Who was Djehutynakht (je-hooty-knocked)? Why is a 4,000-year-old tomb like a crime scene? What is an archaeologist? What is the significance of the scarab beetle to Ancient Egyptians? How did Egyptians prepare a body for the afterlife? Fourth graders are currently engaged in a study of Ancient Egypt (along with the Third Grade). Last week we took a trip to Boston's Museum of Fine Arts to view the permanent Egyptian collection and to see the new exhibit, The Secrets of Tomb 10A. Students have explored Egyptian artifacts from the Children's Museum, completed portraits of King Tutankhamen, are creating their own tomb paintings and amulets, and are learning about the topography and rich history of the Nile River valley.
