Have you ever marveled at the great pyramids of Giza? These amazing structures were built around 4500 years ago and are one of the last remaining Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. But did you know they were not just spectacular monuments, but also tombs for Pharaohs?
The Pharaohs were the most powerful people in ancient Egyptian society. Below them were priests and officials, then soldiers, scribes, merchants, and lastly, farmers. Each group had a role to play, like pieces in a game of Senet, an Egyptian board game.
But life in ancient Egypt wasn t all about work. The people had a rich and complex belief system. They worshipped many gods, including Ra, the god of the sun, Isis, the goddess of magic and healing, and Anubis, who guarded the souls of the dead.
Ancient Egypt - a land of pyramids, Pharaohs, and gods. A civilization that, even after thousands of years, still holds so many secrets.
