Match Pairs
Twelve shuffled items forming six correct pairings. Swap them until every pair belongs together.
What makes it hard
Each pairing stands on a stated relation — "is", "was built for", "is known from" — so the puzzle is as much about reading the relation as knowing the fact.

What the clues give you
Pairs carry a hint describing the match without naming either side of it.

Match each item on the left with the one on the right it belongs with:
| Left | a mummy · a Roman aqueduct · Nefertiti · Cleopatra · Hieroglyphs · a clay tablet |
|---|---|
| Right | carrying water to a city · wrapped in linen bandages · a painted stone head of her · wedge marks pressed while soft · Egypt · writing made of little pictures |
