About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

It's your LUCKY day! You’ve stumbled across an ancient treasure chest in your school that was buried THOUSANDS of years ago by achild living in ancient Egypt. And the chest is packed with 20 strange and curious items that tell us so much about their life, such as:

• The OLDEST cheese in the world
• A special lunch box shaped like a DUCK
• Slippers worn by the YOUNGEST ever Pharaoh
• MAGICAL spells written on ancient tombs!

Unpack the treasure chest and discover the objects that a child just like YOU was using thousands of years ago. You’ll uncover fascinating facts and true tales about their school, family life, clothes, games, favourite snacks and so much more.
The true, real-life experiences of children in ancient times is a part of history that has been neglected for far too long – award-winning historian, broadcaster and bestselling author Bettany Hughes is here to dig up this newly discovered information for young budding historians everywhere
