This afternoon in P4 we have been researching the Egyptians for our topic. We used this website.
As well as answering some questions we came up with some fascinating facts.
Emma, Cara and Leah found out that there was an Egyptian God of Death, a God of the Sky and there is a secret door in the Pyramids.
Keri, Alicia and Eilidh found out that Rameses the Second had over 200 wives, 96 sons and 60 daughters. He wouldn’t have worried about Christmas presents though the girls found out, as Christmas wasn’t celebrated as Jesus hadn’t been born in Ancient Egyptian times, and Egyptians worshipped many Gods, not one God. They also discovered that Egypitans bathed in the River Nile and their soap was made out of animal fat and chalk. When people where Mummified oil and salt was put onto their skin. They also found out that Egyptians had 10 days in their week instead of 7. Keri thought it would be hard going to school for 7 days without a break!
Luke, Levi and Cameron found out that Tutankhamun was named the boy King after his Dad died as he was a King from the age of 9. They learned that most of the artifacts in Britain come from Sakhara. They also found that flint knives have very sharp edges and can be used for shaving and hairdressing.
Melissa, Katie and Emily found out that Cleopatra, who was a Queen, killed herself using a poisonous snake. They also found out that Tutankhamun’s father died when he was 25, and that Tutankhamun became King when he was only 9 (no pressure P5’s !)
Rachael and Sasha found out that the Egyptians made pink vases from Alabaster. They also found that the Egyptians made paper from plant called Papyrus.
Kai, Jack and Elle found out that most of the artefacts from Egypt which are currently in Britain were found in the 19th Century.
Jamie, Tyrese and Andrew found out that Julius Caeser, who was a Roman Emporer, was married to Cleopatra and so was Mark Anthony.
Logan and Matthew discovered that Tutankhamun was the 12th King of the dynasty.
Zoe, Ellis and Amy found out that when Tutankhamun was King, two generals took a lot of the decisions for him until he was older. He died of a head injury when he was 19.
