The Teach Ancient Egypt Platform
Created by Archaeologists, Egyptologists and Teachers in Egypt and the UK, this platform will help children learn what life in Ancient Egypt was really like. There’s so much more to it than pyramids, pharaohs and mummies!
​
​
From maths and science to literacy and art, all our resources are based on the theme of Ancient Egyptian daily life and bring together the experiences of normal Egyptians alongside those of the elite.
​
The learning resource also enables users to explore similarities and differences between life in Egypt in the past and life today.
You will find short videos by children from the UK and Egypt, editable worksheets, activity ideas, maps, timelines and more.
​
All Teachancientegypt resources may be downloaded and modified to fit your own school curriculum needs.
