I met an archeologist
Whose friend is an Egyptologist
She digs up the past
And puts it in a cast.
They spoke of many marvellous things
Some about tombs and some about kings
They told me about the River Nile
And how it flows for many a mile.
That the Nile's soil is very rich
and found in every farmer's ditch
That papyrus grows plenty along the Nile
Ancient Egyptians gathered it in a pile.
Someday, I'd love to see papyrus
who knows, maybe even meet Osiris.
The Egyptian gods were well respected
And in their afterlife,
rewards were expected
Both scientists spoke proudly
of this
civilization
That practised religiously,
mummification.
The city of Giza has tons of sand
Pick it up, sift it through your hand.
And if it's pyramids
you want to see
Giza
is the place to be.
Be warned if you committed a crime
For you would be tortured over time.
And I listened intently,
and I imagined gladly
How it might have been
In those ancient times
