On the 2054th anniversary of Cleopatra VII's death, we will follow the final day of Egypt's last ruler and notorious queen before she ends her life, taking with her 5000 years of ancient Egyptian history and glory.

Class experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Students will learn:
1. How a woman took the throne of ancient Egypt, then the most powerful nation on earth, and ruled it for 20 years.
2. Why she is still respected as one of the most astute and strategic rulers of the ancient world, attracting the most powerful men of the time to her side.
3. Why the capital of Alexandria, Egypt, became the most cosmopolitan city of the Middle East.
4. How Cleopatra's death impacted the ancient world.
5. What it's like to die by a snake bite (this information has been requested by some students).
I hold a Diploma in Egyptology from Oxford College in England and a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University.  And Iโ€™ve been to Egypt three times on personalized, educational tours.

I've been captivated by ancient Egypt since I was 10 years old.  And I feel it's my destiny to share my enthusiasm for and expertise on this beautiful and brilliant 5000-year-old civilization with all of you.  I hope I see you soon for a class.  I think you'll agree that The Egyptian Room is an attractive, fun and inspiring place to learn.

There will be an informal, fun quiz at the beginning of the class (which students can download before) to see how much they know about Cleopatra, and I will go over the same quiz with the students to see what they've learned after the class.

When discussing Cleopatra, we will be talking about her suicide and the theories about if she really died by a snake bite or some other method.  We will also talk about the fact that she was the lover of Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony, bearing children out of marriage.  There is a video death scene of Cleopatra being bitten by a snake.  If a child is afraid of snakes, he/she/they should not see it.
There are several websites on ancient Egyptian rulers and a lot of information on Cleopatra.  I will also use snippets from two videos, showing Cleopatra's grand entrance into Rome and the death scene of Cleopatra with the snake. One clip stars Elizabeth Taylor in the extravagant film of 1963 called "Cleopatra."
