Welcome to Ancient Egypt! Guided by ten-year-old Seneb, children can take a journey to the town of Kahun, right on the banks of the River Nile. And it’s a good time to visit, because one of Egypt’s famed pyramids is nearly finished?after 20 years of work. Workers scramble to load building materials on to boats; people rush to the market; and Seneb’s family prepares for a celebratory feast. Each incredible 3-D display is filled with extensive detail, from the cats at the market to the desert in the far distance; from boats crossing the river to the faraway homes; from priests wrapping mummies to the elaborate funeral processions.
