Challenge 6
The sun rises, rivers flow Time passes, empires go. It's an ancient way of counting days Lose this challenge, your tribe pays.
Reward and Immunity Challenge on July 5th, 8:30 PM EST. Be here.
No sit outs for this challenge. And it's time sensitive.
--
Yes, I can make this one! Come on Menkaure we can kick it this time. I'm going to do some research about how Egyptians told time, I think it involved the Nile...
EDIT: Okay I googled "ancient egypt measuring time" and there are a lot of sites. Maybe we should read as much as we can to prepare for the challenge.

This could totally screw us over...but since there is not a sit out this time it makes me think that it will just be one answer for the tribe. Maybe? I'll see if Steph knows anything about Kim.

The Egyptian Calendar has three seasons. These seasons were called Akhet, Proyet, and Shomu. Read about these Egyptian seasons below. Akhet - Akhet was the first season. It lasted from June 21st to October 21st on the American calendar. Akhet consisted of four 30 day months. Proyet - Proyet was the second season. It lasted from October 21st to February 21st. It also contained four months. Shomu - Shomu was the third, and last, season. It lasted from February 21st to June 21st. Like the other seasons, it is four months. Shomu was the season that we call Summer. library.thinkquest.org/CR0215615/egyptcal.htmIs this right?

I'm so sorry guys my computer froze and needed to be fixed (new harddrive and various other things).... I tried getting on a computer but I had no access to one with three computers and 11 people in a house it made it impossible to find a computer.
