QUESTION 1: GIVEN ALL YOUR READINGS ON THE OLD & MIDDLE KINGDOMS, CHOOSE THREE ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXAMPLES (MONUMENTS AND/OR ARTIFACTS) AND DISCUSS HOW THESE DEMONSTRATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGHLY CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT IN EGYPT BY THE THIRD AND FOURTH DYNASTIES. HOW DO THESE OBJECTS ALSO DEMONSTRATE THAT THIS CENTRALIZATION WAS TIED TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE PERSONA OF THE KING/PHARAOH? DISCUSS. ( TWO TO THREE PAGES, TYPED AND DOUBLE SPACED). REMEMBER TO FOOTNOTE REFERENCES FROM YOUR READINGS TO BACK UP YOUR ASSUMPTIONS & UTILIZE ALL YOUR ASSIGNED READINGS CREATIVELY.
These journal/essays should demonstrate that you have read all of your assignments, thought about them, and synthesized important archaeological information in order to answer the assigned questions. You should back up your ideas and discussion by footnoting supporting sources from all of your assigned readings for each report. Skipping a book, primary literary source, or an assigned journal reading in an attempt to answer the journal/essay question will result in a lower score, thus, make sure that you have demonstrated that you have read all the assignments by creatively integrating supporting references from each of the reading sources as they apply to the journal/essay question in your Syllabus. (See the Reading Schedule for each question).
