Pyramid Challenge
The BBC has a fun and educational game for children to learn about the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids and how they were built. It’s really quite authentic. The picture below, for example, shows the stage where you select the angle for your pyramid and the accompanying hieroglyphic writing is from plate 16 of the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus.
“Journey back four and a half thousand years to Egypt’s Old Kingdom, to the Pyramid Age.
As the vizier, or head of state, you are about to undertake the most important project of your career – the building of the king’s pyramid.
To succeed in this task, you must be a good all-rounder. Not only should you be able to motivate your workforce, but you must have good observational skills and the ability to steer a barge up the Nile, avoiding hippos and crocodiles.
Have you got what it takes to be a pyramid builder?”
