== =Horus- Alive in the Underworld= The Egyptian God, Horus, the son of Isis and Osiris has been alleged to be 'alive in the underworld'.

Scientist have discovered ancient hieroglyphics in the valley of the kings (in Egypt). The Hieroglyphics reveal that Horus' father Osiris had many enemies and was murdered by his evil brother Seth. Seth killed Osris because Seth wanted to be king. Horus challenged Seth to a battle, to avenge his fathers death, and to claim the throne.

The fight was considered to be a battle between the spirits of light and dark. Horus lost an eye in the battle and Seth was wounded. The Gods judged Horus as the winner. Even though Horus defeated his father's main enemy, he vowed that he would vanquish his father's enemies, even in the afterlife.

__What did you enjoy most about this task?__ I loved the fact that internet sites were added to the page, so you did not have to spend HOURS trying to research your work. The websites were trustworthy, and simple. I also liked how we learnt words that we did not know before, the glossary of terms really helped me in my research, if not for that, I would not have understood what the websites were saying. I also loved how you taught us to do a bibliography on word. That was REALLYx10000 helpful!

__What did you enjoy least about this task?__ I didn't really like how most of the work was a bit boring. Maybe next time you could do an extention activity as an activity that is compulsory for all, no-one would think: "That's WAY too much to do!" Instead I would think that everyone would enjoy and look forward to this. __What did you find the most challenging?__ Coming up with a catchy headline for the paragraph.

Thankyou Miss Cross, I LOVED it!!!!!!
