ANCIENT EGYPTBy Nathan and Erik

The river NileAbout 5000 years ago, a great civilisation

[way of life] grew up in Egypt on the banks of the River Nile. It lasted for more than 3000 years. We are still amazed at the wonderful achievements of its people.

Reading Hieroglyphics

Egyptian priests decorated the wall of temples and tombs with a kind of picture writing called Hieroglyphics.

KHUFU During his lifetime, the pharaoh Khufu

made detailed plans for his own burial and his journey into the next life. He instructed his builders to build a splendid pyramid at Giza, on the banks of the River Nile.

GREAT PYRAMIDThe great pyramid was originally covered

with layers of sparkling, white limestone.

The boy pharaoh Tutankhamen was only eight when he

became king of Egypt. He married Ankhesenpaaten, and his reign lasted from 1333 to 1323 BC.
