Egypt Fun Facts

Real history, woven into every rhyme. Here are just a few tasters:

01Ancient Egyptians built over 130 pyramids. The Great Pyramid at Giza was the tallest structure on Earth for nearly 4,000 years.
02Mummies were wrapped in up to 20 layers of linen, sometimes with lucky charms tucked inside to protect them in the afterlife.
03Pharaohs were considered living gods. Even after death, they were believed to watch over Egypt from the afterlife.
04Egyptian children played with wooden toys, dolls, and spinning tops. Some things never change — even across 3,000 years!

“The perfect blend of education and entertainment. My son laughed out loud at the mummy and spent the whole next day educating his little sister about Egypt. Wonderful.”
