Step into a time when papyrus grew along the Nile River and pyramids dotted the horizon in Ancient Egypt. Discover who King Tut-Ankh-Amun really was, and learn the A, B, C's of Hieroglyphics. This engaging, illustrated and colorful presentation will bring us back in time to the land of the Pharaohs with your very own local museum educator! A mobile museum of authentic artifacts will be on display, and papyrus available for guests to take home.
