On October 24 2014 scientists lead by Professor Abdel Muhammad Gader recovered over 400 bodies covered in coral from the Red Sea. These artifacts dated back to 14th century BC. There were probably over 5,ooo bodies there and such a large number suggests that an army could have been the reason for so many bones. Many different clues brought Gader and his crew to the conclusion that this find was linked to the Biblical story of the Red Sea parting.
First of all, by the positioning of the bodies, the men seemed to have been killed by a tidal wave or mudslide. Also, there is no evidence of ships or boats so the soldiers seemed to have died on dry land. Many other reasons brought Gader to conclude that he found the ancient Red Sea Crossing, but can you come to the same conclusion?

Conclusion of what we had learned
Throughout this time learning about why is
important to keep up with news, it had been very helpful, because we got to
know some stuff that’s going on around the world like Ebola etc. We had some
adult mentality in this time because we thought about something that could help
solve a problem like mature people. It is also important to keep up with
current events because if you get a disease you will need to know what it is
and how to treat it. Another thing is important to know is what animals are
endangered because if you go hunting and
you kill an endangered species you could go to jail for not knowing it was
endangered. Also, if the plague in the world, and you don´t know it you might
get the plague. So you should know about the current events.

Current Events- What We Learned
Over the past couple of days, we all agree that the importance of keeping up with current events is that we can be involved in the world if we know what is happening in the world. The way we can get involved is by praying, by donating money, and any other ways available. We can partner with other countries around the world, and each country wont be isolated, they can contribute to big things. If we know whats going on in other countries, like an epidemic, we can prepare for it in our own country, and for example, we can send field medics to research about the disease. More than anything, helping others in need is very important, and if you know whats going on in the world, you can donate to organizations that help said people.

Remains of Egyptian Army
Remains of Egyptian Army
In 2014 an Egyptian Army from
the 14th century, was found at the bottom of the Gulf of Suez, in
The Red Sea. The Scientists leaded by Professor Abdel Muhammad Gader estimated
that there were about 5000 bodies dispersed through the area.
Professor Gader and his team
concluded that the bodies are from the Bible story, Exodus. Some clues that led
to this conclusion are that the soldiers seemed to have died in dry land
because there weren’t remains of boats. Another clue is how the bodies were found,
they were stuck in clay, which tells us they could’ve died for mudslide or
tidal wave.
It shows that the parting of
The Red Sea, was a historical event. This discovery brought new perspectives of
many stories that historians thought were false.

Millionaires Against Ebola
Millionaires Against Ebola
Ebola was a disease that was rare and deadly, in its
time. The first person who was cured from this disease, Amber Vinson, was a nurse from Texas at Texas Health
Presbyterian Hospital.
US billionaire Paul Allen, decided to give $100
million to the cause of Ebola. This event took place on October 23rd.
“ I am committed to doing my part in tackling this crisis,” explained Mr.
Allen. In the past, he donated $26 million to the red cross for the same cause.
$7.5 million were given to the University of

Millionaires against Ebola - Gadget Team
There were over 4,900 cases rising in West Africa. Pau Allen (Billionaire) made a significant dent to their request by announcing that his foundation would pledge $100 USD million towards the fighting Ebola. When Mr,Allen was making an announcement, he said "Ebola virus is unlike any health crisis we have ever experienced and needs a response unlike anything we have ever seen." He went on saying that they could actually prevent Ebola from becoming a global epidemic.
Mr.Allen wasn't the only person donating to defeat Ebola virus. September 10th of 2014 the Microsoft company and Bill Gate donated. Bill Gate donated around $50 USD millions. The founder of the social page of Facebook also donated to this cause, Mark Zuckerberg, added $25 USD million to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Foundation. The millions of dollars that were donated were used to buy pencil equipment and train personnel. Millionaires were not the only ones trying to defeat this, but also the Health Organization were working with scientist to come up with an efficient vaccine. The efficient vaccine was prepared to come out in the 2015. Ebola was prepared to be a distant memory.
Mr.Allen’s foundation has donated $26 million to the Red Cross to train doctors to fight out Ebola. To help provide medical supplies Mr.Allen’s foundation donated $7.5 million to the University of Massachusetts to train personnel. It was hard in Africa to prevent Ebola because there was only 50 doctors in the whole country. Mr.Allen hopes to make medical services more stable in Africa. Also Mr.Allen has hired journalists to report the news about Ebola accurately and he donated so that the US can evacuate Ebola patients safely.
