NOME SET – NO WRITING – DO ON YOUR OWN PAPER
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN TIMELINE--Construct a Timeline of Ancient Egypt
Understand and divide timeline into equal parts
· Egyptian recorded history goes back to 5000BC.
1. If 1 cm = one year how many cm long would a timeline going back to 5000BC be? Explain on back of timeline
2. It usually isn’t practical to make a timeline this long so often timelines are made by using much small measurements to represent longer periods of time. You will be creating a timeline on plain white paper oriented to landscape and divided into equal parts covering from 2013 AD to 5000BC. What would a logical division of time be for this timeline? Explain on back of timeline.
3. The paper is 28 cm long. Based on how many divisions of time you have—how long would each 1000 years be in cm? Explain on back.
Correctly label the timeline with AD, BC, and CE
4. In your own words on the back of your timeline explain what AD, BC, and CE mean.
