Outline 1.)Ranofer ventures follows Gebu out into the darkness in extreme fear, chanting spells to keep spirits away. As he looks for Gebu, something trips him, and thinking it is some unknown attacker he races home. He then realizes it was a cat. 2.) Ranofer goes out once more to look for Gebu, but weak with fear, returns home resolved to follow Gebu the next time he sneaks out. 3.) Ranofer waits many nights for Gebu to sneak out, but when it doesn’t happen he becomes discouraged with spying altogether. 4.) Ranofer tries to turn his attention to stone cutting to learn it as a trade as the Ancient suggests and one day asks Gebu about the purpose of a particular room drawn in the plans of a tomb. Gebu reacts in extreme anger and hits Ranofer, telling him never to ask questions again. 5.) That night Gebu beats Ranofer again demanding an explanation for his question about the room. Ranofer cries out that he was merely trying to learn more about the stone cutting trade, but would cease the attempt from then on. 6.) After Gebu leaves, Ranofer sneaks into Gebu room and finds a Golden Goblet in Gebu’s wooden chest of shanties (clothes). His finds written on the goblet the name “Thutmose-Nefer-Kheperu, “ a Pharaoh of Egypt from a hundred years previous, and realizes Gebu has robbed a grave! The greatest of all crimes in Egypt. 7.) On his way out of the room, Ranofer realizes he broke a clay seal on the door Gebu placed there to reveal intrusions.
Summery - The following midday Heqet said he had discovered a great place to watch Wenamon's house. It was an alley right behind the Apprentice's Quarters and his house. Ranofer thought they might be trying to avoid each other. That night Ranofer followed Gebu to Wenamon's house. When Ranofer crept in there a dog started chasing him. Heqet saw him. So he threw nuts at the dog and that stopped it. They then crept away unseen. A few nights later Ranofer knew what Gebu was after, Gold, he went out after Gebu. While he was standing he felt something claw at him and he was scared to death. He ran back to the house and flopped down on his mat. He realized it was just a cat. The next day he asked Gebu about the tomb. Gebu beat him. That night, Ranofer went into Gebu's room and found a golden goblet with the name Thutmose the Great. He was even more worried about the broken clay seal on Gebu's door. In one glance, Gebu would know that he'd been in his room.

The chapter talked about you need to have money to things. One of things was that you need to pay money to be mummify and to buy a tomb. That shows that people who didn't have money couldn't go in a tomb when they died. I would hate if that happen to me.
Marcus - Researcher - When in chapter ten, it stated "Gebu had to have stolen it (the goblet) from a tomb," it made me think about what exactly why put in the tombs. There are three chambers, but normally only one contains the mummy. The other two, however, contain the commonly and stereotyped treasures of the pharaoh, but also things such as art and sculptures.
Clay itself - Clay is a fine-grained natural rock or soil material that combines one or more clay minerals with traces of metal oxides and organic matter. Clays are plastic due to their water content and become hard, brittle and non–plastic upon drying or firing. clayGeologic clay deposits are mostly composed of phyllosilicate minerals containing variable amounts of water trapped in the mineral structure. Depending on the content of the soil, clay can appear in various colours, from white to dull gray or brown to a deep orange-red.Clays are distinguished from other fine-grained soils by differences in size and mineralogy. Silts, which are fine-grained soils that do not include clay minerals, tend to have larger particle sizes than clays. There is, however, some overlap in particle size and other physical properties, and many naturally occurring deposits include both silts and clay. It is one of the oldest building materials on Earth, among other ancient, naturally-occurring geologic materials such as stone and organic materials like wood. Between one-half and two-thirds of the world's population, in traditional societies as well as developed countries, still live or work in a building made with clay as an essential part of its load-bearing structure. Also a primary ingredient in many natural building techniques, clay is used to create adobe, cob,cordwood, and rammed earth structures and building elements such as wattle and daub, clay plaster, clay render case, clay floors and clay paints and ceramic building material. Clay was used as a mortar in brick chimneys and stone walls were protected from water. A traditional use of clay as medicine goes back to prehistoric times. An example is Armenian bole, which is used to soothe an upset stomach, similar to the way parrots (and later, humans) in South America originally used it. Kaolin clay and attapulgite have been used as anti-diarrheal medicines. Clay sculpting - The most easily recognized form of sculpting is clay modeling, that is, the creation of a 3-dimensional piece of art typically using some type of clay: Plastilina (oil-based clay also known as plasteline, plasticium, plasticine), self-hardening (non-firing) clay, ceramic/pottery clay, wax or other polymer-based material. Clay is highly versatile, extremely easy to work with, and the ideal modeling material for the beginner as well as the seasoned sculptor. With nothing more than a block of clay, the artist can begin his journey of creativity. Your choice of material is a very personal one - based upon feel, texture, and hardness of the material, and possible required reproduction of the finished piece.In addition to the materials selected, the artist also uses modeling tools to manipulate the material into the shape desired. These sculpting tools come in various shapes, sizes and styles and are used to cut, scrape or shape the modeling material to create a specific effect. They are usually produced from carbon steel, stainless steel, wood, and plastic. There are several types of clay used for sculpture, all varying in terms of handling and finish. Oil-based modelling clay can appear unrefined and be tricky for detailed work, but it stays soft and workable, making it good for practising with. Polymerbased modelling clay is equally soft and can be baked in a household oven to fix a composition. It can be prone to cracking though.The other main type is pottery or ‘firing’ clay – a water-based substance that can be shaped and fired at temperatures in excess of 250°F to stay firm. This is the method used for creating household ceramics. Water-based clay is often shaped on a potter’s wheel but by far the easiest way to create your desired shapes is by using hand-building techniques. As I may of kind of mentioned before, working in three dimensions will take some getting used to. If you are creating a 3D sculpture for your home, consider which direction it will be most commonly viewed from and try to ensure that if your first attempt isn’t perfect from all angles, it will at least look good in position. The other alternative is to try a relief sculpture by building up forms on a flat slab of clay that won’t be viewed from all sides.

In this chapter Ranofer is walking into the valley of tombs. Ranofer really wanted to go to the festival with everyone, he still wanted to find out about the valley of tombs. When he was following the the people who were in front of him, he lost where they were. It also talked about how he found tomb.
Marcus - Social Class Master - One of the few social classes mentioned in chapter 13 was the guards, quickly discussed when Ranofer is eavesdropping on Wenamon and Gebu's secret meeting, in which Gebu says "even the guards will be feasting in Thebes."
