=MY THOUGHTS OF THIS TASK=

In this task we were asked to reserch one Egyption god and I chose Isis. I really enjoyed reserching and lerning about Isis. As well as that I lernt many new things about other gods such Orisis throughout my research. It was great that I was able to access others work as it was interesting to read over their information and learn about their god. It was a bit challenging to find the right information and the right answers to the questions but eventually I found it and the result was gerwat.
