Celebrate King Tut Day with 10 Fun Ancient Egypt Crafts for kids - Mummies, pyramids, Pharoah's headgear, jewelry, Hieroglyphics, and more!
On November 4th, people all around the world remember when a team of archeologists led by Howard Carter found the entrance to King Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt in 1922. Ever since that day, November 4th has been known as King Tut Day, where a tomb filled with thousands of years of mystery was finally opened.

But before that,

When did ancient Egypt begin and end?

The dynastic period started with the reign of Egypt's first king, Narmer, in approximately 3100 BCE, and ended with the death of Cleopatra VII in 30 BCE. During this long period, there were times of strong centralized rule, and periods of much weaker, divided rule, but basically, Egypt remained one, independent land.

Who is King Tut in ancient Egypt?

King Tutankhamun (or Tutankhamen) ruled Egypt as pharaoh for 10 years until his death at age 19, around 1324 B.C.

Why is King Tut so famous?

The reason that Tutankhamun is so well known today is that his tomb, containing fabulous treasures, was found early this century (1922) by British archaeologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon. His tomb lay undisturbed for almost 3 thousand years. One of the most special parts of King Tut's tomb was just how untouched it was - even footprints made by the tomb's builders were still there! So when archaeologists got inside, they found every item King Tut had been buried with (5,398 items, to be exact) still there with the Boy King.

The most important and impressive find was King Tut himself, in his solid gold coffin that sat within two other outer coffins, but there was also lots of jewelry, a chariot, bow and arrow, food, and even underwear!

There is something especially alluring about the study of Ancient Egypt. The grandness of the Pyramids. The Mysteriousness of such a wise and interesting civilization. Mummies. Tomb hunting. Pharaohs. If you are looking to study Ancient Egypt, here is a collection of resources to reference. This is a part of our World Culture Craft Series

Pharaohs were the kings of ancient Egypt. A couple were women, but most pharaohs were men. In ancient Egypt, whether the pharaoh was a man or a woman, all pharaohs were kings. Pharaohs were the leaders of government and religion. There were about 170 different pharaohs over time, but there was only one pharaoh at a time. In ancient Egypt, the people referred to a pharaoh not "the" pharaoh, but simply as Pharaoh.

Pharaoh Ruled Everything: As you research ancient Egypt on the web, you will see pharaohs referred to as living gods, or like-gods, or as the go between mortal man and gods, and other god related positions. During the Old Kingdom, pharaohs believed themselves to be living gods. But they were mortal. During the Middle Kingdom, pharaohs no longer thought of themselves as living gods, but rather as the representatives of the gods on earth. Pharaoh was the king of Egypt and the High Priest of all temples. His (or her) power was absolute and overwhelming. He was not worshipped. He was obeyed.

Pharaoh Owned Everything: The ancient Egyptians believed that all the wealth of Egypt and all the wealth in the world belonged to Pharaoh. Every house, brick, stone, animal, amulet, jewelry, statue, man, woman, child, clothing, temples, store houses, tombs, eggs found along the Nile, everything, absolutely everything belonged to Pharaoh. In exchange for all Pharaoh owned and controlled, Pharaoh was responsible for Ma'at - for the health and happiness of ancient Egypt. If Pharaoh did not do his or her job, the Nile would not rise and leave rich soil behind for planting as the waters receded. If the people did not obey Pharaoh, the Nile would not rise.

Pharaoh, like everyone in ancient Egypt, had a job to do. His (or her) job was to take care of the people. Every decision made had to be in the best interest of the people. For example, if Pharaoh announced that all bread was free for everyone, that might sound very nice, but it would put people out of work. Bakers would not be able to trade for what they needed. That would not be in the best interest of all the people. So Pharaoh rarely made a snap decision. Everything was thought through, and Pharaoh received advice from his many advisors and government officials, whose job was to help Pharaoh run the country.

Viziers: In the early centuries of ancient Egypt, the people could talk directly to Pharaoh. As time went by, and the population grew and expanded, the Egyptian kings began to rely on the Vizier to talk for them to the people. The Vizier was the highest rank in government, next only to Pharaoh. From the lowest to the highest, each adviser had to submit an oral or written (by a scribe) report each day to the official above him. These officials reported to those above them, and so on, until all reports reached the Vizier. Each day, the Vizier reported to Pharaoh everything the Vizier had done, including all the decisions he had made, in case Pharaoh wished to change anything, along with a recap of reports the Vizer had received that day from lesser officials all over Egypt. It was an amazing system of government. It worked for over 3,000 years!

Do you enjoy riddles? We have one for you! What has the body of a lion, the face of a human, and a set of wings? Here's a hint: we're talking about a creature. That's right! Today's Wonder of the Day is all about the sphinx.

What do you picture when you hear the word "sphinx"? Many think of an enormous statue located in northern Egypt. At 66 feet tall and 240 feet long, this structure may date back to 2500 B.C.E. That's when many experts think the Pharaoh Khafre ordered it built from limestone.

Today, we know this great statue as the Great Sphinx of Giza. It's believed to be a portrait of Pharaoh Khafre. The structure is also a monolithic statue, which means it was made from a single large block of stone. Experts think thousands of Egyptians worked to carve the Great Sphinx.

The Great Sphinx of Giza is also in mystery. It isn't mentioned in any of the hieroglyphs found in the tombs at Giza. For that reason, no one knows what the ancient Egyptians called the statue. We know they didn't call it a "sphinx," because that term wasn't for another 2,000 years.

The sphinx may have started in Egypt, but it spread throughout the ancient world. It became a in the stories and art of China, Assyria, and Persia. It also became common in ancient Greece.

The sphinx appears in some very well-known Greek myths. One of these is the story of Oedipus, the king of Thebes. Today, the most widespread version of his story is Oedipus Rex, a tragedy written by Sophocles.

In the story of Oedipus, the sphinx the city of Thebes. She asked every person who wanted to pass through the gate the same riddle: What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night? When people answered incorrectly, she ate them. No one knew the correct answer to her riddle.

When Oedipus came to Thebes, he met the sphinx. He responded to her riddle with the correct answer ( a human being). Thankful to Oedipus for defeating the sphinx, the people of Thebes made him their king.

The sphinx appeared in many other stories and pieces of art from ancient Greece. It is just one creature that spread across centuries and civilizations . What other examples can you think of? The dragon? The griffin? What about the mermaid? There's no end to the fantastic creatures you can learn more about.
