There have been about 118 original square pyramids they were 480 Feet tall and the sides were 750 long and it weighed about 13 billion pounds and was built with 2.3 million blocks. It takes about 20 years to build one so that would mean they placed 12 blocks per hour day and night. The pyramids had polished limestone covering the whole pyramid but over time it had been stolen or earthquakes shook it off. And at the very top, there was a Benben stone at the top symbolizing their religion. Here is a picture of a dollar bill, I noticed the pyramid and if you look at the top of it, it reminds me of a Benben stone.

here is a short video that was with this lesson:

Recently our bean plants have been setting flowers but not beans, after a couple of days with still no beans and just flowers I asked Mellisa K. Norris and she said its probably due to the heat here. Today my dad and I went to check on it, and it was, unfortunately, it was starting to die. 

Our first tomato plants have also started to turn yellow my Dad said the soil in that plot isn’t very good.  

Today I finished a course about the history inventions from around 2630 BC to 1800 AD 

Here is a short list of things from the summary video:

• The world had changed after 1800 AD because people started to improve inventions and technology. 

• Inventions are like bricks in a building: you can’t place bricks in the air without other bricks to hold them up

• The Romans had the primary stuff to make a steam engine, but they didn’t invent the steam engine. That’s because they needed something else to base the idea on 

• Some machines couldn’t have been invented without the tools that were made to build them. For example, if the battery wasn’t invented then cars probably wouldn’t have been invented and computers and some types of toys

The course includes videos showing people actually using the different inventions and technology. For example here is a short video of a person using a catapult:

I liked the course because it showed how the inventions were made, how the inventions were used, and what they used for. I think you have to be at least ten years old to understand the course.

last week we had started getting melons from our Garden, so far we have gotten 3 melons the first one was a bit mushy but that was just because we picked it at the wrong time. I will try to post more soon!
