Ancient Egypt Elementary

Lesetext

Ancient Egypt was a great civilization long ago. It was in Africa, along the Nile River. The Egyptians built amazing things that we can still see today. They lived over 4,000 years ago!

The most famous buildings are the pyramids. The pyramids were tombs for the pharaohs, who were the kings of Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the biggest. It took 20 years to build!

Egyptians also made mummies. When a pharaoh died, they wrapped the body in cloth. They put the mummy in the pyramid with gold and treasures. They believed the pharaoh would need these things in the afterlife.

The Egyptians invented many things. They created a calendar with 365 days. They wrote using pictures called hieroglyphics. They also built huge statues called the Sphinx.

Scientists called archaeologists study ancient Egypt. They dig up old tombs and find amazing things. We still learn new facts about Egypt today. It is one of the most fascinating places in history!
