Week 2: January 19-23
Egyptian Pyramids: Who built the pyramids?
Who would be willing to build such a great monument?
Did slaves build the Great Pyramids at Giza?
This week, we will continue reading primary sources from Ancient Egypt to determine who, in fact, did build the pyramids.
After reading the sources, we will analyze them one by one and find evidence that supports the claim of whether they were made by slaves or paid laborers.
Each night you will be responsible for writing your own opinion on each source. Sources A-E are due on Friday, 23 January.
We will continue our weekly trek with Mr. Salopek via the Out of Eden walk as well. Please make sure you stay on top of your weekly submissions to the above website.
