How do we know how people in the past lived? How do we know what they wore, what they ate, if they worshipped gods and if they could read or write? We know through studying the objects they used. Through examining primary evidence, such as hieroglyphs, pottery, jewellery, buildings and artefacts, the reader will be introduced to each historical age. Find out why Egyptian men and women wore wigs, how they preserved dead bodies and about hieroglyphic writing. Do the multiple choice quiz at the end to find out what you have learnt.
