After you get dropped off, you will learn more about Egyptology, the Egyptian gods and goddesses, mummification processes and explore the museum's collection of Egyptian antiquities. Handle genuine ancient artefacts from ancient Egypt. Discover how archaeologists work in Egypt in the 21st century. In this program we will meet Rameses II, Tutankhamun and Cleopatra, as well as other interesting ancient Egyptian figures. You will create Egyptian replicas and make our own scarabs.
