How did the Ancient Egyptians live and why did they build pyramids?

Level: Primary / Intermediate / Secondary

A great place to start is the BBC ancient history section - it has heaps of useful information on all aspects of Ancient Egyptian civilisation including their gods and beliefs, pyramids and mummies. This is one of our favourite sites for anything about history.

HOT TIP: If you are keen on finding out more about how other ancient civilisations worked - the BBC Ancient History site also great sections on Vikings, Greeks & Romans. Or you could also try the BBC History for Kids pages. These have been created specially for children aged 7 to 9 years old and are heaps of fun.
