Egypt Unit: Feast and Misc...

Egypt had so much to cover...  Here are some other things we did:

 We visited the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in DC to see lots of artifacts.  The mummified ox was a favorite.

 I thought this coffin was beautiful.  The girls also liked seeing lots of shabtis, since we had read so much about them.  Also, I can't find  the pictures, but the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk VA has an amazing Egyptian collection as well.  A gorgeous sarcophogus, cat and falcon statues, lots of other things.

We had our Egyptian feast.  Labor intensive, but some of the things were tasty.  We had mint limeade, falafel, cheese bread things, koshary, and kebabs.  B liked the seasoning on the meat even more than his favorite Stephen Raichlen rub recipe, which is high praise indeed.
