 Which
one do you think we will study??


The Great Sphinx is a large
human-headed lion that was
carved from a mound of natural
rock. It is located in Giza where
it guards the front of Khafra's
pyramid.

The Great Sphinx is a stone
monument built about 4000
years ago, in ancient times. It
is located on the Giza Plateau
in Egypt. It was carved out of
limestone with a human face
on a lion's body.
The ancient Egyptians were
sun worshipers. The ancient
Egyptian word for sphinx
means the "living image of
Atum". Atum is the creator
god and the setting sun. So
the Sphinx was probably built
to honor the Egyptian sun god,
Re.
Some archaeologists believe
the Sphinx is part of a set of
monuments built to create a
very special place of worship.
These monuments include the
Great Pyramid, the Sphinx,
the Causeway, and the Valley
Temple, all of which can be
found on the Giza Plateau.
The sphinx (SFINKS) was a makebelieve animal of long ago. It had
the head of a person, the body of a
lion, and the wings of a bird. The
sphinx lived near a city called
Thebes (THEEBZ). When people
came into Thebes, they had to pass
by the sphinx, but the animal killed
them unless they gave the right
answer to a riddle.
The sphinx asked this question:
“What has four legs in the morning,
two legs at noon, and three legs at
night?” No one could think of the
answer.
Grab a sticky note, and write down YOUR answer. Keep it a secret!!!
Now that everyone has an answer, quietly discuss with your group each of your
answers. Choose the best one to share with the class.

At last, a man came to Thebes who solved the riddle. “I know
what has four legs, then two, and then three,” he said. “A person
does. The time of day is like the time in a person’s life. Morning
is the beginning of the day. In the morning of life, people are
babies. They crawl on all fours. Noon is the middle of the day. In
the middle of life, people walk on two legs. Night is the end of
the day. At the end of life, people are old. They use canes. That
gives them three legs.”

The sphinx was so angry that it jumped off the mountain and
died. The people of Thebes were happy that the sphinx was gone.
They made this wise man their king.
Legends have been
told for many years
about the Great
Sphinx. These stories
tell about the powers
and mysteries of this
sphinx. Some people
even believe that
there are hidden
passageways or rooms
underneath the Great
Sphinx, but nothing
has been found yet.
This is part of the beard of the Great
Sphinx. The beard was added during the
New Kingdom- hundreds of years after the
Great Sphinx was first carved.



The beginning of one story about the Great Sphinx is written on a
stele between the sphinx's paws.
The story reads that one day, a young prince fell asleep next to the
Great Sphinx. He had been hunting all day, and was very tired. He
dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the
ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he cleared away the sand
covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up to its neck).
The rest of the story is gone, so you will have to use your
imagination to work out the ending. This stele was put up by the
pharaoh Thutmosis IV who lived around 1400 B.C.

 Read
and discuss the passage, “The
Pyramids.”
 Feel free to take notes as we read.

The great pyramids of Egypt are the oldest stone
buildings in the world. These ancient structures
were built as tombs for their kings. The kings,
who were called pharaohs, had pyramids built to
preserve their bodies for their life after death.
They were built to house not only the pharaoh’s
body but all his treasures and the goods he
would need in his next life. These ancient tombs
were gigantic; the largest is as big as a 40-story
building and covers the area of ten football
fields. Thousands of men were needed to build
these huge structures. It took up to 20 years to
build just one pyramid.
 Construct
a folded paper pyramid using the
pattern.

Cut on dotted lines.
Fold on thick, bold lines.
Tape together into a pyramid.
Hole punch the top of your pyramid.
String fishing line through it and tie at the end.
We will hang these around the room!!!
In Egypt, when a pharaoh died,
They didn’t sue formaldehyde.*
Instead, they used a secret way
To keep his body from decay.
They checked him out from head to toes
And pulled his brain out through his nose.
Then dipped him in their special sauce,
And wrapped him up in strips of gauze,
And placed him in a pyramid
With lots of food, then closed the lid.
Said if you opened up his tomb,
You’d face a scary, endless doom.
Today, in movies, mummies scare
All those who are not yet aware,
Who fear an ancient mummy’s curse
Could turn you green- and maybe worse.
But mummies really aren’t that bad.
It’s just they’re bored and maybe sad.
For many years, they lay just so,
All wrapped up- no place to go.



Want to make sure a body
gets reunited with its spirit
in the afterlife?
First wash the dead body in
wine and Nile water. Make a
cut in the side and take out
the organs. To get to the
brain, shove a hook up the
nose and jiggle it about.
Then pull out this useless
organ* and chuck it away.
2. Clean the liver, lungs,
intestines and stomach, then
pop them in four special
canopic jars whose lids look
like the gods that guard
them. The heart will need to
be put back in the body,
though, as it's the center of
intelligence*.
 3.
Use a special
Egyptian salt called
natron to fill up the
cavities and cover up
the body. This will
get rid of all the
moisture. Leave it for
about 40 days to dry
out completely.
 4.
Next, scoop out
the natron and
stuff the body
with spices, rags
and plants so it
doesn't lose its
shape.

5. Wrap up the body in
fine linen bandages.
Don’t forget to tuck in
some lucky amulets,
and then utter spells to
activate their magical
protective powers.
When the wrapping is all
done, put the mummy in
a coffin. Then put that
coffin in a coffin, and
that coffin in another
one, and so on. Then
place the whole lot in a
tomb.
What you need:
 1 apple
 1 popsicle stick
 1 black sharpie
 1 cup of baking soda
 1 cup of salt
 Gallon size Ziploc bag
 SAFETY!!!
Do NOT eat the apple or the
mummification ingredients!!!
 Carve
a face into your apple with a popsicle
stick.
 Then attach the popsicle stick to the apple
so it becomes a handle (like a candy apple).
 Write
your name on your Ziploc bag (with the
Sharpie).
 Mix the salt and baking soda in your plastic
bag.
 Be sure it is COMPLETELY sealed before you
mix!!!
 Place
the apple in the solution, making sure
it is fully covered. Leave the apple in the
bag.
 Leave
the bag upright and open so that
moisture can escape
 Place the bag carefully inside your shoebox.
 Write your name on the side of your box
(using the black sharpie).
 We
will check on our apples the next two
weeks!

 Ancient
Egyptian Art always uses a style
called frontalism. This means that the head
of the person is always drawn in profile with
one eye drawn in full from a front view. The
shoulders and chest are both seen from the
front. The legs are turned to the side, in the
same direction as the head, with one foot
placed in front of the other. The head is
facing straight ahead. The face is calm. The
person stands or sits with a stiff posture.

It is a very old form of writing that they started using as early as
3000 B.C. Hieroglyphics was a very complicated way of writing
involving thousands of symbols. Some of the symbols represented
sounds, like our letters, and other's represented entire words.
Hieroglyphics was different from how we write in many ways. It
could be written in almost any direction; left to right, right to
left, or top to bottom.
The reader would figure out which way to read it by the
direction of the symbols. They didn't use any punctuation. One of
the goals in writing hieroglyphics was that the writing would look
like art and be beautiful to look at.
A single picture symbol could stand for a whole word, called an
ideogram, or a sound, called a phonogram. For example, a
picture of an eye could mean the word "eye" or the letter "I".
What is your name in Egyptian? Draw it. ;)
A cartouche is a name plate.
It's usually oval with your
name written in the middle of
it. A cartouche is attached to
your coffin.
 The ancient Egyptians wanted
to make sure that their two
souls could find their way back
to their tomb at night, after
they died. No one wanted
their souls to get lost.
 A cartouche made it very easy
for a the souls to find their
way home.
