It is time to say goodbye to ancient Egypt — what a journey it has been! We sailed the Nile, the longest river in the world, and saw how its yearly flood left rich silt for farming. We met the pharaohs, visited the Great Pyramid, and peeked into King Tut's golden tomb.
We cracked the code of hieroglyphics with the Rosetta Stone and learned how mummies were made for the afterlife. This week, we saw daily life: mud-brick houses, bread and dates, trading at the market, and kids playing senet and ball games.
Ancient Egypt lasted about 3,000 years — one of the longest-lasting civilizations ever! Its pyramids, temples, and treasures still amaze people today. You are now an Egypt expert!
