This is the latest edition to the workshops we offer.
We bring everything you need to create a 3m x 3m (at the base) Egyptian Pyramid. The pyramid rises to 2.4m at the capstone. The pyramid contains 200 blocks of ‘stone’ which is roughly equivalent to the number of real stone blocks the Ancient Egyptians fitted into place each day! The Pyramid contans a secret entrance and passageway that leads to the burial chamber deep within the Pyramid itself. Small children can crawl through this if they are brave enough!
During the day, the children will:
Build an Egyptian Pyramid.
During the day, children:
• Build the Pyramid itself.
• Use a sledge to move ‘building blocks’ just as the Egyptians did.
• Disembowel a body and place the innards into canopic jars.
• Use chisels to carve hieroglyphics into rock.
• Make ‘papyrus’ the Egyptian way.
