Eyewitness Workbooks: Ancient Egypt

Description

Some subjects are too interesting to be left at school! Carry on your love of history at home with Ancient Egypt–an activity-packed guide to one of history’s most fascinating civilizations.

Divided into sections, the book starts with fast facts on topics such as the pharaohs, the afterlife, religion, and the pyramids and ends with charts of famous Egyptian gods and rulers. Using this information, you can complete the puzzles in the main part of the book, plus there are hands-on activities such as designing a mummy’s case and writing in hieroglyphs. Finally, test your newfound knowledge with the quick quizzes (with answers supplied). You can keep track of your achievements throughout with a star chart to fill in every time you finish a page.

Note to parents: The Eyewitness Workbooks series is devised and written with the expert advice of educational and reading consultants and is designed to appeal to children ages 8 years and up. First published in 2007-2009, this series has been fully revised and updated for 2020.
