EGYPTOLOGY


Another one of my lifelong interests has been Egyptology. I would die to be able to take a trip to Egypt. I definitely would, because my wife says she would kill me if I tried to take a trip to Egypt.

Tomorrow evening there is a NOVA program on PBS called "The Mummy Who Would Be King". This is about the mummy found on a museum shelf in Niagra Falls, NY who many now believe to be that of one of the Pharoahs of Egypt. The program is worth at look at 7PM CT.

Some websites you can look up on related subjects are:

UNDISCOVERED TOMBS http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/mummy/tombs.html

WHO WAS RAMESES I? http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/mummy/rameses.html

MAKING MUMMIES http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/mummy/making.html

THE AFTERLIFE http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/mummy/ikram.html

For audio and video podcasts, Links & Books, the program transcript, and the teachers guide go to: http://www.pbs.org/nova/mummy

I would think someone could put together a whole study program at your library on this subject.
