ReplyDeleteI want to learn about The Great Pyramids of Giza. I chose this because it is very interesting. It took a lot of people to build and it is one of the oldest structures in history. I also want to learn about mummies because they are cool and they are raped in paper.
ReplyDeleteI would like learn more about mummies. I think that mummies are really interesting. I often wonder where they live and who invented the term mummies? I wonder if mummies are alive if so, I would like to read more about them. Also go to a mummies museum. The climate of Egypt is always hot though sometimes it is windy. I wonder if this affects the mummies. I know that Egypt is in African so it will be fun to learn more about that.
ReplyDeleteI want to learn about mummies because who invented mummies,why are there mummies, are there still mummies around.This is why I want to learn about mummies. I have a lot of questions.

ReplyDeleteWhat I would like to learn about is if they have certain traditions and do they have certain clothes. What do they eat and there are lots of animals in Africa. I think Africa is like when people have a vase for water and carry it on their head and other people from different countries come and trade food for different things like animal fur.

I know nothing about but I would like to learn about ancient Egypt and how they live now and some traditions they do and instruments they play.
ReplyDeleteI want to learn more about the animals because I love animals that live in hot places. I know that Africa is a continent and many years ago Africans were captured to be sold into slavery in America.
ReplyDeleteMy life would be weird because I would learn another hard language and school would be harder. If I traveled to another state, the people would be speaking another language. Also, my brother would be speaking another language because he lives in Philadelphia and I would not understand him. It would make me feel weird and sad.
