I seem to have warped into Ancient Egypt. The Nile looks beautiful but --I don't think I want to swim in it,those crocodiles look hungry,I didn't bring a beach towel, so I think I'll head to the market. I hope I can find --a scarab beetle amulet.some fresh dates to eat.some papyrus so I can write home. If I'm lucky I'll --be mistaken for a Pharaoh.take a tour of the pyramids.avoid shaving my head to stay cool. I wanted to learn how to write hieroglyphs but --it takes 12 years to become a scribe.they beat students who make mistakes.I'd rather play Senet - it's like checkers. I went into a mummification room by mistake and saw --things that would turn your stomachsome cool jars filled with people gutsthat I'm not cut out for a job like that and discovered that --a brain could fit through a nostril.the afterlife was a big deal back then.even pets were mummified.
