📚KIDS BOOKS👧🏽 | FANTABULOUS FACTS

ONCE UPON A REALLY, VERY LONG TIME AGO …

Our ancestors were busy people 
All across our blue green earth
Building pyramids, temples and cities
From the Andes to Kuwait

The Egyptians used beer to buy things
The Mayans mastered astronomy
Roman vomitariums were not for vomiting
But theatre exits if you please

Neanderthals were built like wrestlers
They were strong and wild and free!
The Aztecs played deadly ball games
The loser died, the winner lived happily

The oldest letter of complaint
Is over 4000 years old
Nanni the Mesopotamian was upset
With the copper he had been sold

Did you know Cleopatra was not Egyptian
She was in fact quite Greek
The Chinese had invented toilet paper
While the Europeans still used leaves!

Human beings have always loved music
The oldest flute is from the ice age
The Stonehenge stones are so big
Each weighs as much as a blue whale

Egyptian gods had human bodies and animal heads
They were quite an awesome sight!
A Viking’s old poo was found in 1972
Ancient poop is called Coprolite

Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt
The fertile Indus River Valley
The ancient Chinese, the Inca, the Aztecs
These civilizations make up our history.
