Queen of Egypt

I was asked by my neighbor, one of the 1st grade teachers, to come to her class and talk about Ancient Egypt. I brought some pictures of the pyramids. The children were more interested in "who that tall boy was who was standing next to me" UNTIL I told them there were trap doors inside the pyramids as a safety measure so the Pharaoh's stuff stayed safe (although they didn't really work)....a million questions later about the trap doors....that I didn't know how to answer, except with answers from an ancient Egypt FICTION novel that I read :-) I learned a valuable lesson....don't bring up something to kids if you don't know MANY of the answers.
