Are these drawings keeping me productive or are they driving me insane?Stay tuned to find out haha. My anatomy exam is in less than three weeks 😦

I recently found out that HARVARD has free online classes! I enrolled in a couple of courses a month ago but haven’t had the time to start on them. Now that classes are over, I can work on them until the next semester. Anybody who knows me, I love history, especially ancient Egyptian history. I have watched countless documentaries and even taken an elective on ancient Egyptian civilization. This course highlights the history and methods of western archeological exploration of Ancient Egypt, specifically Giza. The course also includes topics on the cultural, political, and religious aspects of Ancient Egyptian societies. One of the reasons I love Ancient Egyptian history is that of the profoundly sophisticated design in architecture. It is fascinating that the Egyptians figured out the design layout of the pyramids and the meaningful symbolism in their society.

Interesting things about Ancient Egyptian history from what I learned:

1. Giza’s three pyramids are perfectly arranged to match the three stars of the Orion belt. Imagine the calculated precision to achieve this.

2. Each stone weighs about 2.5+ tons each! Without cranes nor advanced technology, how did the Egyptians lay one stone at a time with precise dimensions inside and out? Don’t forget about the intricate design of passages, shafts, and chambers within the pyramid structure. It makes you wonder.

3. The curses… “Death shall come on swift wings to him who disturbs the peace of the king.” That scripture was written on Tutankhamun’s tomb, which was ignored by an Egyptologist who died 4 months after the tomb’s opening. Are the curses real? Or was it a coincidence?
