Our Trip to Egypt

• By

King Tutankhamun

• We just landed. Egypt is a country that is
  full of ancient treasures. First, we are going to
  see King Tutankhamuns tomb. When we found his
  tomb, we found out people called him King Tut.
  King Tut died at the age of 18 which we thought
  was sad. We saw King Tuts solid gold tomb, we
  learned about his gold mask and his fine jewelry.
  He lived from 1352 B.C to 1361 B.C. In the museum
  we learned that many people who entered King
  Tuts tomb, died mysteriously. Legend says there
  is a mummy curse. We were freaked out, so we ran
  out.

The Great Sphinx
Now we are visiting the great sphinx. The statue
was made for the King Khufu. The sphinx was made
with two million stones. The head represents
wisdom and is shaped like a humans head. The
body represents strength and is also a lions
body. It is 240 feet long and 65 feet tall. The
sphinx is a mythical creature. It was carved in
2500 B.C. It guards the pyramid of King Khafra.
The face of the sphinx was badly damaged by
soldiers shooting at it. The Sphinx's nose is
being repaired.

Rameses II
Here we are at Abu Simbel. The king ordered that
two temples will be carved. The Rameses II was
built for the queen. The four king statues stand
guard over the queens tomb. People in ancient
times said that Pharaoh Ramses was the greatest
king that ever lived. Many people from all over
the world go to visit this famous temple and
tomb.

Time To Go Shopping

• Today we are going to buy some toys to bring
  home. We had to go to the bank to trade in
  dollars for Egyptian pounds, which is the money
  used in Egypt. We want to buy one baby rattle for
  Hannahs baby cousin. Sarah and I want to buy
  some cool hair pins for us. Then we want to buy
  some marbles for our familys. We learned that
  marbles were first invented in Egypt, over 5,000
  years ago. After we buy all that, we went to a
  different store to buy some really cool balls,
  that looked just like the ones used in ancient
  times. Then Sarah and I bought an Egyptian flute
  for each other. Sarah wanted to buy one of their
  pretty scarves. We both wanted to buy something
  close to checkers, a game that was found in the
  kings tomb. Then we each bought a miniature
  flag. We decided we bought enough souvenirs, so
  we left the shops.

Visiting The Zoo

• After the festival we went to the zoo. At the
  zoo we saw all different kinds of animals like
  goats, sheep, chickens, camels, ibex, snakes,
  lizards, falcons, eagles, and some beautiful
  fish. Did you know, Camels drink twenty-five
  gallons of water in one time. Camels are the most
  common animal in Egypt. Egyptian people have many
  wild animals near their home.

7
Fashion

• People in Egypt wore eye makeup ,but it is not
  like our makeup today. They made it from crushed
  beetles in their tiny shells. Sometimes the
  makeup would be glittery because of it. They also
  wear wigs. The wigs are sometimes to heavy. One
  time a girl had a heavy wig and she needed people
  to help her walk. Egyptian people wear pins. They
  would wear them to pin their robes, and girls
  will also wore them in their hair. People keep
  their makeup in jars. Men and women in Egypt
  think fashion differently then we do today.

8
School

• Today we met up with Amr Adel. He taught us
  about his school and he let us visit. We learned
  they start at the age 6 and learn until they are
  12. They go to primary school instead of
  elementary school like we do. Girls learn to
  cook, sew, and embroidery. Boys have to learn to
  farm, make mettle and leather. All kids learn how
  to read and write. They only have to do math for
  two years. Only half of the students get to stay
  in primary school the rest of the kids do not.
  The kids speak Arabic but they have to learn
  English too. School seemed way different then
  yours and ours.

We Are Back In The U.S.A

• We just landed in back in New York. First, we
  went to Hannahs house to give her baby cousin
  her new baby rattle first because she was crying.
  After , we gave everyone there gifts we told them
  about our trip. They were surprised. We told them
  we were too. At Sarahs house her family was
  surprised too. When she gave the gifts to them
  they were in shock. She also told them about our
  trip to Egypt. Then it was 900pm and we all went
  to bed and dreamed about Egypt again.

The Lands and Water Bodies

• Egypt boarders the Mediterranean Sea. Sudan is
  a land that is south of Egypt. The Red Sea and
  Israel boarders east Egypt. There is four land
  regions in Egypt. The west dessert and the east
  covers most of Egypt. Sinai peninsula region is
  in northeast of Egypt. The Rugged mountains rise
  about 8,600 ft. above sea level. The most amazing
  river is in Egypt, that river is the Nile River.
  It runs north of Egypt. The Nile River is the
  longest river in the world. Did you know 99 of
  the Egyptians live along the Nile River.
  Everything about the land and water bodies is
  interesting.

13
Life In Egypt

• Most people live in country villages. Most
  adults are farmers. One time a farmer made his
  house of straw. Normally their house is made out
  of mud bricks. In Egyptian houses they have no
  electricity or running water. They live and work
  in busy cities. There is most apartment
  buildings. Some of them are small, but some are
  large. Life in Egypt is unlike ours.
