In Greece they played sports called the Olympic games.
The people were naked in the olympics. There are two different reasons I read why. One because a person was racing and lost his clothes and he won. The other story is that someone tripped on their clothes and got stepped on and died.
There were also philosphers who talked about all sorts of stuff. Mostly older guys with beards.

EGYPT
The Egyptians built pyramids and they used 20 people to carry the humongous blocks of stone.
The capstone was made of gold, but robbers took it. People didn't live in the pyramids. The pyramids were tombs for the kings called Pharaohs.
People who worked on the pyramid were the
Foreman - told the workers what to do (he was wearing a wig)
Mason - Carved the blocks to fit together.
Painter - painted the capstone with special markings
Water Carrier - brought water for the hard workers to drink. It was into big leather bags that were hooked onto wood and he carried on his shoulder. One bag was for drinking. The other bag was to put water on the ground to make the sled with the blocks go faster (less friction).
