KIDS TALK BACK:Egyptian gods

The Daily Pilot asked sixth-graders at Newport Heights Elementary School, “Which Egyptian god or goddess would you be?”

“Osiris, because I’d live

forever.”

Noah Popick, 11

Costa Mesa

“Ra,

because

that’s the

creator of

the universe.”

John Hernandez, 11

Costa Mesa

“I’d be

Ma’at, because she’s the

goddess of justice and

harmony, and I think that’s

an important part of our

world here in Newport

Beach.”

Madison Mastera, 12

Newport Beach

“I’d be Hathor, because

she’s Osiris’ wife, and Osiris is

cool.”

Frankie Willis, 11

Newport Beach

“I’d be

Osiris,

because he’s the god of the

underworld. You just kind of

control it like a kingdom.”

Hanah Saxton, 11
