So, you think you know about ancient Egypt - the pyramids, mummies, and pharoahs? Well, we're the animals of ancient Egypt and we think it's time we told you the REAL history.

We're going to talk about the really good stuff AND introduce you to the BEST Egyptians, including baboon guards, mummified cats and even sacred poop-pushers.

Us animals are kind of a big deal to the ancient Egyptians. You might learn a thing or two, starting with the Pharoahs. Oh, boy. Did you know there were seven Cleopatras?! And eleven Ramesses? Well, you're about to find out. . .
