|1. Welcome to our sharing assembly (in the middle and bow – wearing Pharaoh Mask) |

| |

|2. We are going to take you back in time, right back, to Ancient times… |

| |

|3. Ancient Egypt – 3000 years ago |

| |

|Scene 1: Tutankhamun + Belly dancers |

| |

|4. Here deep in the Ancient lands |

|Amidst the sparkling, desert sands open arms to introduce… |

| |

| |

| |

|5. There lies a secret, hidden well |

|And this is the story we are here to tell… |

| |

|6. It all begins on the banks of the Nile |

|Where Pharaohs lived, oozing style |

| |

|7. Us Pharaoh’s ruled this huge desert land, |

|and we built our temples in the sand. |

| |

|8. Standing tall they were impressive |

|the largest ones were really massive! |

| |

|9. We were leaders of fashion and skirts we did wear, and we shaved a lot so our heads were bare. |

| |

|10. Sadly eventually, each of us will die and be buried in great pyramids that point to the sky |

| |

|11. And then, when our families have finally cried, we’ll be taken straight away to be mummified. |

| |

|12. And so by the light of the desert moon, |

|A new King was found, it was Tutankhamun... |

| |

| |

|13. Tutankhamun, or King Tut he was known, |

|Was the Great Boy King who took to the throne. |

| |

|14. He was just a boy and his job was vast, |

|To rule the whole of Egypt in those times past. |

| |

|15. The job was hard, and decisions were tough, |

|But really, King Tut didn’t have it THAT rough! |

| |

|16. He had us servants and minders by his side, |

|Not to mention his very own, pretty bride! |

| |

|17. Fanning him, feeding him – we were loyal |

|This was something, surely no one could spoil… |

| |

|18. Then one day, King Tut dropped dead |

|“It really is a mystery” everyone said |

| |

|Children to carry Tutankhamun to the side |

| |

|19. They buried him quickly in a secret tomb |

|Deep below the mountains where there was plenty of room |

| |

|20. His body was wrapped and left to go rotten, |

|The tomb was sealed and the King was forgotten. |

| |

|Building the Pyramids + pyramid dancing |

| |

|21. One fine day, on the banks of the Nile, |

|Us Farmers laid the pyramid bricks, pile on pile |

| |

|22. The pyramid builder’s job often brought on tears, |

|Because building those huge pyramids took years and years. |

| |

|23. I’ve been busy building at a rapid pace, |

|with the boiling hot sun rays on my face |

| |

|24. I’ve been building too, my muscles are swelling, |

|The men in charge are always yelling! |

| |

|25. Heave, Heave - we work all day, and did you know we get no pay? |

| |

|26. We work very hard, all for our King |

|We’re really proud to build this tomb for him. |

| |

|Mummies + Mummy Dance |

| |

|27. We are mummies, we’re stiff and cold |

|we’ve been wrapped up in cloth – we’re really old! |

| |

|28. In Ancient times, when people died |

|Their bodies were stuffed and bits taken from inside. |

| |

|29. Our brains were pulled, with care I hope, |

|Through our nose, like a long, long rope. |

| |

|30. Our other body bits were put in a pot |

|And pickled so they would not rot. |

| |

|31. In golden coffins, our bodies now lay, |

|For 1000s of years that’s where we’d stay |

| |

|32. Deep inside the tomb we would finally rest |

|Which is why we wanted OUR pyramid to look the best! |

| |

|33. 3000 YEARS LATER – November 1922 |

| |

|34. On a warm Egyptian evening – the sun was setting slow, and the sky all around was red with a glow. |

| |

|35. Deep in the rocks, in the valley of the kings |

|Where chisels and hammers made tings and pings |

| |

|36. A man named Howard was searching fast |

|For signs of a secret tomb, from the past |

| |

|37. Many of us men helped with a dig and a tap |

|Staring hard and using a map |

| |

|38. Then suddenly, from down in the sand |

|A worker yelled to me, “Howard”, and I ran waving my hand |

| |

|39. Some steps were uncovered, quick and fast |

|And a large old door that would lead to the past |

| |

|40. Howard Carter, was pleased it’s true |

|And he phoned his friend Carnarvon, to tell him too! |

| |

|41. Then one week later, with Carnarvon and Carter ready, they got to the door – their hearts beating steady |

| |

|42. Was this the tomb of Tut they said? |

|Millions of thoughts went round their heads |

| |

|43. A small hole was made in the door |

|As light flickered through, guess what they saw? |

| |

|44. Wonderful things all precious and gold |

|Carter’s face lit up at everything he’d told! |

| |

|45. For the newly discovered, King Tut – great things were in store, |

|And Tutankhamun, was Forgotten no more! |

| |

|FACTS |

|Tutankhamun’s body lay undiscovered for nearly 3000 years, under rocks and sands in the Valley of The Kings, Egypt. |

| |

|One determind British man, Howard Carter and lots of workers braved the strong sun for nearly 6 years hoping to find Tut’s |

|lost tomb. |

| |

|Hundreds of priceless jewels and amazing things were found deep in his tomb untouched and unseen by daylight for so long. |

| |

|These precious things are now a very important part of History and can be seen in museums all over the world. |

| |

|But what happened about the great curse of Tutankhamun’s tomb? |

| |

|Some say the tomb is cursed, you know |

|For all those who dare enter, deep below |

| |

|Those who see where the king first lay |

|With their lives, they’ll surely pay… |

| |

|Would you dare enter? Would you go in? |

|Where the air is cold and the lights are dim |

| |

|We’ll end our assembly on this verse… |

|Will you be struck down with the great tomb curse?!!! |
