How life used to be different in ancient Egypt
Life in Ancient Egypt was different to today. Poor children didn't use to go to
school. Children from rich families used to start school when they were about seven.
Children used to enjoy playing games. When older parents died, they used to leave
their houses to the sons. The Ancient Egyptians used to leave jewellery and
furniture inside their houses to the daughters. They lived around the Nile River
where they could grow crops. They built pyramids. You can still see these pyramids
today. They knew a lot about maths, medicine and farming.
