Being such a long river, water from the Nile flows through many different landscapes on its journey to the sea.

Find a partner and make sure he or she can't see your screen. Click on one of the numbers to show you one of the amazing landscapes in the Nile river basin. Tell him/her what you can see, using geographical words and other adjectives to describe the scene. Ask your partner to draw a picture from your description. Compare the drawing and the photo on the computer - are they similar or completely different? Now swap places with your partner and have a go at drawing yourself!

My friend, Zeoni met a grisly end in the river. She was lunch for Neil and his friends.

Ancient Egyptians thought that many animals were sacred. When a Nile crocodile died they would mummify it, like they did with important people. Other animals were Gods and people made up their own stories and myths about them, like Khnum a ram-headed God. Click on Khnum to find out more about Egyptian myths, including Khnum.

The Ancient Egyptians loved a good story. Click on the storyteller to download and read one yourself!

Blimey! That's all a bit gruesome. It would have made me really scared if I had heard this in Ancient Egyptian times.

You keep asking people for help with your homework, Cecille. Now it's my turn! I have to make up a story about a person who gets sent to 'the hall of judgement'. My story has to tell the reader about the character's life, how he dies and what happens next - does he go into the afterlife or stay in 'the hall of judgement' forever? You can use the story planner again to help you plan out your ideas.

I just found this great site that got me to imagine that I was being turned into a mummy – take a look yourself!
