Welcome to the latest episode of "Ey Up Ellis!" where we dive into the fascinating world of Ancient Egypt. This week, Ellis and his dad explore the wonders of this ancient civilisation through interviews, museum visits, and listener questions.

We start with a special interview featuring Ellis' grandad, who has visited Egypt and shared his experiences. He recounted his journey to the majestic pyramids, and his very memorable camel ride!

Ellis was inspired to become an Egyptologist after meeting Mr. Egypt, a comedian Egyptologist who visited his school. Mr. Egypt shared fascinating facts about ancient Egypt and brought rare artefacts for the kids to hold, sparking Ellis's curiosity even more.

To learn more about Ancient Egypt, we visited Leeds City Museum and its Ancient Worlds gallery. One of the highlights was seeing a 3000-year-old mummy named Nesyamun, a significant piece of history right here in Leeds!

The museum provides a fascinating insight into ancient Egyptian culture, including elaborate burial practices and beautifully decorated coffins.

We wrapped up the episode by answering questions some of our listeners sent in about Ancient Egypt. Ellis did a great job addressing these curious queries, providing interesting and informative answers. You'll have to listen to hear some surprising revelations and fun facts!

Thank you for joining us on this journey through Ancient Egypt! We had a fantastic time learning and sharing our discoveries!

See you next time!
