Good Day!

As my first ramble post, I will talk about past Egyptian experiences.

I have read many, many, many Egypt themed books, fiction and non. I am in the middle of a nice one called the Egypt Game, but that is off topic (so is everything else, but let me get back to what I was talking about). I have deciphered the Ancient Egyptian sun-disc when I was but 11. I had organized an archaeological team at school during fifth grade, I went to the Met when I was, maybe, 7. I have gone to a local-ish store called the Dinosaur Store. Believe it or not, they also have an entire Egyptian selection. I have a miniature Obelisk and a statue of Bastet the cat goddess. They are so... Great! One of the hieroglyphs on the obelisk says Osiris so I have chosen to let that stand for Osiris, the god of the Dead. I have Bastet and Osiris... What a mix! I made a Sobek alligator out of clay once, to stand as the hieroglyph for Sobek, the alligator god. I have also sculpted a Tyet and the Eye of Horus amulets, the Tyet being the symbol of Isis and the Eye the symbol of Horus.

I have a collection of archaeological books and logs. I have quite a few non-fiction books littering my table, such as a translation of the Book of the Dead of Ani. A book about the pharaohs and gods, and a hieroglyph and symbols book. One of my logs from fourth grade is still in my room.

I would love to be a museum curator at a successful museum. I'd LIKE to be a curator at a museum around three hundred years ago in Victorian London, but not everyone gets what they want. ;) I at first wanted to be an Archaeologist and Egyptologist, but I then realized I hate sand. So, I will be a museum curator, an Egyptologist, and a grocery bagger to make a living on. ;) (<-- again)


Now you know my past Egyptian experiences. Here are my questions for you:

Are roses evil in Ancient Egypt?

Thank you!!
