Students in Mrs. DeMayo's second grade class at the South School were treated to a special visit from a School Committee member and a Pharaoh today!
We were fascinated to learn that Ramses' beard, hat and whip were all symbols of power.
Mummification, pyramids of Giza, papyrus and the Rosetta Stone were all discussed.
Students dressed in contemporary Egyptian clothing and learned that the modern day Egyptians believe that anything gold may have come from deep in the tombs of the pyramids when they were looted.
