1.0 out of 5 stars Make it Work Review By A customeron January 3, 2000 Format: Paperback This book was a craft book. It had almost no info. There were about 10 paragraphs of info in the entire book. I felt it was a waist of money because I needed the book for research not Halloween. I will keep the book because it dose have neat crafts. I thought I would use a lot of index cards(I put the info for research on them)while useing this book but I couldn't even fill up 2. It is a good craft book but not a good book for research. I hope this review helped.

Very strange White Pharaoh and Queen, Black Priest and Scribe. The Royal family and the priests usually belong to the same race. In rare occasion the Pharaoh will have one Semite priest among his Black Priests.

Odd that they have the black kid as pharaoh in the cover but inside as white, both wear the double crown

Kantis: A new Australopithecus site on the shoulders of the Rift Valley near Nairobi, Kenya Emma Mbua ... Masato Nakatsukasa 2016 JHE 94:2844 doi 10.1016/j.jhevol.2016.01.006 < http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jhevol.2016.01.006>
Most Plio-Pleistocene sites in the Gregory Rift Valley that have yielded abundant fossil hominins lie on the Rift Valley floor. Here we report a new Pliocene site, Kantis, on the shoulder of the Gregory Rift Valley, it extends the geographical range of Au.afarensis to the highlands of Kenya. This species (sites in Ethiopia, Tanzania & possibly Kenya) is believed to be adapted to a wide spectrum of habitats, from open grassland to woodland.
