OK say this has all the signs of amateur filming so I'll apologize up front for the film quality and that you have to turn your head sideways in order to view it properly, but it was a fun activity worth trying yourself.
Here we are learning about why the Suez Canal was built. We picked up the activity book for Story of the World #4, went out the side door and all the way around the house to the garden door. (Garden door sounds better then "other side door".) As you know, before the Suez Canal was built the people who wanted to trade either had to take their products by boat all the way around Africa or carry them overland.
This video is much shorter. We went from the front door, through the garage door (a "lock") and a quick turn into the Garden Door. The Suez Canal made the trip much shorter for those who wanted to trade. Shorter trips for traders means more trade and more profit.
