## 1. Driving Concept 2: First Ancient Civilizations

- [Pharaohs and Tutankhamun](https://ai.page/c/pharaohs-and-tutankhamun/index.md): Know that ancient Egypt was ruled by powerful kings and queens called pharaohs, who lived in grand palaces and made the laws — and that one of the most famous pharaohs is Tutankhamun, a boy who became pharaoh as a child and whose golden tomb was discovered thousands of years later
- [Egypt, the Nile, and the Desert](https://ai.page/c/egypt-the-nile-and-the-desert/index.md): Locate Egypt on a map of Africa and understand that it is a country in a very hot, dry desert, but the River Nile — the longest river in the world — flows through it, bringing water and rich soil that allowed people to grow food and build one of the earliest great civilisations
- [Evidence from the Past](https://ai.page/c/evidence-from-the-past/index.md): Understand that everything we know about the past comes from evidence — objects, buildings, pictures, documents, and stories that have survived

## 2. Driving Concept 1: Understanding Ourselves in the Larger World

- [Needs & Wants](https://ai.page/c/needs-and-wants/index.md): The difference between things we need (food, shelter, clothing) and things we want (toys, treats); that we sometimes have to choose because money is limited
