About this listen
From sacred cats to the invention of toothpaste, Blue Peter Award winning author David Long takes listeners on an intriguing investigation into the ancient Egyptian civilisation.
The incredible civilisation of ancient Egypt lasted for 3,000 years. Ruled over by pharaohs, the Egyptians developed agricultural skills and trading partnerships that enabled them to build a rich and powerful nation centred on the Nile.
Far more advanced than any European country at the time, the Egyptians achieved incredible feats of building, created a new way of writing, and revolutionised farming.
Find out what life as an ancient Egyptian was actually like, both for pharaohs and ordinary people, in this fascinating new exploration by award-winning author David Long.
Particularly suitable for listeners aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
