  1. Ancient Egypt

  2. Camels and horses stand tied to a fence below the Great Pyramid of Giza on October 21, 2013 in Cairo, Egypt. (Photo by Ed Giles/Getty Images) Few have traveled to the pyramids of Egypt and not wondered how an ancient civilization without modern technology could have constructed structures so large they can be viewed from space. Some have theorized they were built inside out. On the flakier side, some say aliens did it.

  3. What is the river that flows through Egypt? • The small tomb contained hundreds of objects (now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo), many richly decorated and covered in gold, that would be needed by the king in his afterlife. • Tutankhamen's Treasures

  4. hieroglyphics • The Egyptian writing called hieroglyphics used pictures to represent different objects, actions, sound or ideas. There were more than 700 hieroglyphs. Some pictures stood for whole words.

  5. What clothes did they were?

  6. Tutankhamen The most well known Egyptian Pharaoh today is, without doubt, Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun was probably born at Akhetaten which was the capital city of Egypt. He was born in about the year 1346 BC. His father was the pharaoh Akehenhaten. Tutankhamun became Pharaoh of Egypt soon after his father died in 1337 BC, when he was only nine years old. Soon after he became pharaoh, he married his teenage sister. This was a traditionalEgyptian thing to do. The image on the right shows Tutankhamun with his wife By the age of 19 he was dead. Did he die of natural causes or was he murdered? How do we know so much about Tankhamun even though he ruled for such a short time? The answer is simple. His tomb was well hidden for 3000 years and held treasures that tell us much about King Tut's life and death, as well as life in Ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. In a sense, King Tut's tomb was a time capsule.

  7. mummy's Tutankhamun'sname is also spelled Tutankhamen or Tutankhamon.

  8. Some pictures stood for whole words.

  9. Where in the world is Egypt? Where in the world is Egypt? Egypt is situated in the northeast corner of the Africa. Covering 386,662 square miles, it is almost twice the size of France and the twelfth largest country in Africa. To the north of Egypt is the Mediterranean Sea, to the south is the Sudan, to the west is Libya and to the east of Egypt is the Red Sea.

  10. The pyramids are the stone tombs of Egypt's kings - the Pharaohs and one of the world's greatest historical mysteries. They have stood for thousands of years, filled with many hidden secrets: clues about what life (and death) was like in Ancient Egypt. Why did the Ancient Egyptians build pyramids? The Egyptians believed that if the pharaoh's body could be mummified after death the pharaoh would live forever. The tombs were designed to protect the buried Pharaoh's body and his belongings.  Where were they built?

  11. The curse of the mummy began when many terrible events occurred after the discovery of King Tut's tomb. Legend has it that anyone who dared to open the tomb would suffer the wrath of the mummy. Because mummies have been associated with many magical powers throughout history, some of the mummies found from Egypt were ground into a fine powder and sold as mystical mummy powder. 

  12. Ever heard curse of the mummy? It's believed the powder had magical healing powers and it wasn't until the discovery of King Tut and the hype of the media that things would change forever.
