Ancient Egypt
Pharaohs

The main four pharaohs that ruled Egypt were:
- Tutankhamun ,
- Djoser,
- Khufu
- Hatsheput.
Pyramids and Sphinx
The pyramids and the sphinx were really famous in ancient Egyptian times.
The pyramids were used for burying grand powerful pharaohs. Did you know even with 100,000 men it took 20 years to build one pyramid?! The great sphinx was built for guarding the tombs and temples. Some Archaeologists and Egyptologists believed that the sphinx is 4500 years old but recent studies suggest that the sphinx was actually built in 7000 B.C. Nobody is sure how old it is.
