Have you ever heard about the Pyramids of Giza? These giant stone structures were built a long time ago in Egypt. They were not just any buildings; they were special tombs for the Pharaohs, who were the kings of ancient Egypt. Imagine thousands of workers spending many years stacking huge stones to create these amazing pyramids!
Inside the pyramids, there are lots of secrets. There are tunnels, rooms, and hidden passageways that make them like giant mazes. The most famous pyramids are named after the Pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Each pyramid was built to honor and protect the Pharaoh buried inside.
Now, let’s talk about mummies! When a Pharaoh or a rich Egyptian person died, their body was turned into a mummy. This was done to keep their body safe for a long time. First, the body was cleaned and covered with sweet-smelling oils. Then, it was wrapped up in lots of bandages, kind of like a big, ancient band-aid!
After that, the mummy was placed inside a fancy coffin called a sarcophagus. Egyptians believed that when someone died, they would have another life after death. So, they put things like furniture, food, and other useful items next to the mummy. They thought these things would help the person in their next life.
Did you know that the Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World? It’s the only one still standing today!
Also, the ancient Egyptians wrote using pictures called hieroglyphs. They used these symbols to tell stories and record important events.

Create a Mummy Wrap: Use a doll or a small toy to create your own mummy. Wrap it with strips of cloth or paper towels, just like the ancient Egyptians did with bandages.

You can make up your own symbols or find some examples of hieroglyphs online. Write a short message and see if a friend or family member can decode it. Discuss how hieroglyphs were an important part of Egyptian culture.
I’m sure you’ve heard about the Pyramids of Giza, but did you know that they were massive tombs for Pharaohs? Thousands of laborers worked for years to build a pyramid. The inside of the pyramids is full of mysteries, including tunnels, chambers, and secret passageways. The most important pyramids are those of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure.
What about mummies? Do you know what they are? When a pharaoh or a wealthy Egyptian died, the body was prepared to be preserved for as long as possible. The body was cleaned and covered with aromatic substances, then wrapped in bandages. Later on, the body was placed in luxurious sarcophagi. Egyptians believed in life after death, which is why next to the deceased, they would leave furniture, food, and other objects they thought might be useful in the next life.
