The Old Kingdom in Egypt

The age of pyramids!!
Pyramids were huge tombs for the pharaohs, built by many many slaves. One pyramid took over 20 years to build! No wonder pharaohs started building their own pyramid as soon as they became rulers, they wanted their tomb to be finished before they died.

Pyramids still stand in Egypt today. They were discovered by archaeologists about a hundred years ago, this video shows you a real "tomb raider"


Horrible Histories website has couple of ancient Egyptian games, clink on the link below and select two games called "Mummy Madness" and "Tomb of Terror" to play!
