Ancient Egyptians and Their Neighbors

The fascinating history of these peoples is presented in a lively text, interspersed with instructions for approximately 40 projects about the clothing, architecture, writing, food, and other cultural aspects of the times. Easily obtained materials such as pillowcases, clay, styrofoam, and paper-towel tubes are used, and instructions are presented for making such things as Hittite shoes, a Nubian tomb, Egyptian sailboats, a Mesopotamian queen’s headdress, and an Assyrian feast. Other activities include doing math, Sumerian style; reading Egyptian hieroglphs, and playing games that illustrate travel of the times.
