Jackson appreciated being recognized for following the rules, but he was so out of it that he had barely registered what the professor had said. He heard the mixed reactions as points were given and taken, as had become so frequent this year. And others may not care, but Jackson still wanted to win the House Cup. He still had his house pride. Go Claws. At the professor's question, Jackson raised his hand slowly. He knew a little bit about hieroglyphics at least...
"Hieroglyphics are the epitome of the phrase 'a picture is worth a thousand words' I think. The Egyptians called them the words of god, although I can't remember the specific god they referred to... " He tried to remember for a second, but he immediately felt dizzy. "Anyway, they used these like, engraved pictures to tell their history and stuff." *Sssssniff* Sorry Professor. Jackson tried to clear his nose as subtly as possible while others answered. |
