Topic Activity
The river Nile flooded once a year between June and September. Ancient Egyptians believed that the floods happened because the goddess Isis was crying tears of sorrow over her dead husband Osiris. Now we know that the water comes from melting ice and heavy rain during the summer months in the Ethiopian mountains.
- Why do you think the ice melts during summer?
- What do you think happened in the Ethiopian mountains during winter?
- Can we make a chart to show the differences between the summer and the winter where we live?
