Pharaohs and Symbols of Power

Q Question 1 Not yet graded / 8 pts Think about basically any school classroom you have been in from kindergarten up to the present. List some "symbols of power" -- physical objects that are typically found in a classroom -- that show the teacher is the one in control. (For once in this class, you don't have to write complete sentences or complete ideas! A short list is fine.) Question 2 Not yet graded / 8 pts What are some "symbols of power" for ancient Egyptian kings? Name several objects -- at least three, and four or five is better. For each object, describe it briefly but vividly so it's clear what you're talking about, and speculate what it is about the nature of this object that makes it such a potent symbol. For any ONE of these objects, explain briefly how it is similar to a classroom symbol of power that you mentioned in the previous question. Question 3 Not yet graded / 4 pts What are "symbols of power" that exist in politics and government in the contemporary world? Name four or five, and speculate about what makes them carry such weight. For any ONE symbol, explain how it is similar to some ancient Egyptian symbol.
