A VISIT TO THE MUSEUM - CONNECT PRIMARY 6 Term 2 - سادس ابتدائي

UNIT 7 LESSON 1 A VISIT TO THE MUSEUM 4 1 Listen and read. Why are Tamer and Tamara at the museum? Mr Tarek: Good morning and welcome to the Museum of Ancient History. My name is Mr Tarek and I am your guide today. Tamer: Good morning, Mr Tarek. I'm Tamer and this is my sister Tamara. We're students at Egyptian Eagle Primary School, and these are our parents. Tamara: We're excited to learn more about Ancient Egyptian artifacts. Mr Tarek: Great! What would you like to know? Tamara: Well, first of all, why do we have so many artifacts? Mr Tarek: That's an interesting question. One reason is the climate. We have a hot, dry climate here in Egypt, so artifacts aren't damaged by cold and wet weather. This helps to preserve them. The Ancient Egyptians also knew that certain materials could last a long time. That's why they built the Pyramids with granite, a very hard and durable stone. Tamer: That's fascinating! What other materials did they use? Mr Tarek: They used a lot of glass, which lasts forever. They also used clay, which is found close to the River Nile, to make pots. Tamer: I also heard they used a lot of gold in Tutankhamun's tomb. Mr Tarek: Yes, the Ancient Egyptians liked to use gold because it is valuable, but it is also very durable. When they covered artifacts in gold, they kept them in good condition. Tamer: I'm happy about that! It's exciting to enjoy the things they made. 1 2 Listen and read again.
