I met my first Pharaoh, King Tutankhamun, also
known as King Tut. I interviewed him and learned
many things about him...
Q: So King Tut what was your childhood like?
A: Well I did take the throne at the age of 8 or 9 but, I don't really remember exactly how old I was. All I could remember were angry people mad at my dad. Now that i'm older i now know why they were mad at him. My father Akhenaten, tried to change the religious system and the old beliefs that had been practiced for hundreds of years. When i became the Pharaoh I decided to restore the belief in the old belief system which made the citizens much more happy. My childhood was enjoyable even if i wasn't the Pharaoh. I spent most of my time hunting, swimming, and studying. My favorite thing to do was to play board games. All in all my childhood had many ups and downs.
Q: What were some of your achievements?
A: Well I know that people don't think I achieved that much, but I actually achieved many things. I restored the belief in polytheism which made all the citizens much more happy. I richly embellished the temples with Amun, Amunet, and Khonsu on it. The small temple in Nubia, I built it, I built a pair of granite lions, repaired the wrecked temples that my dad had ruined, moved the capital to Memphis and built there and in Thebes.

I met my second Pharaoh, Khufus.
I interviewed him and learned many
astonishing things about him...
Q: So Khufus what are you known for?
A: Ha-ha-ha silly boy you really don't know what I'm known for. Well if your really don't know what I'm known for then I'll tell you. I am known for building one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The thing I built was a very, very large pyramid which was the largest structure on earth for 4,300 years.
Q: Are there any mysteries surrounding your life?
A: There are many mysteries surrounding my life. The people in your time know me as the Pharaoh who constructed the Great Pyramid, but nobody really knows how my childhood went due to somebody stealing my tomb. My life is a mystery and for some reason I don't remember my life either besides that I built the Great Pyramid.
