    fertilized the soil.

    They worshipped many


    gods in their world.

    The ancient Egyptians


    left behind some great
    monuments that can
    still be seen today, such
    as the pyramids.
    Ancient Egypt

    For 3000 years, the people of ancient Egypt were ruled by pharaohs,
    similar to kings or queens. Pharaohs were seen as living gods.

    One of the most well-known pharaohs is


    called Tutankhamun. His tomb was
    discovered by the famous archaeologist
    Howard Carter. It was one of the richest
    finds in history!
