Amun - God of Creation, crowned with ostrich feathers

Amun was an important god, but there are no stories about him. He created all things. At the same time, he remained apart from creation, totally different from it, and fully independent from it. In fact, he was invisible, so toi couldn't have a picture of him! However, if toi called him Amun-Re, this allowed people to see him. Then he had a hat with ostrich feathers on, and like all gods with human heads, a beard. Re is another way of spelling Ra, the sun god.

Tutankhamun's name contains the name of Amun. It also contains the Ankh, which means Life. His name means "Long life to Amun."
    
Amun is sometimes spelled Ammon. The fossil ammonites are called after him, because his sacred animal is a ram, and ammonites are shaped like ram's horns.

Ma'at - Goddess of Justice, ostrich feather in her hair

Ma'at was the goddess of truth, justice and harmony. She was the wife of Thoth, the god of wisdom, since toi need wisdom to find truth and justice. Both Ma'at and Thoth helped at the Weighing of the Heart.

The feather of Ma'at was an ostrich plume. She wore it on her head. The chief judge in charge of the Egyptian law courts was known as the "priest of Ma'at". He began court hearings par wearing the feather of Ma'at. The judge gave the feather to the person who won his case in the law courts.

The pharaoh had to promise that he would follow Ma'at. This means that he would be a just pharaoh, and keep order in Egypt.
Do toi like the switching points of view in The Red Pyramid? I do. If not, which view do toi like better? At some points I like Carter's more, and at other points I like Sadie's more. I really think that the switching of vues was a good idea because at that time Sadie may be trying to sleep ou may be unconius. ou Carter was waiting for Sadie and Anubis's talk to end while they were at a funeral in a parallel universe. (Yes these are examples of the book.) If toi couldn't have Sadie's point of view and Carter's point of view switch off, who would toi rather it be? I would do Bast and Zia. Bast...

Ra - Sun God, King of the Gods a faucon crowned with a sun disk ou a man with a falcon's head

Ra was the God of the Sun. He sailed across the heavens in a bateau called the 'Barque of Millions of Years'. At the end of each jour Ra was thought to die and sailed on his night voyage through the Underworld, leaving the Moon to light the world above. The bateau would sail through the twelve doors, representing the twelve hours of night time. The suivant dawn, he was born again.

It was not always smooth sailing. During the jour Ra had to fight his chief enemy, a snake called Apep. He was helped par the other...

What do toi think will happen in the suivant book. Of course it is going to have a problem, solution, and drama. The book will obviously mainly deal around Carter and Sadie trying to defeat a tradgedy, auch as a monster. What monster, what tradedy? Will they find Zia, and who will get hurt? Zia? Anibus???? Will Bast come back and reliove again since she has 7 lives? I think that the 2nd book will deal around that snake monster that controlled Set, if it comes, out, as it a dit in the book that it the snake thing was espcaping slowly. ou will Bast defend the world as she continues to battle the snake thing in that punishment area thingy? ou will she come out and release the smake thing so Carter and Sadie will be able to help her defeat it? So many questions, soon to be answered in less than a year.....

commentaire on what toi think will happen! Thanks!

If toi could interview Rick Riordan about his books, icluding The Red Pyramid, the Percy Jackson Seires, The Lost Hero, and all of his adult books, what questions would toi ask? I would ask him how he made up his livres and why he decided to make livres anyway. I would also ask him about his new livres for The Kane Chronicles, and the sequel seires to The Percy Jackson Series, The Heros of Olympus. In addition to that, I would ask hime about his upcoming livres for adults, and if after the seires of The Heroes of Olympus and the Kane Chronicles (whichever one ends first) if he has any upcoming ideas of a new seies. That's what I would ask him? After lire this article, have toi came up with some new questions? I hope so!
