World History in a Nutshell

The classroom is dimly lit and there's a projecter set up to a laptop.

"Good morning," says Daniel, beaming all around. "Today, we're going to be touching on Ancient Egypt. There's packets on your desks with information about mummies and health and --" His face clouded and he frowned slightly. "gods. You can look at all that in your leisure, but first, I'm going to talk to you a bit about my dig in Egypt this summer."

Daniel has a power point presentation and everything which would have been done had the mun not fallen asleep yesterday. It's mostly pictures of sand. And more sand. And yes, you guessed it, sand. Daniel's highly enthusiastic about it, however, as he babbles on quite happily for half the lecture.

"Okay, for the second half, I apologize to those of you who aren't used to computers and also to those who took Egyptian archaeology last year, as you'll have already played a couple of these games. There's a choice of three to play, so have fun and talk to me if you have any questions or need a hand."


Build a pyramid

Make a Mummy

Death in Sakkara

Evie beamed at him. "Quite true! I suppose something only a couple decades old could qualify, couldn't it? As long as its origins are unknown."

She's trying very hard to sound grown-up, but the pencil-tapping and happy smile aren't helping. "If, if we looked in city hall, perhaps would could find records of something?"

Daniel nodded and smiled. "That's always a great place to start," he said. "If you'd be interested in that sort of thing."

"Oh, definitely! Old records are almost as much fun as new dig sites!" Evie really is this much of a nerd, even if she doesn't know the word for it. "I can go to the Hall of Records if its open and there's anything to find and look up the history. It really wouldn't be any trouble at all."

She's not even trying for extra credit. Sigh.

Daniel laughed. "I'd be interested to see what you manage to "dig up", if you'll excuse the pun," he said.

Evie blushed, and managed to not to giggle by a massive effort, but grinned and nodded at him instead. "I shall share my findings with you, of course, Dr. Jackson!"

"I look forward to it," said Daniel, grinning.
