Short Essay (20 points) at least 150 words
Option A)
King Tutankhamun was not a remarkable ruler; he was the son of a disgraced Pharoah and a minor consort. His tomb, while certainly celebrated, was not the most magnificent ever uncovered, nor did he leave behind offspring to continue his line. And yet, this young, rather obscure King has become 'the face' of the Egyptian Pharaoh. In your opinion, what do you believe makes "King Tut" so very popular?
Option B)
For whatever the reason, King Tutankhamun caught the fancy of the public
and albeit posthumously, he walks the red carpet with the best of them! "Tutmania" is a real thing, folks. Find at least 4 examples of Tutankhamun's influence on pop culture and tell me about them.

EXTRA CREDIT (30 POINTS MAXIMUM)
Please choose ONE (1) of the following options:
Option A-Research/Opinion
In the lesson, we discussed two possible reasons for King Akhenaten's
'conversion' to monotheism. Which one, if either, sounds more plausible to
you, and why? Or do you think there is some other reason behind it totally? 300 word minimum.
Option B-Writing
You are a reporter for The Quibbler, and there is a breaking story that you have been sent to London to cover. It seems that there has been a recent streak of murders, accidents, and mischief as of late--all coinciding with the arrival of the King Tutankhamun at the local museum. Being the diligent reporter that you are, you go there to check it out for yourself. What do you find? Tell me about it!! 300 word minimum.
Option C-Art
Illustrate anything that was discussed in the lesson, be it a person, a place, event, etc. This can be done via a computer program (such as Photoshop, Paintshop, etc) or
hand-drawn. As long as it is your own work, I am not particular. Just remember, to make sure and upload them to a file sharing site (such as Photobucket, Flickr, etc).
