Dear diary, Today looks like another typical day as I pharaoh Nessuimentopet look out and see the people of Egypt waking up. I look to the northwest as I see the pyramid I will be in when I'm buried. As I open the door I see my servant's coming holding my scented oils, clothing and my valuable jewels which are polished to look almost as bright ad the sun.


I walk out of the temple and felt a breeze of hot air as the sunshine brightly at the front of the temple. As I go past some bakeries I think of I ate this morning. Then I heard " Pharaoh Nessuimentopet " a few times before I snapped out of it. As I looked around I saw the ambassadors . They were already talking about business already. They quickly gave me an update of what had been happening the when the meeting finished , I started to walk to the temple . I stopped to get the bull we were about to sacrifice to Amen-Re, when I prayed to him. It may be a pain but I have too, I go past the crowd and go past the temples. I see all the pyramids and I am satisfied with the amount of work they have done on the pyramid. As I went back to the palace I was finally alone.


I fell asleep, and in the middle of the night there was a knock and the messenger came in. He told me that a storm was coming. I quickly woke up and opened the window. There I saw a heavy storm coming right at us. I quickly ran to cover I thought "why did the storm appear?" I remembered what happened while I was in the temple praying. I am normally alone when
I'm praying so I thought that. I could sneak away and relax. " like the gods can harm Egypt while there not even on earth.!"

Bam!!! The thunder thrashed against the ground. Them the door opened and the storm came in. I ran to his temple where it was nice and dry. All of a sudden I heard a voice " come to the top of the pyramid," I quickly went to the top of the pyramid and saw a face form from the clouds and asked "Who are you?" He replied "I AM AMEN -RE!!!" I asked "what do you want?" " I God AMEN-RE want you pharaoh Nessuimentopet to be a better pharaoh by helping more people and let the people stop work for a while to rest."


From that day on everyone lived in peace. Amen-Re was no longer angry or was he?
