A Poem by khalid
"

pharaoh means the ruler in egypt's ancient language ( hierogliphic )

"


Pharaoh,
Means the ruler,
In Egypt Hieroglyphic.
Into three kingdoms it is divided.
Old, middle and new, weak time between each
Menos, the first Pharaoh, united Lower and Upper Egypt
Starting the old kingdom, the kingdom of the pyramids builders
The famous pyramids are the three in Giza Plateau, but 138 existing, too
Khufu, built the greatest one, then the second by the respectful Khafre  his son
He could build higher one, but respect for his dad prevented him,oh! good son!

 he added the sphinx, with lion body and human head, gathering power and mind
Menkaure,the son,didn’t lack father's respect.didn't build, higher than his dad's
Pyramids aren't stones put together,they were for life of dayafter,they are great teacher

I enjoy the poem. I was lucky and was able to roam most of Egypt. I felt a comfort in the land and her beauty. Egypt has been the center of knowledge for many years. I wish the Middle East would find peace. The old world had great knowledge and experience. The world need a soft and strong voice to allow the world to know peace. I believe the old world and old countries must direct and stop the foolishness of busy bodies and greedy nations. Thank you for the description.

i find egyptology to be a fascinating field of study. yours could be a poem among the archives of egytology. i've never been to egypt, and i don't know if i'll ever get to go in my lifetime. your poem is very informative as well as pleasing to the eye since it is in the shape of a pyramid. this was like a history lesson but in poetic form. excellent poem.

oh, i really love Egypt's colorful history. i enjoyed reading this, because this piece is an eye-catching one. the flow is smooth, and the fact that the first and topmost word is "Pharaoh" added flavor. and the way this is constructed like a pyramid is very interesting. great job on this!! :)

I liked the original word order and that begins with "Pharaoh" :) sounds like he is on the top of pyramid and observes everything around...It`s amazing that include reall history, so it`s away of what we can call "poetic" but in the same time for people like me, who can`t read just historical books, it`s great!! Thank you, Khalid :) I enjoy this poem

very interesting and love the idea of him not building higher than his father...also to hear about the three kingdoms and how the first pharaoh united the lower and upper Egypt. nice work.
