Year 3 HistoryAncient Egypt3 pages

About this worksheet

A Year 3 history fact file on Tutankhamun, over three pages including the answer key. A picture of his golden mask sits beside a box where pupils draw an artefact from the tomb or his royal cartouche. Pupils then research and fill seven key facts, from his famous nickname to who discovered his tomb. A Did You Know box asks for one surprising fact. The last section asks why the tomb taught historians so much. The key names Howard Carter, November 1922 and the Valley of the Kings. It supports the England National Curriculum depth study of Ancient Egypt.
