Pupil's Book, Unit 7 page 83 1 Listen. What are they going to do in the afternoon? Diversicus is in Egypt. Today the Friendly family are on a ship on the River Nile. They're looking at one of their rooms. There's a telephone, so we might have wifi. Oooh, but come and look at the bathroom! There's a black toilet and there's some soap and shampoo on that shelf. Yes, and they've given us a white comb and a blue brush. Hmmm. There isn't an oven . . . so I don't have to cook. I'm on holiday! But it's good to have a fridge, isn't it? Is it? Why are you looking at the fridge? Look at this wonderful view outside! That's the gate to the old city. The gate?! But it's huge! Ivan's dog could get through there easily! Well, it's been there for thousands of years and we're going to walk round the old city this afternoon. Brilliant! Come on, Jenny. Let's go and explore the rest of the ship.

Pupil's Book, Unit 7 page 87 1 Guess which picture they don't talk about in the museum. Listen and check. This museum's great! We've studied Ancient Egypt, but I haven't seen these things before. What's that big thing over there? A very old oven. It was used for cooking food. Ovens like this are used to make bread and pizza today. Are they? That's interesting! Ooh, look at these old combs. People used these to comb their hair, didn't they? Well, small combs were used to comb their hair. Large combs were used for combing sheep's wool. Hmm. And what's this? Oh, a mirror? But it's made of metal, not glass. That's right. Before people invented glass, they used metal mirrors to look at their faces. And I know that face, Mum - it's Tutankhamun! . . . It says here that men and women used a black cream to paint round their eyes. Yes, that's right. It was used to stop the sun from hurting their eyes - like sunglasses today.

There are simple machines, with only one or no moving parts, like a screw , and complex machines, with many parts that work together, like a clock. ‘Time to get up! ' Clocks control modern life. Today, we nearly always know the time, but early humans didn't worry about it. They hunted and worked when it was light and they slept at night. However, as civilisations developed, humans wanted to know the time. The Egyptians built enormous towers and used shadows and the sun to tell the time. Later, people used a smaller version of this, called a sundial but this can't help on cloudy days or at night. For hundreds of years people marked and burnt candles or they used a water clock or an hourglass which used sand. The 14th century mechanical clock was a European invention. It rang a bell every hour. Clockmakers added the hour and minute hands. A clock with hands is called an analogue clock and a digital clock □only has numbers. Our clocks today are much more accurate than earlier versions and they're everywhere: on our computers, tablets, phones and even in the street. No-one should be late these days! Pupil's Book, Unit 7 page 89 4 Listen and read. Answer the questions. The Ancient Egyptians were one of the earliest human civilisations to develop and their inventions were amazing. 3, 000 years ago, their technology helped them build the pyramids and royal palaces. They had their own writing called hieroglyphics and they made paper from the papyrus plant. The pyramids in Egypt are some of the most impressive things that humans have built. When a pharaoh (their king) died, the people buried him inside a pyramid. There are about 140 pyramids. The largest is the Pyramid of Khufu or the Great Pyramid of Giza, which was about 150 metres tall. We can see that they used enormous blocks of rock, but there are some important questions. How did the Ancient Egyptians bring the rocks to the place where they were building the pyramid? How did they lift the rocks to the top? Experts think that they brought the rocks down the River Nile on rafts. They didn't have the machines that we have today, but they had simple machines like ramps and levers. The workers cut the rocks and moved them slowly up the pyramid on ramps which they built around the sides. They lifted the heavy rocks with levers and built the pyramids one rock at a time. Archaeologists think it took 23 years, and thousands of people, to complete the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Pupil's Book, Unit 7 page 90 THE BOY KING In 1922, an archaeologist found the tomb of an Ancient Egyptian king, a pharaoh, called Tutankhamun, who we sometimes call King Tut. Tutankhamun died when he was 19. An x-ray showed he had a broken leg, but we don't know much about his life. People have different ideas about what happened to him, but no-one knows for sure. Here's a story about what may have happened to him. Once upon a time in a city called Akhetaten in Ancient Egypt, there was a boy called Tut. Tut was a happy child, but when he was only nine years old his father died. The great men of the royal court told him that he was now the country's new king, which they called ‘pharaoh’. That was the end of Tut's happy days as a child. Tut didn't know how to be a king, but no-one let him decide what to do anyway. The real rulers of the land were a general named Horemheb and a man called Ay. They wanted to control Tut and they wanted him to do everything they said. Tut hated them both. A year later Horemheb and Ay told Tut to marry a beautiful young girl. Her name was Ank. Tut had everything that a pharaoh needed, but he was bored! When Tut was 18, Horemheb and Ay gave him a new pair of sandals. They were expensive, but there was nothing special about them. Or was there? There were faces on the bottom of the sandals. ‘That's unusual, ' Tut thought. He asked ‘Why are these faces here?’ ‘They are the faces of your enemies, ' Horemheb explained. ‘These sandals are used for standing on them. ' Tut was very interested and he put on the sandals. As soon as Tut was alone, he took them off again. Who were his real enemies? Horemheb and Ay, of course. They were horrible and they never let him do what he wanted. Tut carefully painted Horemheb's and Ay's faces onto the bottom of his new sandals. Then he put them on, he went outside and he jumped up and down in the hot sand! Later that day, Horemheb and Ay gave Tut a board game. Tut and Ank started to play. Horemheb and Ay stood behind them, watching the game. Suddenly a piece fell off the board. Tut jumped up to get it, but something made him fall over. Did he fall or was he pushed? No-one will ever know, but his leg was broken. It was a very bad break. Tut became sick and died. Ay married Ank and became the next pharaoh.
