Welcome to trusty trivia Thursday.
Today we'll be embarking on a fascinating journey to the land of pyramids, pharaohs, and mummies ancient Egypt.
To start today's adventure, we'll use my teleportation app to head back in time to 2500 to 60 BCE.
Okay, here we go. Um, it seems I forgot to charge my phone last night.
Guess we won't be going back in time, SmartedPants, until my teleportation app charges.
Or you could use our time machine, trusty.
Yeah, we can give you a lift back to ancient Egypt.
Oh, hey, it's Max and Molly from the mysteries about true history's podcast.
What are you two doing here on who Smarted?
Well, as you know, we are time-traveling problem solvers, and you definitely have a time-travel problem that needs solving.
Good point. How would you like to help me with this issue of trusty trivia?
Yes, we love who Smarted and trusty trivia.
What do you need us to do?
You can ask the questions and I'll give the answers.
Awesome! Great! There's just one thing before we begin.
I want to give a big shout out to Smarted fan Banner in Austin, Texas.
Banner, who is named after the Hulk, loves listening to who Smarted on the way to and from school.
He also loves answering trivia questions, referencing things that he's learned on the show, and interacting with me.
Oh, and one more thing. Happy birthday, month banner.
Just try not to hulk out too much on your birthday, buddy.
Okay, let's go back in time and start the show.
Wow, here we are! Ancient Egypt!
We accidentally visited Ancient Egypt on mysteries about true histories.
Yeah, it was kind of my fault.
Kind of. Fine, it was totally my fault.
Well, let's not worry about that now.
Here, Molly, you read the first question.
Sweet! Okay, what is the name of the river that was crucial to the development of ancient Egyptian civilization?
Is it A, the Amazon River, B, the Nile River, or C, the Mississippi River?
Smarty Pants, did you go with the flow of B, the Nile River?
If so, you're right! The Nile River was the lifeblood of ancient Egypt, providing water, transportation, and fertile soil for agriculture.
Max, you do the next one.
With pleasure! Here we go.
Which fame structure is located in Giza, Egypt?
Is it A, the Great Wall of China, B, the Eiffel Tower, or C, the Great Pyraman?
If you said C, you're doing great!
The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the most iconic structures in the world, originally built as a tomb for the Faro Kufu.
Okay, Molly, back to you for the last question.
Got it! What writing system did the ancient Egyptians use?
Was it A, Hyroglyphics, B, Latin, or C, Cyrillic?
Ooh, can I answer this one?
Sure, Max! The answer is C.
Hyroglyphics was a writing system used by ancient Egyptians, consisting of a series of symbols and pictures.
Did you get that one right too, Smirdy Pants?
If so, great job! You've navigated the sands of time and emerged more knowledgeable about ancient Egypt.
Be sure to tune in next Thursday for more enlightening, trusty trivia and fun!
But also, be sure to check out Max and Molly on their podcast, Misjuries, about true histories.
Play along with them as they travel time, solving puzzles in order to stop the troublesome trolls from causing chaos throughout history.
New episodes every Thursday, wherever you listen to podcasts.
Thanks, Max! Thanks, Molly!
Thanks, trusty! And thank you, Smirdy Pants, for joining me on another adventurous episode of trusty trivia.

Thanks. I wore winter boots every day for two years.
I hate climbing trees. I'm Deborah Goldstein, host of the podcast The Big Fib and half of those statements were indeed Fibs.
On every episode of The Big Fib, we bring on two grown-ups.
One is an expert and the other is a liar and it's the job of our human child contestant to help us figure out who is who, because no one can spot a liar better than a kid.
We've had episodes on everything from Minecraft to Mythology and from Lego to Libraries.
Join me and my robot co-host Lisa on the Big Fib on Apple Podcasts or on gzmshows.com.
