Ancient Egyptians
  • How did they live?

People of the past

    people who lived there thousands of years ago are
    called ancient Egyptians. This picture shows a
    group of servants.

Farmers
  • Egyptian farmers grew fruit, vegetables and other
    plants on the banks of the Nile. Farmers kept
    some of the crops to eat, and took the rest to
    markets.

At home
  • Ancient Egyptian houses were made of dried mud
    and painted white. Houses had small windows to
    keep out the hot sun. Some people had a pool in
    their garden where they kept fish to eat.

Kings of Egypt
  • The pharaoh was the king of the Egyptians. He was
    the richest and most important person in the
    whole world. All pharaohs wore crowns. Some were
    decorated with gold and jewels. This is a
    painting of Ramses III.

Hidden treasure
  • The tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun was hidden
    for thousands of years. Inside there were rooms
    with glittering treasure. This big and heavy mask
    covered the face of Tutankhamuns mummy. It is
    made of gold and thin strips of glass.

Fun and games
  • Egyptians loved sports and games, as well as
    music, dancing and parties. Men liked to have
    boating contests on the River Nile. This painting
