NOVEMBER nibbles

Ohh Sorry friends I did not notice that today is King Tut day or I would have been the 1st one to come here....hehehe

Here is a bit of history about this king Tuthankamen
The histroy that you have given is right. His bed his coffin and all that Tutankhamen was using is still in tact in the museum, and every thing is made of gold even his coffin. As you know he died at the age of nineteen he was very short. His body is well presevered even today. some of these are great wonders of Egypt.
Among the 3 hugh pyramids here his is the smallest one it is said that as soon as the royal kid is born they start making prepration for the tomb and each year 1 layer is build, that way his pyramid remained shortest.

I hope this much is enough or you all want more............

This is one of his statue which is sold to the tourists like hot cakes



This is his body which is still preserved in the muesum

Sara.Haaaaaa.of course Gold plated.))))
Queeny.thanks for the loads.

Gunpowder Day


Guy fawkes Day

Hey Queeny Too fast Ah!


Guy Fawkes Day and Gunpowder Day are one and the same. It commemorates the infamous Gunpowder Conspiracy of 1605 in England. It was led by, you guessed it, Guy Fawkes.

The Roots of Gunpowder Day or Guy Fawkes Day


In 1603, King James I took the throne in England. An avid Protestant, he began persecuting Catholics in the country. He forbid Catholics from practicing their religion ,and punished Catholics who did not convert to the Protestant church.

The Gunpowder Conspirators were a group of Catholics who sought to take action against the king. They plotted to blow up the British Houses of Parliament. They planned to do so, when the king and his supporters were in the buildings. Their plot was uncovered on November 5, 1605. Thirty six barrels of gunpowder were found in the basement of Parliament. Guy Fawkes, the leader of the conspiracy, was arrested and tortured until he confessed. He was arrested just as he was about to ignite the gunpowder.
How do people in England celebrate Gunpowder Day? They do so, with fireworks and bonfires.

Are we celebrating Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators, for attempting to eliminate religious persecution? Or, are we celebrating the government's successful discovery of the plot, saving many lives? ...You make the call
