Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
You'll be amazed, as you take this class, at how advanced the ancient Egyptians were in knowing how the body functions and how to treat it for many conditions and diseases. Find out how ancient Egyptian medicine was better in some ways than medicine in the early 20th century!

Class Highlights

•The BIG mistakes the ancient Egyptians made 
   about the body!
• How the earliest male and female physicians 
   diagnosed physical problems.
• The medical instruments used in ancient times.   
    I even have some real medical tools thousands 
    of years old to show you.
• How the ancient physicians treated pain.
• Magic in ancient Egyptian medicine.
• The specialty of dentistry in 4000 BCE.


How I Teach:

- Classes with only four students.  
- Dramatic Keynote (PowerPoint) presentation with illustrations, maps and photos of ancient artwork.
- Animated lecture and discussion.
- The showing of genuine antiquities from my collection.
- The playing of a short video related to the subject.

I interact a lot with learners, encouraging kids to share their opinions, ideas, mistakes and triumphs.  I love it when kids laugh.  After the class, I message parents/caretakers to tell them how their student did, and I include extra files for their interest.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I hold a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University and a Diploma in Egyptology from Oxford College in England.  And I’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 to see you soon in this class.  I think you'll agree that The Egyptian Room is an attractive, fun and inspiring place to learn.  And, please, if you like, call me Ms. Sennuwy - my chosen ancient Egyptian name.
