History of Egypt.
History of Egypt
Thirty of these amazing buildings can be seen in different places of Egypt.
Five thousands
years ago the lands along river Nile
was ruled by powerful kings,
called Pharaohs. These ancient Egyptians believed in a life after death.
So when pharaoh died he was buried, and many treasures were buried with
him to take to the next world. To honour him, great pyramids were built. His body
and the treasures were put in the very middle of the pyramids. In these tombs, pictures
of everyday life were painted on the walls. These are called hieroglyphics. The biggest
pyramid is called the Great pyramid. It is 144 metres high, and its base has sides
230 metres along. Two millions blocks needed. Each blocks weighed 2000 kg. They
were cut out of the ground with wooden, copper or stone tools. They were pulled by
great gangs of men, and they were put into boats. They carried to the site of the
pyramid. They were then shaped so that they all fitted exactly.

The Egyptians
had special way of wrapping dead bodies, with special chemicals.
This made the
bodies last for thousands of years. These bodies are called `mummies`.
The
mummy of Pharaoh was put in a wooden coffin, and then covered with a wonderful
gold mask. In November 1922 the entrance to a Pharaoh’s tomb was uncovered. No
one had been in it for over three thousand years. It was full of treasures. It
was the tomb of Tut- ankh- amen. The pharaoh died
while he was still only a boy. His
body was covered with a wonderful gold mask. So we even know what Tutankhamen
looked like.
For a long time modern people tried to read the
hieroglyphics. Then in 1799 a big flat
stone tablet was found at a place called
Rosetta. On it was written the same things
in Greek and in hieroglyphics. Greek
is easily read. So the two were compared, and
the meanings of lots of
hieroglyphics were found.
A short history of George Washington.
It was a cold winter
morning on February 22, 1732. This
was more than 200 years ago.Inside a Virginia
farmhouse where it was Warm and cozy, a special
baby boy was born. The baby’s name was George Washington. As little George grew
up, he loved the farm and all of the animals. He loved his
horse best of all. George had two brothers who lived away. He lived with a
younger sister and three younger brothers. They followed George’s every move. ‘‘Let’s
play follow the leader,’’ said
Betty. ‘‘George is the Leader,’’ said John. Samuel and charles agreed. George went to a
small country school. He worked very hard. He was one
of the smartest students. George was also the most honest boy in school. He
grew up very fast. He was bigger and taller than all of the other boys.
Everyone looked up to George. Sometimes
George would choose games for his classmates to play. ‘‘George is a
natural-born leader,’’ his schoolmaster would
say. In a school George liked to
read and to write. He liked
numbers. But he liked
to make maps and measure land best of all.
This is called surveying. George practiced
by measuring the
vegetables gardens on his farm. Many farmers wanted George to
survey their
land. It would help them to know how much seed to buy when it was
time to plant
their crops. George was only a boy
of sixteen. But the farmers trusted
him. They knew George was very smart and
honest. ‘‘He will do a perfect job,’’ one
farmer said to another. George’s big
brother, Lawrence, took him on a surveying
trip in the Virginia wilderness. They
stayed many cold and rainy days and nights.
There were many wild
animals. George learned how to take care Of himself in
the
woods. Living in the wilderness helped George to become an even
greater
leader. When he was only twenty years old he became a major in
the Virginia army.
In 1754 a war broke
out. French settlers and Native Americans in the Ohio valley
would not let the
English settlers have farms there. George Washington was called
to help the
English settlers. He was now Colonel Washington. He led the English
soldiers and they
won the war. Everyone looked up to Colonel Washington. One
day, met a lovely lady named Martha
Custis. She was a widow with two children.
They fell in love and
married in 1759. George and Martha Washington moved
into a beautiful mansion in
Mount Vernon, Virginia. They had many parties, laughter,
and fun in their home. But Colonel Washington was soon called to war again.
It
was 1775. America was a small country with only thirteen colonies
then.
During this time England ruled America. The rulers in
England were mistreating
America. They wanted America to pay unfair
taxes. A war broke out. The
Americans chose George Washington as
their leader. The war lasted eight years.
The Colonel was now
General George Washington. Through his leadership,
the American
colonies won the war. America was no longer ruled by England.
The
colonies became the United States of America. Americans were very
happy. But the new little country needed a leader. Everyone in the land wanted
one and only one for this job-General George Washington. So they made him the
first President of the United States of America on April 30, 1789. On the day of his
inauguration, President George Washington rode on a beautiful white horse on
his way to the ceremony. ‘‘Hooray’’ people cheered when President Washington
stood before them to give to give his speech. Some people cried with joy. President
Washington was a great president. He traveled all over America to see what
the country needed. He passed good laws to help
America. George
Washington
was president for eight years. Afterwards, he went back
to his home in Mount
Vernon. He enjoyed good times and
laughter again with Martha, his family and
friends.
Americans will never forget
the first president of
their land.
