Overview
It takes all sorts to build a powerful kingdom: farmers, fishermen, slaves, sculptors . . . even pharaohs!
So, listen to our stories and we’ll tell you what life was really like in Ancient Egypt. Step back in time and meet a cast of characters who will give you an inside look at their daily lives.
Visit a boatman who carries cargo across the Nile, an embalmer who prepares the bodies of the dead for burial, and a papyrus maker who makes his own paper out of reeds. Featuring a map of Ancient Egypt, a timeline, a guide to writing hieroglyphics, and more, this engaging window into the world of Ancient Egypt breathes new life into ancient history.
