Kids learn about the art, religion, history, architecture and culture of ancient Egypt.
This is a model, inside a model... inside a model! Based on the tomb of an important Theban priestess from the Egyptian New Kingdom, the lid of the outer coffin lifts off to reveal an inner coffin, and opening the inner coffin reveals the mummy itself, complete with a golden mask and cover. With care and patience, and some glue, scissors or a craft knife, the beautifully constructed model is easy to make and provides hours of model-making fun. The finished product is approximately 130 x 312mm (5 x 12in) long and 136mm (5.4in) tall and is highly decorated with pictures of gods and goddesses and hieroglyphics.
