Ancient Egypt: The Three-Kingdom Drama Series
Old Kingdom (2700-2200 BCE): “Pyramid Builders Gone Wild.” Pharaohs were like gods, and everyone was busy stacking giant blocks in the desert.
Middle Kingdom (2040-1700 BCE): “We’re Back (and More Organized).” A time of fixing things, expanding trade, and less pyramid stress.
New Kingdom (1550-1070 BCE): “Pharaohs with Flair.” Egypt goes full glam — King Tut, Ramses the Great, and queens like Hatshepsut ran the show.
Basically: one long empire with three dramatic reboots.
First, work with your table and use The 3 Kingdoms of Egypt Chart to race to see which group can place the terms into the correct kingdom on The 3 Kingdoms Key Words handout.
