Evidence of Ancient Egypt

In history we're now studying Ancient Egypt. This is a repeat for both girls and I was concerned that they would be disappointed, but judging from the amount of time they have spent building lego pyramids with Peter and planning exactly where the secret chambers are and carefully wrapping lego people up in strips of tissue, there are still mysteries to be probed here.
Sandbox model of the Nile River delta. Three model makers -- the smiles are deceptive, they were really crabby that day.
The Great Lego Pyramid, complete with grave robber stealing the golden capstone (you can see the pharoah's body lying off to the right.)

Now I have to say that the pyramids were quite well constructed. I requested a three-sided Lego pyramid from Marina, but she was reluctant to try.
