The Ancient Egyptians

How do you decipher an ancient Egyptian object? What can they tell us about what life was like for ancient Egyptian people?

Look closely at coffins and items from peoples' tombs, as we examine people in ancient Egypt: from everyday lives to kings and queens. We'll think carefully about why we study ancient Egypt and what we could do better.
