World History in a Nutshell

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

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

"It's just that since coming here, I wonder if, oh, magic could account for the similarities. Or if the stories of magic carpets are real, and someone years ago took a trip from Machu Picchu to Thebes. Or vice versa." She bit her lip, thinking. "Do you think it's likely?"

"Honestly? I have no idea. In my world, it's only witches what have magic, and they all live in the North. Dr Jackson might know, though." She smiled at Evie, and then looked over your shoulder at Dean.

"Hey, how'd you feel about making a study group: you, me, Dean, and maybe anyone else who wants?"

"That would be briliant," Evie enthused as quietly as she could, nodding happily. "Dean just asked for help, and of course, anything I can do, it would be no problem."

"That'd be awfully good of you. I'm finding it hard to weed out the things we ought to know from the sand enthusiasm." Lyra grinned.

"I'll bring cookies, too. They always help." Evie bounced, pleased at the prospect, and went back to color-highlighting her notes.
