We began our study of history at 10,000 B.C. Since then, we have learned about the paleo-Indians in North America who hunted woolly mammoths, hunter-gatherers in Mesopotamia who established the first villages of record, and the beginnings of ancient city-states.
Now begins our study of ancient Egypt. Because we have so many artifacts, writings, and monuments from this civilization, it was difficult to choose which projects to do to supplement our learning. So, we started small...
The evolution of monument building -- tiny clay replicas of a mastaba, steppe pyramid, and pyramid.
A translation of Maggie's hieroglyphs on "papyrus" (really, just homemade paper) --
