Ideas for Egypt Projects [|Pyramids] If you're stuck on ideas for ** school [|projects] **, then look no further. Kidzworld has come up with a couple of ** cool ideas ** for Egypt projects that you can make for your history class - or just for fun!

Egypt Projects - The Pyramid Back in ancient times, the Egyptians built [|pyramids] out of huge blocks of stones. For this fun project, you won't have to worry about rocks, or even pebbles. In fact, you can even eat this pyramid while you make it! You'll need about 220 ** sugar cubes **, so raid your mom's [|kitchen] cupboard for a new package.


 * ** Glue one side ** of a sugar cube onto a big piece of [|cardboard] . Make a square of 10 cubes across and 10 cubes down.
 * Make a second layer of 9 cubes, but glue this row about two cm in from the first row.
 * Continue these steps, using eight cubes, then seven and so on until you reach the top.
 * Once you're done with the glue, you can [|paint] your pyramid!

If he judged you to have been a good person, then your soul would re-unite with your body and you would live in eternal paradise. But in order for your soul to** recognize ** your body, you had to look the way you had while you were alive, which is why corpses were <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0072ff; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">[|mummified]. Now that you know why bodies were mummifed, you can make your own mummy - but instead of wrapping your little brother in sheets, try using a <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0072ff; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">[|Barbie doll].


 * <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: inherit; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">Take the doll and wrap it in ** cloth strips ** until it's completely covered. You may want to start at the feet and work your way up to the head.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: inherit; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">Insert ** amulets ** (special charms) between linen wrappings. You can use anything from <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0072ff; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">[|jewelry] to coins.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: inherit; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">For bonus points, make a ** sarcophagus ** (coffin) out of a cardboard box and <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0072ff; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">[|decorate] it with <span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">[|hieroglyphics].

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 22px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">Egypt Projects - The Hieroglyphic Alphabet <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">Another fun project idea can be done by using <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0072ff; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">[|hieroglyphics], the ancient Egyptian alphabet. You can spell your name or initial your mummy, but better yet, try going one step further. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">[|Translate] a ** short phrase ** into pictures, and paint it onto a big poster board. This is a great opportunity for you to learn about the ** symbolism ** used in Egyptian <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0072ff; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">[|art] and the alphabet.
