Archaeology - Egyptian Pyramid

Adventurous kids can play the role of archaeologist as they explore this pyramid model and the treasures buried within!

With this kit, junior archaeologists will use tools and techniques similar to those of a real archaeologist as they:

• use hieroglyphics to decipher the secret to unlocking the pyramid;
• carefully excavate a sarcophagus, death mask, and four canopic urns from inside;
• open the sarcophagus to discover a model mummy preserved within;
• learn about archaeological science, including excavation, conservation, dating, and remote sensing;
• learn about ancient Egyptian customs, hieroglyphics, mummification, and pyramid construction; and
• investigate the layout of the pyramid, its various chambers, hidden passageways, and security devices by constructing a three-dimensional pyramid cross section.

Kit includes:

• model pyramid
• sarcophagus
• mummy
• death mask
• four canopic urns
• hammer
• brush
• chisel
• peg
• sponge
• 3D cardboard cross-section model
