Ancient
Egyptians and Their Neighbors: An Activity Guide
by Marian
Broida. The publisher says: "Want
to speak Hittite? Hold out a glass and ask for 'wa-tar.' This unique
activity book for children ages nine and up shows what life was like among the
Nubians, Mesopotamians, Hittites, and their neighbors the Egyptians from around
3100 B.C., when Upper and Lower Egypt became one kingdom, to the death of Queen
Cleopatra under the Romans, in 30 B. C. Projects such as building a Nubian
irrigation machine, creating a Mesopotamian cylinder seal out of clay, making
kilts like those worn by Egyptian boys and men, and writing in Hittite cuneiform
help young readers to connect with these ancient cultures and see how profoundly
they have influenced our own. Grade 4 and up." With
208 pages.
