To produce such a mass, there must have been an impressive arsenal of scribes. In fact the word sesh, “scribe,” was among the most frequently used titles in ancient Egypt. It is also one of the earliest recorded, and there are representations of scribes carrying the tools of their craft (pigments, water pot, and pen) over their shoulders from various periods beginning with the Old Kingdom. The training of the scribes is well documented and the harsh treatment of apprentices is recorded both in texts and representations. It is perhaps no accident that the ancient Egyptian word for "teach," seba, also means "beat." Today, there are preserved copies of the efforts of some scribal apprentices whose works have been corrected in red by their masters.

You can find them here . Angel Jayhawk October 29, 2004 5:03 PM EDT October Screenshot Competition reminder that you have 2 more days to get your entries to me. So far we've had one entry - I'm sure more than one person has had a disaster that's worth a screenshot ... More information can be found here . GillB October 7, 2004 5:51 PM EDT October Screenshot Competition he October competition is being widened to include all the citybuilding games in the hopes of attracting more entries. The best entries will be added to our gallery. So, what's the competition? It's for a screenshot, taken in normal gameplay, for the heading ' Worst Disaster '. Earthquake, fire, flood ... any shot that you think comes under that description can be entered. I realise that not all the games have the same disasters, but each has something that can come under that heading. Contest Rules : 1. Your screenshot must be an image generated only by the core game (which does include the 'cheats'). 2. Your screenshot must be saved in jpg, jpeg, or gif format. 3. Your screenshot must not be retouched using image-editing software. 4. Your screenshot must not contain content in violation of HeavenGames rules and guidelines. 5. Screenshots must be received by 31st October. Screenshot Submissions : 1. You may enter a maximum of one screenshot for each of the CB games. 2. Submit your screenshot by attaching it to an email sent to gillb@heavengames.com GillB August 11, 2004 12:17 PM EDT Children of the Nile Section e've been busy, as you will soon notice, collecting lots of information for the upcoming Egytian game, Children of the Nile, from places like the official forums; and gathered it all in a little compendium. You can find the Heaven Games interview with Chris Beatrice there, and some new screen shots. Yes, new screenshots! The current design is still a temporary one, so don't be too disappointed if everything doesn't quite work yet. Many thanks to the Heaven Games team comprising Jayhawk, Pecunia, EJay and Granite Q, and special thanks of course to Chris Beatrice of Tilted Mill. You can find it here Enjoy! GraniteQ December 3, 2003 12:57 PM EST Backlog of Downloads ith a humble and well meant apology, I'd like to announce that all files submitted in the past five weeks have been approved. Some of you may know Angel Draco has stepped down from his position as Downloads Angel, and it seems I still need to get used to checking the new uploads myself. However, the service should be restored to normal. Angel Jayhawk October 7, 2003 5:34 PM EDT HeavenGames Demographics Survey an you spare a couple of minutes to help HeavenGames?
