Emma:
Welcome to the Peking Man Site. Look over here. Can you guess what was discovered here
Uh, it looks burnt. I guess it might be ash.
That could be ash. It must be very old.
Yes. In fact, the ash may be about 200,000 to 700,000 years old. That means the Beijing area could be the first place in Asia where humans learnt to use fire.
Wow!

Hey, Peter. Look at this photo I took in the Shaanxi History Museum. Can you guess what it is
It must be a horn of some kind, like a musical instrument.
Good guess! But it’s a drinking cup. People believe it was a gift brought to China more than 1,000 years ago.
Wow, where could it be from
The Middle East, probably through foreign trade.

Ah, yes. That must be the Liangzhu historical site.
Yeah! Some experts say it must be about 5,000 years old. Thousands of jade objects were found there.
That’s right. The site also had a flood control system. It might be one of the earliest of its kind in the world. I really wish I could visit it this summer.

Hey, Peter! Check out this article about the ancient Egypt exhibition in Beijing.
Hi, Fu Xing! That sounds interesting! You know, I actually visited Egypt last summer.

Yes, I saw it in a museum in Cairo. I also saw some gold shoes and rings that belonged to King Tut.
I read that some people believe he was killed by enemies because there were broken bones in his head.
Yes. However, researchers now think that may be wrong. A CT scan showed that he had a wound on his leg. Later, a DNA test showed that he had a serious illness. So they believe those could be the causes of his death.
Well, that must be true since scientific tests can be trusted more.

What have you learnt about King Tut’s death from the conversation What else do you know about Egyptian kings
2d
From the conversation, we can infer that King Tut didn’t die from being killed by enemies. He probably died because of a wound on his leg and a serious illness. Scientific tests show these could be the real causes of his death.
Look at the photo. Discuss what it could be about.
