Coins have been around for a very long time. The kingdom of Lydia was the first kingdom to have made modern coins. People planned for gold in the Pactolus river. The citizens sifted out the gold electron out of the Pactolus river .The people figured out a way to stamp coins out of the gold. Before the kingdom of Lydia made coins they used ingots of gold before the coins it was harder to buy stuff because for example if you had a block of gold in your purse it would be too heavy or it would Be too hard to buy little things like candy candy bars or lollipops.

Copper Is soft, ductile, and malleable, Malleable means it can be hammered into sheets without breaking easily. It is easily worked with. and a great conductor with heat and electricity, like if you have a copper mug then once you pour a cold liquid in it, it becomes cold. and copper is known for it been used for cords. Tin is similar to copper, it is soft, ductile, and malleable, tin is silvery white, and it is not a great conductor, and it is easily worked with. Bronze is an alloy of Copper and Tin, unlike the others, it is hard and durable, Bronze is also resistant to corrosion.   Here is today’s video that went with this lesson: 

There have been about 118 original square pyramids they were 480 Feet tall and the sides were 750 long and it weighed about 13 billion pounds and was built with 2.3 million blocks. It takes about 20 years to build one so that would mean they placed 12 blocks per hour day and night. The pyramids had polished limestone covering the whole pyramid but over time it had been stolen or earthquakes shook it off. And at the very top, there was a Benben stone at the top symbolizing their religion. Here is a picture of a dollar bill, I noticed the pyramid and if you look at the top of it, it reminds me of a Benben stone.
