Escape from the Nile!

        Answer the questions and bring the mummy back

        home to the british museum!

 

As part of our introduction to The Egypt Game by Zilpha Keatley Snyder, here is a fun way to learn some background information …

 

You have uncovered an ancient mummy near Lake Nasser in Egypt.  You are to sail up the Nile to Alexandria where a ship awaits to transport the sarcophagus to England. 

 

To start, simply click on the icon of the mummy.  You will be asked a simple multiple choice question based on Egyptian facts available at:

You may use other hard copy sources if available.  The questions are multiple choice.  Each answer has been hyperlinked (hit “control + click when you make your choice).  The correct answers will bring you up the river where you will see a pyramid. 

 

Click on the pyramid for the next question.

 

NOTE: always scroll down to the bottom of the map for comments and information!

 

BEWARE!  Wrong answers will send you somewhere else – only the fates know where!  But there will be another question to help you find your way back to the river.

 

Follow the pyramids up the Nile to Alexandria and reap the fame & glory of your discovery!
