This educational toy lets kids play the role of archaeologist as they explore this pyramid model and the treasures buried within. After using hieroglyphics to decipher the secret to unlocking the pyramid, they use tools and techniques similar to those of a real archaeologist to carefully excavate a sarcophagus, death mask, and four canopic urns from inside. Open the sarcophagus, and they will discover a model mummy preserved within. As kids uncover the artifacts in the pyramid, they will learn about archaeological science, including excavation, conservation, dating, and remote sensing. They will also learn about ancient Egyptian customs, hieroglyphics, mummification, and pyramid construction. Investigate the layout of the pyramid, its various chambers, hidden passageways, and security devices by constructing a three-dimensional cross section.
