The Gods of Ancient Egypt
Have you ever wondered what life was like in Ancient Egypt? It was a time of mighty pharaohs, grand pyramids, and fascinating gods. The people of Egypt believed in many gods, each with their own special powers and stories. These gods were very important to them, and they worshipped them every day. On these pages we will explore who these gods were and why they mattered so much, and provide a range of printable resources you can use at home or in the classroom to enrich your children's learning.
