands of jobs were

created through bakeries and

doctor’s offices. Experts predict

that this new industry will not on-

ly get people back to work, but

boost the economy back up.

“Our future with this new discov-

ery lies in the hands of our peo-

ple. If they protest and disagree,

the likelihood of this ever hap-

pening is slim to none.

We just need to build up our

facts about this, then tell the

people what the real ad-

vantages about this are. It

may take some time but I’m

sure by the end of the year

people will be making money

and as happy as ever,” Phar-

aoh concludes. Nile News

Network went back to the

farm where the farmer first

saw the creation of “glass.”

There, they discovered that

the sand will have to be in a

container that can withstand

high amounts of heat, and we

may not be able to access this

level of heat. But, the re-

searchers working on this

have said that they have

made great achievements in

the art of glassmaking.

“Those who think we may

have this as a major industry

in a year, they are looking too

far ahead,” Researcher Jack

Tucker stated, “we will have

this mastered in half a year, if

that!” Of course, the only

way this is possible is if the

people of Egypt accept it, and

even then, willing to work

with an extremely hot liquid.

DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME!

Glass making comes to Egypt?

Help wanted for mining Last week in Egypt a miner dis-

covered a new vein off gold in

one of the tunnels that he was

working in with another miner

looking for copper deposits in

the rocks on the mountain of

the gods. Since he found the

new vein of gold, he was given

the job of mining the gold with

a small group of men on the

mountain by the pharaoh and

we would like to know if you

would like to be part of the

mining force that is getting the

gold in the mountain you and

your loved ones will be paid by

having a better chance in the

afterlife.

We can use a new way of min-

ing that was discovered in a

neighboring city to have about

a ton of gold for the pharaoh

to use on the pyramid that

he is building to get him to

the afterlife The way we are

going to get the gold out of

the mine is we are going to

have men go in the tunnel

with torches and picks to free

the gold. Then children will

pick it up and take it out side,

where it will be broken into

small pieces. Then we will

take sheep skins with the

wool on the inside and make

a bag. Then we put the gold

bearing dirt in the bag and

have older people shake it

and add water to trap the

gold and get ride off the dirt.

The way this gold is going to

be used is that most of it will

be in the pharaoh's tomb and

to make his jewelry, .

But we will trade some of it to

get supplies to build the pyramid

Where it will be put in the pyra-

mid so the pharaoh will have

something to trade in the after-

life. If you collect an amount of

500 pounds of gold you will be

treaty with a dinner with the

pharaoh.

If you come out and help your

pharaoh collect some more gold,

you will be given a chance to go

to the afterlife. We will provide

food and water to the entire

worker crew and provide shelter.

There is also going to be a place

where you may speak to the god

but only for a few moments.

There will be a guard watching

you so if you take any gold you

will have your head chop off, be-

cause that would be stealing

from the pharaoh which is pun-

ishable by death. Our other min-

ing operations that need help are

our copper since it is in a high

need because of all the tools

needed to build the pyramid and

to run all of the other mining op-

erations in the area. We think

the mining will last for a few

years unless we find a new vein

of gold in the area we are min-

ing.

The 4-spoked chariots are

still used, but they are used

to transport people from

place to place they are not

used for war. They are

called ceremonial chariots

and are mainly used for the

pharaoh. Chariots are very

expensive and they break

down all the time. Most peo-

ple do not have the amount

of money needed to pur-

chase and own their own

personal chariot. If they did

have enough money to buy

their own chariot they

would not have enough

money to pay for the re-

pairs if it broke down. The

pharaoh would have the

best chariot so when he

went to ceremonies he

would look the best when he

shows up to them. Pharaoh

said, “These chariots are

very comfortable and they

make you look like you

could be the pharaoh.” If

pharaoh rides in these then

everyone wants to so get a

chariot and look like a phar-

aoh.

The chariots were invented in

the town of Mesopotamia be-

cause a man was late for a tem-

ple ceremony and he needed to

get there fast.

He got one of

the horses from

his field and

wood and quar-

ry rocks left

from building a

pyramid. He de-

cided to take the

quarry rocks and make circular

object and attached them to

wood to his horses. Then he

took that and attached it to be

horse and it worked. On his way

to the ceremony everybody was

amazed and shocked it went all

over town. The Hyksos general

turn the chariot into a war ma-

chine and completely changed it.

He added 2 more spokes for

support. Adding the 2 extra

spokes made it lighter and was

better supported than the 4-

spoked wheel. If they were about

to overturn they would be able to

jump off while the horses drags

it to safety. The men that were

riding in the chariots would car-

ry whips. They would also carry

a war weapon which was usually

a bow and arrow.

In the battle of the Mesopota-

mia we were defeated be-

cause the Hyksos were ad-

vanced in technology.

They had something

called a chariot. The

military said they are

going to take their

idea and improve it by

adding a steel plate in

front and have better trained

horses. General UkuNomuku

said “We could use them for

throwing spears of the back

and its faster mobilization so

we can cover distance in a

shorter amount of time, we

can also improve it to make it

the ultimate war machine”.

We asked a carpenter and he

said “They are really easy to

make the wood is easy to get

and since we found all of that

iron ore in the desert we have

more metal for the black

smiths to make the metals

plates”. The local blacksmith

CinosdosQinos says “I better

get a profit out of this, I’m

not working this hard just to

win a war. The plates the ar-

my wants are expensive to

buy in the market and I’m not

getting any profit”.

The calendar exist

Today in Cairo, the Pharaoh Pablo

learned how to tell time. “We are going to use

something called a calendar” said the Pablo.

“We will break it down into 12 months and in

each month there is three weeks and in each

week there is ten days plus our five holy days.

This will be the first 360 day calendar known

to mankind”.

“We have made up the names of these

seasons; they are Akhet, Proyet, and Shumno.

The seasons will have four months in each.

The first four are Tekh, Menhet, Hwt-Hrw, and

Ka-Hr-Ka. The next four are Sf-Bdt, Rekh Wer,

Rekh Neds, and Renwet. Finally the last four

Hnsw, Hnt-Htj, Ipt-Hmt, and Wep-Renpet”.

The way that we have figured out

how to make the calendar that is 360 days is

by something called lunar time. It is when we

look at the moon at night and decide the

phase of the moon. If our calculations are

right then every New Year on June 21st is also

going to have a new moon on that night.

We will be able to tell when

the day is half way over by when the

sun is facing west. The season Akhet

will be named after our god Thoth,

and Shemu will be named after our

god Khonsu

By Colton and Brian

Every four years our cal-

endar will advance and have an-

other day. Our way of time is

better called as astronomical

time. We will observe that rising

star of Sirius and the sun which

will always coincide with the be-

ginning of the inundation of the Nile

River. We will calculate dates according

to our calendar system.

Certain rituals will have to be

performed at certain times. To be pre-

cise about our rituals our priest will

keep track of thing known now as lu-

nar phases according to which month

coincide with one lunar cycle.

Our special five days of the

year are known as epagonenal. These

five days are really special because

they are, Osiris, Horus, Seth, Isis, and

Nephthys. These seasons that were

made are our festival seasons.

We also will have Sothic cycle.

Our Sothic cycle is going to be made

up of 1461 Sothic cycles which equals

1460 years plus one year gives you

your Sothic cycle. These are better de-

fined as the cycle of the sun, moon,

and stars.

Our year is almost ¼ of a

day shorter than the solar year that’s

why we add a day every four years .

Our pharaoh The Pablo will have to

swear on an oath not to change it

because it will be so important to

us.

The season Akhet will be

when the Nile river floods, Peret will

be the time when the fields could be

planted. Shomu will be the time

when the crops dry up and the

plants need to be harvest. Shomu

also means summer. The word day

means both the time between sun-

rise and sunset. So at the end of the

day they world put an x though the

day.

Cure your infections, pain, and diarrhea

Some doctors in Cairo

have discovered a few remedies

for diarrhea, pain relief, and pre-

venting infections. Whether you

are a slave, military man or even

the pharaoh you will benefit from

reading on and discovering what

you can do to protect yourself

from the nuisances and dangers

of the problems listed above.

Over the past few years

doctors have been overrun with

patients suffering from awful

pain, burning diarrhea, and infec-

tions that can be life threatening

is some cases. First off, let’s talk

about infections. Many people in

our military are injured whether

they are in training or in battle.

These injuries usually lead to in-

fections, and these infections lead

to pus and pain. The infections

are very easy to prevent.

All you need to do is get

some honey from a bee’s nest. To

get the honey out of the bees

nest you will need

some smoke to calm the

bees, after they are calm quickly

remove the honey and take it home

to rub into the wound. Don’t touch

the honey in your wound again until

it has hardened, that way it will stay

in place and you won’t have to ap-

ply more. It may sting but this will

help keep you in fighting condition.

Next up we have pain. Pain

can be as mild as a sore back or as

strong as being run over by a bull.

Whatever type of pain you are feel-

ing can

be at

least

helped

by using

corian-

der. Co-

riander

is dried

seeds

from the cilantro plant. If you eat

coriander some pain will be re-

lieved. If you want to use coriander

then just get some cilantro, take the

seeds and grind them up. Once the

seeds have been ground you can

spread them into any food you

want. So if you have an injury, rub

your wound with honey and have

some coriander, you will be infec-

tion free, and pain free.

Last on the list is diarrhea.

We all have had the awful burn-

ing feeling left by diarrhea after it

has passed through and recently

as we all know, the pharaoh was

very sick. He had an especially

awful case of diarrhea while he

was sick, and when a maid served

him soup with acacia gum in it he

noticed he was relieved of his di-

arrhea. If you are in need of some

acacia gum, then go out and find

an acacia tree, scrape off some

tree-bark, and collect

the gum. Then use it in

some soup and your

bowels will be relieved.

I hope this article has

helped you with some of

your health problems

and will in the future.

Young, and Zaff Winfeld).

asked him what the main ob-

jective of the game was and he

said he wasn’t sure, but each

player had 5-7 pieces. Pharaoh

also added that the board was

made up of wood and rocks.

Pharaoh also added that the

board was made up of wood

and rocks. He said that it was a

game that looked “To his

taste.” He also included that he

requested his servants to gather

up the pieces required to play

this game, as if he wanted to

play it.

I asked Pharaoh if he saw any-

thing else and he said he saw

one more thing. He said the

board had one leg and a top.

Pharaoh said it kind of looked

like a mushroom. “The top of

the board looked like snake

skin.” Pharaoh said. Six play-

ers were currently playing and

they were playing with 3 lions

and 3 lionesses as their pieces.

Pharaoh said he didn’t really

know how to play, but he

would like to know. On to the

physical activities like hand-

ball, that the boys always

played rougher and tougher

than the girls, since the males

are more aggressive than the

females, but as we all know, it

has been this way for a while.

We interviewed Pharaoh, on his

opinion of the games in Egypt

and if there was a great variety of

them, and he said that the games

that we have now are fun, but

they are very old and it’s the

same thing every time I play it,

and it’s good to see the younger

generations coming up with new

games, and hopes to see them

grow/ improve in the nation of

Egypt. He said that he takes

walks around his temple, and

always sees the citizens constant-

ly playing these games that he

mentioned earlier in the inter-

view, and that he was glad to see

the new games accustoming.

and rags.

Today, Pharaoh saw a

few kids, tossing rocks back

and forth, running away from

the thrower, as if they were not

trying to get hit by the rock.

Pharaoh was curious, and ap-

proached the kids, introducing

a new way to play the game,

instead of throwing rocks, be-

cause they were dangerous. He

had his servants create a ball,

consisting of soft leather; the

insides consisted of “chaff”,

dried papyrus leaves tied tight-

ly together.

Pharaoh himself, was suffering

from boredom, because of all

of the games has been around

for a while and was getting

very boring, so he decided to

adopt the sport, known as hand-

ball. The rules of the game are:

You’d have a partner vs. anoth-

er team; you could either stand

on the ground, or sit on your

partner’s back. Pharaoh didn’t

think about having a scoring

system, just to have fun with

the newly adopted game.

However, Pharaoh recorded

that “handball” was not the on-

ly game that caught his atten-

tion. Pharaoh said that he saw 2
