FUN FACT

With a history that began in around 3,100 BCE, there are tons of fun facts about Egypt. Like that ancient Egyptians were one of the first civilizations to read and write (700 hieroglyphs were included in the Egyptian alphabet!), they loved having pets (especially cats, which can be found mummified with their owners) and playing board games (especially one called Senet) and believed in about 2,000 deities (which you’ll learn about when visiting ancient monuments).
