In Egypt they had a lot of different Gods and Pharaohs. The Pharaohs built temples to worship their Gods and encouraged the people to pray there.
One of these temples was the temple of Horus who was the God of good. He is shown as an eagle and had a fight against another God who was evil. He won!!!
Max felt very brave and had a photo with the large statue of Horus!
Max liked Horus because he reminded him of a Falcon which is a bird. He remembered the nest with the eggs that he had seen at home and decided to have a ‘chat’ to Horus to tell him about the good children back home in Australia.
Jenny & Brian are the people who looked after Max on his trip. They made sure he kept warm and used his hat if it got sunny. They are standing outside the Temple at Luxor.
At another temple, the temple of Karnak, Max was taught how to read a cartouche. This has the shape of an oval which has the Pharaoh’s name written in hieroglyphics inside. The closed shape meant that the Pharaoh would live forever. Can you work out what name the cartouche has inside?
Next Max went to the Valley of the Kings. In this valley there a large number of Pharaohs buried in large tombs built into the sides of the mountains.
