Egyptian Activities
- Pharaoh For A Day -- Each area of Egypt had its own crown. The crown of Upper Egypt was white, and the crown of Lower Egypt was red. When the two sections of Egypt were united under one Pharaoh, the crowns were combined. Make your own Egyptian crown with this activity!
- Ready? Set? Dig! -- The science of archaeology is nearly 150 years old. Often, the most significant information comes from studying the remains of common people, rather than the impressive tombs of pharaohs. Try your hand as an archaeologist, and see what stories you can uncover!
- What's Important To You? -- Ancient Egyptians had strong beliefs about the afterlife, and they made elaborate preparations to help themselves reach the next world. What things would you take with you to the afterlife?
