Overview In this experience, students delve into history of ancient Egypt’s Old Kingdom, when the growing nation became a truly great civilization.

Finally, students analyze the entire social structure of the kingdom. The additional resource The Old Kingdom in the Student Pack is especially useful for facts about dynasties, important individual rulers, and chronological sequence of achievements. Students will work together in small groups in scene 3. Objectives
