The History Resources below will help you design your own homeschool history curriculum when studying the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt.
Everyone has their favourite history books. The selection below are books which we have enjoyed using as a family and others which have been highly recommended.
Keep reading for an overview or skip this part and read more details about the History Resources below.
History Resources Overview -
The Old Testament and Ancient Egypt
Since we are beginning with the beginning, our primary resource will be the Bible. You can read portions of Scripture alongside your study - Some Curriculum which would help you do this include Mystery of History, Heart of Wisdom Unit Studies, Tapestry of Grace Curriculum and others.
As you begin reading Genesis, you may decide to delve into a fuller study of Genesis, using either Genesis Finding Our Roots, by Ruth Beechick. She writes, " Our society desperately needs to find Genesis again. Studying this book wll help with that need. If you lead your family or class through these studies, you will give them a solid foundation for all subsequent learning, the basis for clear thinking, the true principles against which all important issues in life should be judged. The cure for fuzzy thinking is knowledge of the Genesis principles." (in the Preface, p5) This book uses the resources, Adam and His Kin and The Genesis Record.
Another foundational study of Genesis can be found in It all begins with Genesis.
Of course, at this time, children may ask all sorts of questions about Dinosaurs: when they lived, why they became extinct and so on. This is a great time to explore that interesting subject from a Biblical perspective. Our favourite Dinosaur books are: Dinosaurs by Design, and The Great Dinosaur Mystery and the Bible.
Whichever way you study the Bible, an excellent resource we have loved using is Victor's Handbook to the Bible.
As you begin reading Exodus, it is the prime time to study Ancient Egypt.
You may decide to use a Spine book such as the Greenleaf Series - Old Testament and Ancient Egypt with study guides; or Volume One of Story of the World.
Books which would enhance the study of Ancient Egypt are the Living Books listed such as -Pharoahs of Ancient Egypt, Tut's Mummy Lost and Found, Pyramid, Penguin Atlas of Egypt and DK Deserts, also a colouring book ( I love the Bellerophon books) is a great addition to the package.
Of course, to enrich the study furthermore, are the Favourite Read Aloud Books These are the books which we have enjoyed reading together as a family. The latest we've enjoyed was The Golden Goblet, and also Gilgamesh the Hero.
While reading this book, we were able to discuss a number of important topics and also look at a culture which had forgotten God, even though it is described as one of the oldest stories in the world. How quickly mankind deserted their Creator. I've added this to the Read aloud page. See some questions we discussed here.
Older children may use Streams of Civilization Volume One as a base for their studies- read, summarize, write a context page and then search the primary sources for additional information. As they read the primary sources, they take notes and summarize this and use the information as the basis of an essay or writing. I have always found this an excellent resource.
For the older children, Historical sources other than the Bible can be found in James Ussher's Book ,Annals of the World. This is a masterpiece. This comprehensive history of the world through A.D. 70 is an extremely useful book in which you can read about biblical events and how they fit into the secular frame of history.
Another useful curriculum supplement is Ancient History from Primary Sources by Harvey and Laurie Bluedorn. This book may be used in this way, " The student may read a section or a chapter from his history textbook then read from the corresponding sources listed on the "Timeline of Ancient Literature". A younger student (ten through twelve) may read those passages, then give oral narration, do copywork, or write from dictation. Older students (thirteen and up) may give asigned topics dealing with the sources." (p18.)
You can also create a time-line using time-line figures or just add your own characters into your History Book or Book of Centuries.
The historian of Jewish and Roman history, Josephus, sheds light on both the Old Testament and the New Testament in Josephus: The Essential Writings.
Lastly, in art, we have always enjoyed using Artistic Pursuits and making models such as the one on the Tabernacle.
Other interesting Ancient History Project Material can be found here.
Now, let's look at the History Resources in more detail below.

The Cat of Bubastes
By G.A. Henty / Prestonspeed Publications
This tale is told in ancient Egypt, and concerns a young prince of the Rebu people who is taken captive in a war with Egypt. His name is Amuba and he is accompanied by his chariot driver named Jethro. He becomes a slave to the son of the high priest of one of the Egyptian gods, and in the course of the boys' activities together a cat is accidentally killed. But the cat is sacred to the Egyptians, and the life of anyone who kills a cat (under any circumstances) was automatically forfeited. In the commotion that follows, the trail of this young man crosses that of another prince . . . a man named Moses. What occurs and how the accidental killing of the cat of Bubastes resulted in a great deal of adventure and resultant good, will be discovered by the reader. The book provides much information about life in ancient Egypt. The reader will learn about hunting and fishing in Egypt, how the sacred animals of the Egyptian religion were faint memories of monotheism, how a high priest in Egypt could be a closet monotheist, how the people of Egypt buried and mourned their dead, how and why they shaved their heads, and countless other facinating facts. |

The New Answer Book
By Ken Ham / Master Books
One can either take the Bible as the basis for scientific truth or use ever-changing evolutionary assumptions as the foundation for your biblical and scientific knowledge. The Bible-as-base model resolves contradictions and gives concrete answers; the evolution-as-base model is as unsure as building a house on sand. Ken Ham knows this, and wants to provide families and individuals with the answers to questions raised by the media's wholesale acceptance of evolution, be it human or cosmic.
Unafraid to take on the tough questions, Ham and the other authors he has assembled eviscerate notions of millions of years, gap theory, dinosaurs turning into birds, and a local flood. Moreover, they give the basic facts behind the Ice Age, distant starlight, carbon-14 and radiometric dating techniques, and the supposed proofs for evolution.
Perhaps best of all, and what sets this book above others of its kind, are the final two chapters which are instructional to evangelism. Showing how this information can be used in witnessing and how dinosaurs can be used in spreading the Gospel message as given in the Creation narrative. Adults, kids, believers, nonbelievers, creationist and evolutions can all benefit from this resource. |

History Through the Ages CD-Rom Set Creation to Present
By Homeschool In The Woods
Timelines are a wonderful way to see all history at a glance! They help visualize the procession of time and how one event spurts on another. They also help you see history by the slice - what was happening at various places in the world at the same time. Timelines help the most visual of learner grasp the abstract idea of "time" in a hands-on way.
Your kinesthetic learner will benefit from the cutting and coloring of figures. They are wonderful for the auditory learner as each figure has a descriptive text to remember key points of each person or event. Best of all, they inspire a love of learning about the people and events that made a mark in the world, reinforcing that knowledge by taking part in putting the "puzzle" of history together.
CD 1 includes PDF pages of all the figures in the History Through the Ages Timelines sets:
- Creation to Christ
- Resurrection to Revolution
- Napoleon to Now
- America's History
CD 2 includes:
- For advanced projects, a gallery of GIFS of more than 1,260 timeline images
- Over 30 helpful categories, stored in web browser format: chronological, alphabetical, and several classifications that help make topical studies a breeze!
Windows® and Macintosh® Compatible. Acrobat® Reader Required. |
Although I haven't used these time-line figures, I can see how they can easily be used in any history approach. However, you may even decide to make your own!
