Into the Crypt |
 Put on your virtual hiking boots because you are on your way to an Egyptian Tomb Adventure at www.nms.ac.uk/education/egyptian. First you must locate Egypt on the map, and then you will have to search for the tomb. Are you there yet? Break out your flashlight and descend. Now that you have entered the darkness, keep your eyes peeled for the stela, which will shed some light on the person buried in the tomb. Next, work your way through hieroglyphics for a firsthand look at the secret burial ground shrouded in mystery. This is one Egyptian adventure you won't forget. |

Whirlwind Tour of North America This week, as an American kid, I'm going to take the opportunity to look beyond my backyard and explore North America from the Arctic region all the way to Central America. I've found some great resources on everything from North American animals to Native American culture that I'd like to share with you. Have fun!
