The film, The Prince of Egypt, is inaccurate when compared to the biblical scriptures in Exodus. The Animation created in 1998 by DreamWorks Picture Production is about Moses and the Israelites. The major differences in the film, when compared to the biblical narrative of Moses, can be seen in the setting, characters and the storylines. These differences were put in the production of the film to interest the viewers and to create a relatable movie. The film, therefore, is counterfactual when compared to the Bible. The differences in the film can be seen in the setting. In the Prince of Egypt, the opening scene shows baby Moses being but in a basket. He then sails a down the Nile River while almost being crushed by boats and being eaten alive by crocodiles. Whereas in the Bible he is said to float gently down the Nile. The directors have obviously changed this peaceful setting because they wanted to add action to a peaceful scene and to get the viewer hooked and excited for the rest of the movie. Another imperfection in the film compared to the Bible was the place where the city was set. In the film production, it appeared to be in Giza. This is clear because the sphinx and the pyramids both can be seen throughout the movie. The director has done this so the viewers can relate or recognize a popular Egyptian landmark, whereas, in the Bible, it is stated that the action happened in the city Rameses. The last change in the DreamWorks motion production is the part of the
Egypt peaked in three different Kingdom periods with it's continuous growth in civilization. The Old Kingdom has taken place in the 3rd millennium BC. The Old Kingdom was a period of riches and peace but was then followed by a downfall of cultural decline and disagreements of the people. Most known as the time between the third dynasty to the sixth dynasty
Today, many stories are recreated from one another, and linked together in unexpected ways. Stories can be altered to fit a better audience, gain a clearer outline, or to simply be more enjoyable. These slight changes can affect the overall themes very easily. This deems true for the relationship between Hamlet, written by Shakespeare, and the reconstructed version, The Lion King. The two stories have a very similar plot along with corresponding characters that almost make them seem like duplications. Although, there are a few reasonable differences that alter The Lion King from the original Hamlet script. The omitting of the mother-to-uncle remarriage, the addition of Simba’s moral support, and the more positive ending of the story are all alternations that affect the overall theme.
1. How did geography influence the development of Egypt? The nile was a big influence on Egypt’s geography.
Going against many years of Egyptian worship Akhenaten proclaimed in about the 14th century B.C that his people were only to worship one god and that was the sun disk Aten. Akhenaten was called a monotheist maybe even the first to live. Egyptian King Akhenaten’s meaning “Effective for Aten”. His name was originally Amenhotep IV, he ruled for about 20 years. While in his rule he move the royal house from Thebes to a new site somewhere in middle Egypt, Akhenaten ordered marvelous temples to be built for Aten. Akhenaten claimed to be the middle man so to speak between the people and Aten; this made him like a god in a way to the people because he was the only person blessed with the ability to be able to talk to Aten. The funny thing is he worshiped all of the Egyptian gods and was building a temple to one. Then dropped that to build a different temple to Aten which now he thinks is the one and only god.
today i'm known as The Mighty Egyptian. My dad came from the planet Krypton. My mom comes from the planet Earth. When my dad went to Earth he met my mom then became girlfriend and boyfriend and then got married and had me. Then named me The Mighty Egyptian they thought that was a cool name.

The mystique and murk that shroud the legends and disparate accounts of the mysterious Little Egypt persona – who stirred up much controversy in the United States around the turn of the 20th century – only highlights the significance of the character in the evolution of the belly dance form, and the perception of it in America.
Perhaps no other culture has intrigued the human imagination as that of ancient Egypt. From the Ancient Greeks, who treated Egypt with venerable respect, to Alexander the Great, and Napoleon, who felt it was imperative to go there, few other cultures have represented so much of universal value to all humans. The purpose of this paper is to present a brief survey of the ancient New Kingdom of Egypt. An emphasis on scholarly views will focus on culture, agriculture, Nubian Pharaohs, religion, and war. Of particular interest is the manner in which this historical knowledge is repeatedly made relevant in today’s world.
One of the differences between these two cultures found in the story was that the Disney version had a royal family with a king, queen, prince, and princess, whereas, the Egyptian
The Middle kingdom of Egypt is a very interesting also is about the 12 dynasty. This dynasty relates to also the 11th and 14th dynasty.This dynasty focused on foreign policy's,aggressive and a whole lot of other things that match into this dynasty.I choose this dynasty because it seems like a very emotional dynasty.This is the dynasty that I wanted to explain and to talk about in a 5 paragraph essay.
The history of the Egyptians included their geography and religion, the Egyptian Kingdoms, their life in the Ancient Egypt, and also their accomplishments.

Some of their accomplishments were writing, education, art, and science.
First, the film begins and ends with the massacre of innocents, the first key detail. This slaughter of innocents was ordered by Herod as a way of preserving his throne. He was worried that the king of kings was coming to end him, and he wanted to ensure that his throne was safe. He is the second detail. This slaughter of innocents is what caused Joseph to take Mary and Jesus and flee to Egypt, the third key detail. Just like in the Bible, God spoke to Joseph in a dream, telling him to take his family and flee to Egypt, only returning when he was instructed. Had Joseph not done this, Jesus may not have survived to save us from our sins. Next in the film comes the wise men, the fourth detail. These wisemen come from the east, showing the
As the central character of the Egyptian state, Pharaoh was the intercessor between the gods and humans. In temples, he was figured as equal of the gods, but he was primarily their servant. He was the only human allowed to interact with the gods. On Earth, the Pharaoh was the first priest, the foster father of the people, the valiant protector and the supreme legislator (“Role of the Pharaoh”).
Egyptians began to settle along the banks of the Nile River, Starting as far north as to the city of Alexandria all the way down south to Aswan. They developed into a well-structured society as Far East to the Red Sea and west to Dakhia, Oasis among many (Figure 1.). The Nile River reached far lending a hand in creating a well-known civilization that consisted of building pyramids and producing crops for their pharaoh. Evolving from hunters and gatherers into agriculturalists throughout history, Egypt has claimed to be one of the earliest and most spectacular civilizations of ancient times. One could wonder if, what led to the collapse of this great society resulted from the Egyptians interaction with the environment by overusing
Another difference I noticed was that in the Bible, it talks about how bad Moses stuttered and that his brother had to speak for him, In the movie though, Moses never stuttered and did all his own speaking in a very confident and steady voice. Also, Aaron shouldn’t be with Moses at the end of the
The analyzed source document entitled The Accounts of The Arab Conquest of Egypt, 642, was written around the tenth century by Sawirus ibn al-Muqaffa, a Coptic Bishop located in al-Ashmunein in upper Egypt. The piece recounts a dream by Roman Emperor Heraclius (c. 575-641), the movement and eventual occupation of the Muslim army in Egypt, the battles fought, the posture of Islam with regard to the predominant Christian presence, the conquest of Alexandria and, the subsequent outcomes. The compilation and timeline of events in the Coptic piece provide the historical community a record to compare and contrast to other records. The context shows how the occupation of Egypt unfolded, who were the major influences –both religious and official – and attempts to demonstrate humanity and respect levels in times of war beyond the face of the battles.
