Ancient Egypt
Remember that when you enter a new country you must follow their rules or you may
find yourself in trouble.
Follow these rules and you should be fine:

oNever meet up with anyone you don’t already know
oDon’t download without permission
oBe careful what you post (including pictures)
oNever share passwords or pin numbers
o If anything makes you uncomfortable, report it!
How to be Safe
Where are we?You have traveled back in time to a land in Africa which we call Egypt.There is one river that you rely on- the Nile River.The Egyptians called the land; black land and red land.Black land had rich fertile soil and was close to the Nile River. Here farming could occur.Red land was in the barren desert where you could find precious metals.Discussion: Would you rather live in
the black land or the red land?
Quick QuestionWork with your tables to come up with your
answer.
Which land has fertile soil that can be farmed?
A. The green land
B. The yellow land
C. The black land
D. The red land
Correct!The black land is the land close to the Nile that can be
farmed.

Look back in the PowerPoint or
visit this website to help you answer this question.
You can do it! Do not give up!
MummificationEgyptians believed when someone died, they went to the afterlife.
Did you know? The afterlife was more important
then your living life?Mummification is the process of preserving dead
bodies.
First remove the brain and organs.
Next, put the important organs in canopic jars.
Then cover the body and fill it with salt for 40 days.
Take away the salt and fill the body with
preservatives to embalm it.
Wrap the body in linens and put it in a sarcophagus.

Information StationWork with your tables to come up with your
answers.
The Afterlife was a punishment in Ancient Egypt.
True False
Correct!The Ancient Egyptians believed the Afterlife was more important
then the life they were living.
In death they would be honored.
IncorrectThe Ancient Egyptians could not wait for the
Afterlife. They felt they only lived on Earth as a test for their Afterlife. The Afterlife was very
important in their culture.
Out of the following choices, which comes first in the mummification process?
Wrap the body in linens
Place the body in a sarcophagus
Fill the body with salt for 40 days
Fill the body with preservatives
Fantastic!
After removing the brains and the internal organs, important organs are
placed in canopic jars. (The heart is left in the body.) Then the body is filled with
salt for 40 days to let it dry out! The rest follows!
Keep Thinking!Remember, it may not be the very first
step in the mummification process.
Hint: What comes after they put important organs in canopic jars?
Pyramids After the
mummification process is finished, they are transferred to their pyramids.
Pharaohs, rulers of Egypt, would start
building pyramids at the start of their
reign.
Pyramids were also built when important
babies were born.
Discuss with your tables who we would build pyramids for today.

Building the PyramidsBuilding pyramids took
years and was very dangerous.
Builders felt honored to work on pyramids for their
pharaohs.But they could die if a
block fell on them during construction.
There were no forklifts or cranes. They had to use
ramps and their own strength.
One block could weigh 2 tons or 4,000 pounds

Can you build a pyramid?
Inside the PyramidsPyramids had different chambers/rooms within them.
Some contained fake rooms and traps to protect from thieves.
Rooms had items that the deceased would need for their afterlife.

own.Watch a video on the tombs of Ancient Egypt
Quick QuestionWork with your tables to come up with your
answer.
Which statement is true?
Building pyramids took a few weeks.
Pyramids were never broke into.
Life for a pyramid builder was easy.
Pyramids were built for those who were important.
Great Job!If you were important, a pyramid would be built in your honor for
you to spend the Afterlife in.
Pyramid builders had hard lives that were dangerous.
Pyramids took years to build!
Pyramids were built with tricks and traps because they knew grave robbers would try
to come steal items placed in the tombs
Try Again!
Pyramids took years to build!
Try Again!
Traps, fake rooms and tricks were built into
pyramids because builders
knew grave robbers would
try to come take items from the
tombs.
Try Again!
Lives of pyramid builders were long, tiring and dangerous. They worked from sunrise to sunset with little breaks. They had to use their own strength and devise ways to get blocks into their proper places.
*But remember it was an honor to help build a pyramid for your pharaoh.
HieroglyphicsHow do we know all of this is true?
The Egyptians had their own form of writing called hieroglyphics. It is formed by symbols which represent sounds and can be combined to create words.
They wrote things down just like you and I on pieces of paper. Except only government officials and priests knew how to read and write using hieroglyphics.
Their paper was called papyrus.

Quick QuizWork with your tables to come up with your
answer.
Would you have been able to read and write hieroglyphics?
Yes No
Correct!
As of right now, you would not be able to
read or write hieroglyphics. If you became a
government official or a priest you
would learn how to read and write.
Oops!
At this point in time, no one in this class would be able to
read or write hieroglyphics. It was reserved only for
government officials and priests. If you were lucky enough to work in one of
these two areas you would learn how to.
King Tut
The Boy PharaohKing Tutankhamun is the most famous pharaoh to be found in the Valley of the Kings.
King Tut became pharaoh at the age of 9- What were you doing when you were nine?
He died when he was 18 years old.
His tomb contained many fake rooms and was almost completely intact when it was discovered in 1922.
Many mysteries surround his reign, his death and his tomb.
Did you know? King Tutankhaumun changed his name from Tutankhauten because of growing support for the old
god Amun.
Fast Fact:About 20 people who opened King Tut’s tomb died mysterious deaths.
Do you know the correct age?
Work with your tables to come up with your answer.
At what age did King Tut become Pharaoh?
7 9
11
13
Correct!
At the age of 9, King Tut was named pharaoh of all of Egypt. He would have
a short life to live and many mysteries
surrounded his life and death.
Nice TryKing Tut was young, but that
was not the right age when he was named Pharaoh for all of
Egypt.
Click on King Tut’s Mask to find more information on his life and when he
was named Pharaoh.
WebQuest Opportunity
Enter this WebQuest if desired and
complete the missions!
Exploration Time!
Now that you have reviewed and learned about Ancient Egypt, it
is time for you to explore on your own. Remember that you are in a “different
country” and need to follow their rules. Your mission is explained on the piece of papyrus on
the right.
Your mission if you choose to accept it
(which you must), is to research a Pharaoh,
one of his relations, or a god from Ancient
Egypt. After researching, create a presentation for the
class. It may be, but is not limited to, a
PowerPoint, a brochure, a Garageband
production, or a newspaper article or obituary. Be creative and have fun. Rubrics and directions will be passed out shortly.
