Egyptian Tomb Paintings and Artefacts
History · Ancient Egypt · conceptual
Use tomb paintings, artefacts, and objects from ancient Egypt as evidence to find out about daily life: Nebamun's tomb paintings show hunting and feasting, jewellery and furniture reveal craftsmanship, and everyday objects like pots and tools tell us what ordinary people used — understanding that these sources are how we piece together information about a civilisation that ended thousands of years ago
What mastery looks like
- Describe what can be learned about Egyptian life by studying a tomb painting or artefact
- Explain that objects found in tombs and ruins are evidence that helps archaeologists understand the past
- Give an example of something specific a painting or object reveals (e.g., what food they ate, what games they played)
Check your understanding
If Egyptian Tomb Paintings and Artefacts looks at an ancient Egyptian painting showing people fishing and feasting, can they explain what it tells us about how Egyptians lived?
