ANCIENT EGYPT
This website is maintained by Deborah McMurtrie, a second grade teacher at Aiken Preparatory School. Each year the second and third grade students at Aiken Prep research, write, and produce an original play. This year we decided to research ancient Egypt.
Introduction
Egypt is where one of the oldest civilizations in the world began. Thousands
of years ago, Egyptians invented paper and one of the first forms of writing,
called hieroglyphic writing. Ancient Egyptians built some of the most amazing
buildings the world has ever known. Their painters and sculptors created
beautiful works of art. Their doctors went to school to study how the body
works. They
even learned how to mummify and preserve their bodies. To learn more about
the great civilization of ancient Egypt, click on the links below.
