Egypt In Chaos

I woke up in the morning while the sun was shining and none of my slaves came into my room to rub pastes and oils on me.

I said to myself "Where are they?" I said furiously. So I walked out the door and see all my slaves were in chaos and even more pyramids were falling down.

Sunday 1918 July.

I called everyone to a special meeting and asked them " What's wrong?" They all said " WE WANT LESS WORK, WE WANT BETTER LIVES AND WE WANT MORE FOOD!" and then they all left the room.

Monday 1918 August.

I called another meeting and told them " I will give you anything you want just please don't make Egypt turn Into chaos again."

They said " Ok." BUT... they were lying.

Wednesday 1918 August.

They continued destroying Egypt and I said to myself " Maybe if I pray to the gods more often,they would stop." So I bolted to the temple and I remembered that I have to sacrifice a bull's throat but the butcher is destroying buildings too.

So I looked for a bull and found one three miles away. I ran as fast as I could to catch the bull and luckily it was sleeping. So I gripped my knife tightly and cut its throat.

I ran back to the temple and I was EXTREMELY EXHAUSTED!

I gave the gods the bull and prayed to them.

Friday 1918 August.

They stopped destroying buildings for a while but they started again so I prayed to the gods again.

Sunday 1918 August.

It finally stopped so I called another meeting and I told them again" Please don't turn Egypt into chaos again, I will do anything."

They said " Fine." I was relived.

I was trying to persuade them to help me rebuild Egypt and they screamed " Ok!"

Today I learnt to always pray to the gods because we Egyptians think that if the Pharaoh does not pray to the gods, Egypt will turn into chaos.
