Today's lesson continued the focus on African Kingdoms. Mercer reviewed material about the kingdom of Kush, known as a Nubia located now in Sudan. Mercer learned about the Kushites trading with ancient Mesopotamia and India. He read material about the use of hieroglyphics, mummy dressings, and how iron was a resource that made this kingdom very wealthy. Mercer spent the remainder of the class watching fun facts about pandemics that affected many people during this era. Mercer was on task.
