Egypt is a great country! It has way too many interesting details that you should totally know about. Did you know that…?

Cats were considered to be a sacred animal by the Ancient Egyptians. It’s thought that most families kept a cat as a pet, which they believed would bring the household good luck!

The Ancient Egyptians invented lots of things we still use today, such as paper, pens, locks and keys and – believe it or not – toothpaste!

In Ancient Egypt both men and women wore eye makeup, as makeup was thought to give magical powers to anyone who wore it. The most common colors of eye makeup were green and black.

The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid. This incredible structure weighs as much as 16 of New York’s Empire State building!

Pyramids were built for Pharaohs and their families after they had passed away and they would bury them with their treasures to help them in the afterlife.
