#14 - Ancient Egypt
March/April 2007
Pack your bags. In this issue of KNOW, we're heading back 5000 years to explore the people and places of Ancient Egypt. You can read up on the daily life of Egyptian families and get some building tips from the people who built the great pyramid of King Khufu. (Tip #1: You'll need more than two million blocks of stone and about 20,000 workers.) This issue also includes a mummy-maker's checklist and a lesson on reading Egyptian writing. In other sections in KNOW, you'll learn why you have fingernails and how a piano works. There are jumping spiders, dinosaur detectives, and, of course, readers' crazy comic captions and snazzy art.
