Ancient Egypt

As we enter into Ancient Egypt, we find ourselves in a fantastic unit - one of my favorite!  There is so much history in Egypt, from the pharaohs, to the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and so much more!  It always amazes me when I am reminded that all this construction was done by hand...and each brick (of millions) weighed 5000 pounds - that's more than my car weighs.  And there was no mechanized equipment!  Amazing.

Well, below are a few links that I have found - some of them are pretty cool:

National Geographic Egypt - A great website that allows you to explore these ancient buildings.

Discovering Egypt - loaded with activities, art examples, full of interactive stuff to look at.

PBS Pyramids - The website behind their great documentary on the building of the ancient wonders.
