Egypt

Egypt or land of the Pharaohs is one of the most well-known places in the world. We know most of the information on a primitive civilization called the Egyptian civilization but there is still a lot more to discover.

Now, when we think of Egypt, we think mostly of the Pyramids which are the greatest invention bestowed to the world by Egyptians. These structures have a distinctive shape. They have a square base and sloping sides the Egyptians buried their mummified Egyptian kings and queens (pharaohs). The youngest pharaoh is king Tutankhamen who became king in 1334 BC. When Tutankhamen died at the age of 17, he was buried with a face mask of pure gold over his face! His tomb was uncovered by Howard Carter. For transportation Egyptians used camels or papyrus reed boats. They also did well in agriculture. They used picture symbols called hieroglyphs.

Up to today archaeologists are uncovering more artefacts, thanks to them and modern-day technology we may finally be able to piece together the story of Egypt.

A Visit to the Zoo

Last year when I went to Australia, we visited the Melbourne Zoo, it was great although we had a 40-degree heatwave, but the zoo was fun. First, we visited the orangutans who made funny faces at us. Next, we went to see the tigers, but these ferocious beasts were in their cave to beat the heat! Then, we into the butterfly house and were flabbergasted to see butterflies roaming free in the house. My father had a camera and took some pictures which I still admire today, we took a walk through a forest trail and saw Koalas, Thrushes, black swans end parrots all in their natural habitat of trees.

It was early afternoon, so we decided to have lunch, the food court was right next to the giraffes, so we had a good view of them. After lunch we wandered over to the reptile section, The snakes! There were vipers, milk snakes, coral snakes, mambas and eyelash vipers. We also went to see the frogs, but they took no notice of us because most of them were napping or catching flies. After that it was time to go home, it felt sad but after all I did have a great day!
