An t-Seann Èipheit/Ancient Egypt

Travel back to Ancient Egypt as Calum, Kerry Anne and the History Hunters continue to bring history to life with fun facts, animations and experiments which show how inventions and discoveries from ancient times helped shape our everyday lives.

It wouldn't be Egypt without pyramids, papyrus paper and perfectly engineered tombs. The Egyptians were skilled morticians who mummified bodies to preserve them. But how did mummification work for such a long time? In search of an answer, the History Hunters mummify a chicken named Cluckopatra.

In the dusty Egyptian heat, farmers needed a mechanism to help irrigate their crops so a lever called a shaduf was used to lift river water into irrigation channels. Today, our Hunters create their own shaduf from a bucket, broom and sandbag - getting soaked in the process.

Back in the studio, Calum and Kerry Anne make toothpaste the original Egyptian way using mint and some very strange ingredients.
