Ancient Egypt, a land shrouded in mystery and wonder, lay along the banks of the great Nile. Imagine towering pyramids, standing tall against the sky, hiding secrets of pharaohs long gone. Picture symbols, called hieroglyphics, telling stories of a past civilization. They worshipped a pantheon of gods and held a firm belief in life after death.
