0:01:11 > 0:01:15- Don't creep up on me. - I don't want to dance.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- What's this? - This was a house of cards.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Aren't they meant to stand on top of each other?
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Yes they are(!)- Good luck with that. I can't stand around chatting.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24# Let's play. #
0:03:24 > 0:03:26This is really exciting.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Let's find out what we're playing today.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37I've got a cowboy's hat, a footballer's kit
0:03:37 > 0:03:39and diver's flippers.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I am not going to ride a horse playing football in the sea.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Let's try something else.
0:03:48 > 0:03:54I've got on a long tunic, sandals and a special headdress.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59Can you guess what we are playing today? I know.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01We are playing ancient Egyptians which means
0:04:01 > 0:04:03we get to go back in time.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06What do we need to know?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10First of all, the ancient Egyptians lived a long time ago
0:04:10 > 0:04:13in a hot country called Egypt.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16When ancient Egyptians wrote words,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19they sometimes used pictures called hieroglyphs.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23They didn't have money like we do.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Instead they often paid for things using jewellery they were wearing.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31They built big pointy buildings out of stone.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34They were called the pyramids. Royal ancient Egyptians
0:04:34 > 0:04:36were buried inside them.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40They were often filled with lots of treasure and guarded.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42No-one was allowed up them alone.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47That is everything we need to know. Do we need anything else?
0:04:49 > 0:04:54Oh. A gold ring. It fits my finger.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I'll take it with me.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59We've got everything we need. Let's go.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Hey, Rebecca, you'll never guess...
0:05:05 > 0:05:11- Oh, how did you do that? - You have to have very steady hands.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Yes, I have, but your dancing kept knocking...- Watch the cards.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20- There you go.- Why are you wearing a dress?- It is not a dress.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It is a tunic. And look at my head.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25We are going to play ancient Egyptians.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- I was I was playing ancient Egyptians.- Wish me luck.- Good luck.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- While you are gone I will practice my dance.- Right.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33What do you think of this?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35MUSIC PLAYS
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Not bad. I will leave you to carry on practising.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- See you later.- See you later.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Come on let's play ancient Egyptians.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Ho-ho! Yes!
0:05:57 > 0:06:04Whoa! So this is ancient Egypt. It's hot here and sandy.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09I love the feeling of sand between my toes.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10HOOTER
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Hot, hot, hot! I need to put my sandal back on.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16HOOTER
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!
0:06:19 > 0:06:25Phew! That's better. Look, a lizard! A little lizard.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29I wonder where he is going. Come on, let's follow him.
0:06:32 > 0:06:38Look, a river! I bet it's nice and cool. Yes, lovely.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41And a huge house.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44This must be a palace. Someone very important must live here.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Come on, let's get out of this heat and into the shade.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54That is much better. Much cooler.
0:06:54 > 0:07:00- Ooh!- Sphinxy, Sphinxy where are you? - Who's that?
0:07:00 > 0:07:06Sphinxy, Sphinxy, Sphinxy, come to Mummy, little Sphinxy baby.
0:07:06 > 0:07:12- Hello, my name is Sid. - Come on then.- Come on then what?
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- Help me find Sphinxy. You do work for me, don't you?- I guess I must do.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Come on then.- Coming.- Here, Sphinxy. - Sphinxy. Here, Sphinxy.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Where are you?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25MIAOW
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Ssh. I heard her.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Heard who?- Sphinxy.- Something I have been meaning to ask you.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Who is Sphinxy?
0:07:33 > 0:07:34My cat.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Right, a cat! - MIAOW
0:07:37 > 0:07:42Yes, my cat. Sphinxy, there you are.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Where have you been? Now I have another job for you to do.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- Who are you exactly? Are you very important?- Important? I am the boss.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56The big cheese. Numero uno.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I am the Pharaoh.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- When I say I have a job for you to do, you do it.- Right.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06What would you like to me do, Your Majesty Pharaoh person?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10I have been very busy ruling all of Egypt.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15Sandals to arrange, sand to count, all that kind of stuff.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19I need you, dear servant, to do my shopping for me.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- You do shop, don't you? - Yes, I love shopping.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24She must be kind of important if she is the ruler
0:08:24 > 0:08:26of all of ancient Egypt.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29My people have been building a pyramid in my honour.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- It will be finished today. - A pyramid?- Yes.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- A big pointy building made out of stone.- Yes of course.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40You need to get the shopping by today as they are very hungry.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Great! I have always wanted to see a pyramid.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Tell you what. I will get my shopping list. I'll be back.
0:08:48 > 0:08:55- Woah! This is the heaviest shopping list in the world.- Don't worry.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57You'll get used to it.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01I want you to get everything on that shopping list before sunset.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06My pyramid builders are very hungry and if you don't I'll...
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I'll make you do all my washing-up.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- I don't want to do your washing-up. - No, you don't.
0:09:11 > 0:09:17- It hasn't been done for a whole year and it is very smelly.- Eugh!
0:09:17 > 0:09:18MIAOW
0:09:18 > 0:09:19There you are.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Come on, Sphinxy, I have got some lovely fish for your tea.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Come on, lovely.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Right, let's have a look at this shopping list. Oh dear.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33This list is written in funny words. Excuse me, bossy Pharaoh person,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I can't seem to read your shopping list.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Oh dear. If I can't read the shopping list
0:09:38 > 0:09:39I can't do the shopping.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43If I can't do the shopping I'm going to have to do all the washing-up.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Oh no!
0:09:44 > 0:09:50Hold on. I know. I remember - do you? Yes. That's right.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Egyptians, when they were writing words, sometimes used pictures
0:09:54 > 0:09:56called hieroglyphs.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59So these aren't funny words, these are pictures.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Let's have a look. There is a picture of a loaf of bread.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08That is a picture of some fish. These are some grapes. Great.
0:10:08 > 0:10:14These are all the things we need for the builders' lunch. Let's go shop.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Right, which way are the shops? That way.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23# Let's play. #
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Hello! Excuse me, could you tell me where I could do my shopping please?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Shopping? Shopping?
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Why, yes, I can certainly help you with your shopping. Walk this way.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40OK. Right, I need some bread, fish and grapes please.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Bread, fresh, and grapes?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I can do better than that, my friend.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50How about a lovely rug
0:10:50 > 0:10:54or a nice camel or even some tasty spices?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- The pyramid builders don't want to eat that.- Of course not.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Not to worry. I have the very thing. Walk this way.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06MUSIC
0:11:11 > 0:11:18- Ha-ha! That was brilliant!- Right. - So, bread, fish and grapes?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Better than that. Much better.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30How about a very fine musical instrument?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33SHE PLAYS A TUNE
0:11:33 > 0:11:37No, I would just like some bread, fish and grapes.
0:11:37 > 0:11:44You are clearly a man who knows what he wants. I have the very thing.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45At last.
0:11:52 > 0:11:58- Behold...sandals.- What? - The finest in whole of Egypt.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03I don't want camels, I don't want rugs, and I don't want spices.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07I do not want musical instruments. I definitely do not want sandals.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10What I want are bread, fish and grapes.
0:12:10 > 0:12:17bread, fish, and grapes. Why didn't you say so?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Here we go.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- Bread, fish and grapes. - Thank you very much.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29That comes to...
0:12:29 > 0:12:31RING!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34That's rather a lot.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Oh! Money. Yes. I don't suppose you could give me this food?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42THEY LAUGH
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- You are a funny man, you really are. - I haven't got any money.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Well, you haven't got any bread, fish or grapes.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Oh no! I really haven't got any money.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55If I don't get that shopping
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I am going to have to do all the washing-up - a whole year's worth.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Oh no!
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Yes! I know. I remember - do you?
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Ancient Egyptians often paid for things with jewellery.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I will pay with jewellery. Only I haven't got any.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Ah! The ring!
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I will use this.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Excuse me. One gold ring.
0:13:18 > 0:13:25A gold ring. That'll do nicely.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Bread, fish and grapes.- Fantastic.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Can you tell me where the pyramids are?- Pyramids?
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- Yes, tall pointy things made out of stone.- I know what they are.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- They are over there in that direction.- Thanks.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Come back. You forgot your change.
0:13:49 > 0:13:55Oops. Excuse me. I am really hungry. Nearly finished.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Building a pyramid is very hard work.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03But we love our Pharaoh and we want to build a pyramid in her honour.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06And because if we don't she will make us do her washing-up
0:14:06 > 0:14:10and there is a lot of it. And it's very smelly.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15I could do with some bread. Or maybe some fish.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Or even the odd grape.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Right, this must be it. Wow! It is really tall.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27I think I can see a builder up there. He must be hungry.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- Stop!- Who said that? I'm sorry? - Stop right where you are.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Actually don't stop where you are. Take your foot off.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36It's private property.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I have got to deliver this food to the builders.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- All right. OK, that's fine. - Great, thanks.- Stop.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Get off the pyramid.- But I thought you just said it was OK?
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- I did.- Right so I will just nip up the pyramid and deliver the food.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- Stop.- You just...
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Stop. - But I've got to deliver the food.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00I know but I'm afraid I can't let you up the pyramid.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Hold on - is that a flying camel? - Flying camel?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Stop, stop, stop!
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I am not falling for that flying camel trick.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10How am I going to get this food up there?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I really am hungry.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Stop.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- Why do you keep stopping me? - I'm a guard. That is what we do.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25This pyramid is full of treasure.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I can't have people wandering all over it willy nilly.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32When someone tries to climb it, I shout "stop".
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Stop. Stop.- Oh no. This one is tricky.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40The builders up there must be hungry and he won't let me up there.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Hold on. I remember - do you?
0:15:45 > 0:15:50The pyramids were guarded and no-one was allowed to climb them alone.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52So I can't climb the pyramid alone,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55but I can climb it with someone else.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Excuse me, now I know I'm not allowed to climb the pyramid alone,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01so can you come with me please?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I've got to deliver this food to the builders.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08With me? You want to climb the pyramid with me? All right, why not?
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Thanks.- I'll carry your food for you.- Thank you.- After you.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Thank you.- Righty-ho.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22OK. Hello, I am Sid.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25The Pharaoh sent me to give you your lunch. You must be hungry.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26RUMBLING
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- Excuse me. I am.- I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get to you.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Here it is - all the lovely food from the Pharaoh.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37She is quite nice but she is a bit, you know...
0:16:37 > 0:16:39A bit what?
0:16:39 > 0:16:44- A bit busy.- Yes I have been quite busy. And I hope you have been too.

0:16:56 > 0:17:01- I couldn't have done it without my people - and you of course.- Thanks.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03How did you get up here?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I thought you weren't allowed to climb the pyramid alone?
0:17:06 > 0:17:10I am the Pharaoh. This is my pyramid. I do what I want on it.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31without remembering everything we needed to know.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33When ancient Egyptians wrote words
0:17:33 > 0:17:36they sometimes used pictures called hieroglyphs.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38They didn't have money like we do
0:17:38 > 0:17:43so they often paid for things using their jewellery.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47The pyramids were guarded. And no one was allowed to climb them alone.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48After you.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Wow! Shopping in ancient Egypt! - Yes, I know.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15What have you been doing while I have been climbing pyramids?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I have been trying to come up with a dance routine.
