I cannot recall being taught Egyption History at school either......

[King Gizzard]

Yeah Egypt is when you're like 10, there's not enough sources to do it at a higher level then that in a small time frame

I did.. but not in History. I learnt all about Cleopatra in Classical Studies and Latin

The ancient Egyptians lived in huts and mudbrick houses. The richer ones had grand brick buildings to live in.

The earliest I remember anything on a learning scale was when I was about 6 or 7, there was a programme about Tutankhamum on tv, watched it with my Dad and was in awe........ interest from there I guess and I read about it in the old fashioned thing called library!

[Niamh.]

Yeah we did Egypt in primary school. We only did Irish and European history in secondary

My Classical Studies & Latin was more about Europe - Knossos, Crete, Rome, different types of architecture through the ages, the colums, rulers etc - memory block on Egypt - though I can't see it not having been covered. (I loved classical studies. hated Latin mind you)

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Yeah, for my standard grade Latin, I did my investigation on Cleopatra so ended up reading loads about her and Egypt

Ah... see I was only here (UK) for about a year during classical studies and I swayed towards the Greek side mostly because a month long summer vacation was geared around the very places I was studying (which was immense when you're a youngster, visiting the places you were reading about).

Them were the days !

We did ancient egyptians and the like in Primary School but in Secondary School History was mostly devoted to the Romans, The Monarchy and the times they lived in as well as WW2.

I dropped it when I was given my options though, I didn't care for learning about WW2 as I was only interested in the more ancient and mythological side of things really.

Welcome back Pyramid* - blimey all these educated people makes me wish I'd done more at school now

I think it's either or as you've said: kids either love the whole British history side - or the more ancient mythological side to other cultures - I just thought the whole ancient (non UK) history was fascinating as a whole - the people, cultures, lifestyle, architecture * how things evolved etc.

I also love that even to this day - thousands and thousands of years on & despite all the technology and advancement - that they still cannot agree on how the Pyramids were built, why they were aligned as they were, and the mystery surrounding the Sphinx - it's all still fascinating.

[Tom4784]

Yeah, It's a lot more interesting I find. I loved learning the Ancient Greeks, their mythology was amazing.

Have you had a chance to visit any of the places Dezzy - not the Greek hedonistic party scene, I mean the historical area/archelogical sites etc? If you have you'll understand. If you haven't and do have an interest - it's unbelievable, though bit diff from 30 odd years ago from a touristy pov.

If you fancy a different type of holiday - I recommend.

I had to be force fed the British stuff and didn't retain a lot - in comparison to the side I really enjoy.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]
