Start your adventure in science as an archaeologist with the Archaeology Kit: Egyptian Pyramid by Thames & Kosmos as you investigate this pyramid model and the treasures buried inside. After using hieroglyphics to decode the secret to unlocking the pyramid, use tools and techniques similar to those of a real archaeologist to carefully excavate a sarcophagus, death mask, and four canopic urns from inside. Once you uncover the artifacts in the pyramid, you will learn about archaeological science, including excavation, conservation, dating, and remote sensing. You will also learn about ancient Egyptian customs, hieroglyphics, mummification, and pyramid construction. Inspect the layout of the pyramid, its various chambers, hidden passageways, and security devices by constructing a three-dimensional cross section. Contains model pyramid containing sarcophagus, mummy, death mask, and four canopic urns; hammer; brush; chisel; peg; sponge; 3D cardboard cross-section model; and manual. Ages 8 and up.
