Egyptian Gods and Goddesses
Religion was a very important part of Egyptian life. The ancient
egyptian worshipped many gods and goddesses. They where
often shown with animal heads to represent their their magical
powers.
The ancient Egyptians did not simply build a pyramid and bury the
pharaoh. A whole city, called pyramid city, grew up around a pyramid
during its construction. The pharaoh provided homes for everyone
who worked on the pyramid construction. People were paid for their
work in goods, food and homes.
A papyrus sheet
The Rosetta
Stone
The discovery of the
Rosetta Stone in 1799 was
an extremely important clue
for our understanding of
hieroglyphs. It is a slab of
black granite with the same
inscription written in three
different scripts:
Hieroglyphic, Demotic, and
Greek, which helped to
translate the hieroglyphs.
