Our Egyptian Topic




This term class 5SB have been making up our own Egyptian myths involving various gods from ancient Egypt. They had to be about a natural phenomenon or how something was created like,for example,how lightning was created or why the river Nile is here today.

My myth was about lightning and why it strikes trees the  most. It had three gods in it; Horus ,god of the air, Tefnut,goddess of moisture and Isis, goddess of nature. One day Isis was making the trees grow so high to deliberately rip the clouds.(so if no rain, then no river, then no Egypt.).  Tefnut tries to keep the clouds out of her way but gets tired eventually. Horus tried to help move the clouds but instead lightning came out. The lighning struck the tree which made it turn into ashes. Horus explained to Isis the difficulty with taking the clouds away and she understood and stopped her destruction of the clouds. By Luc

My myth was about why the wind blows. Many moons ago in Aknums palace two gods were arguning about the the freedom to rule. They challenged each other to a duel of powers on top a volcano. Half way through the battle the volcano erupted and the god of wind froze the lava. The other god was saved from falling into the volcano therefore because of his actions he is now free to do as he wishes. By Rafferty
