(The scene opens with a few children dressed as archaeologists digging. There is a table on the side with some archaeologists looking at artefacts and some examining books with a magnifying glass.)
Digger 1
Hello! It is 1847 and I am here under the blistering sun of Egypt. I am digging!
(All diggers dig in unison and with each push of the spade, they let out a huge breath)
All
Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh!

It is very hot and we haven't found anything for months!
All
Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh!

We are finding out clues to an ancient civilisation!

Caveman
Yabadaba Doo! Can I help?
All
NOT as ancient as you! Buzz Off!
(Enter Howard Carter and passes and looks strangely at the caveman as he exits)
Howard Carter
I am Howard Carter. I am a brilliant archaeologist and I reckon a king from Ancient Egypt is buried here. I want to find his body! Keep digging!
All
the arch Oh we have been digging for days. There's nothing here! Let's just forget
about it!
Narrator 1
We are right in the middle of the Valley of the Kings and are about
to discover more truths about Ancient Egypt.
Archaeo 2
I found something! Oh it's just a tiny bead from a necklace!
Howard C
Beads from a necklace tell us what people wore! (Puts it in a clear bag)
Archaeo. 2
I found something! Oh it’s just a tiny piece of pottery! It’s got writing on it!
Howard C
Wait! Writing can tell you a lot! I know how to read hieroglyphs! Wait let me read it! (Comes closer to read) “Errr. Y ou … are . W asting … yo..ur time!”
Archaeologists
AaaarAaaargh! (Fall to the ground)
(Freeze scene)
Narrator
It's time to enter the world of Ancient Egypt > Back to pyramids, the pharaohs and their crypt
Narrator
It's hot and dusty, the sun is high
In the busy market place, the stall holders cry
Narrator
Ladies and gentlemen, we are on the banks of the River Nile
And the time is just half past nine!
(Exit archaeologists and enter stall holders. From form a semi-circle with baskets)
Stall holder
Dates! Dates! Get your dates here!
Stall holder
Figs, Figs! Come and get your figs here!
Narrators
Oh! Watch out! It’s the pyramid builders!
All

(Pushing cardboard boxes)
Builder 1
Move out of the way! Make way please! We are carrying huge rocks!
All
Not another pyramid!
Builder 2
This is really heavy! I can't push anymore!

I have got sand in my eye!

Towns crier
All hail to the King of Egypt! All hail to the Pharoah!
(Pharoah walks on centre stage)
Pharoah
Who is that still talking! (Claps) Guards take them away! (Clears his throat) I
am Pharoah and I am very, very powerful! So powerful you should think I am
God… Is my pyramid built?
Builders
We are trying our best! It does need 2 million blocks of stone!
Pharoah
It has to last for thousands of years so that people remember me by it!
All
We know!
Pharoah
A tall pyramid reaching to the heavens this time! (A vain look on face)
All
Uhhhh (big moan)
Pharoah
I don’t care how hot it is, if you can live or die. I want this done!
(He starts leaving) Come on then! Get to work! Chop Chop!
Stall holder
He is vain and evil!
Stall holder
Shhhhh! You will have us all killed!
Builder 1
2 million blocks of stone!
Builder 2
Each block will weigh 3 tonnes!
Builder 3
We can use cranes or truck... Can't we?
Builder 2

Builder 1
We will have to move all these by hand!
