Students will learn about what the ancient Egyptians ate and drank and how they obtained their food, including paying for it. We'll also visit a market in modern Egypt, very likely similar to an ancient Egyptian market ( but cleaner).

💥 For more scheduled classes, please scroll down to “Show Alternative Times.” Get out your papyrus shopping list! In ancient Egypt, there were no home deliveries and no online shopping. But there was an exciting place to buy things or sell your food products or wares. And that was: the marketplace. On our way to the market from the Outschool classroom, we'll discuss: 𓂀 The staples (basics) of bread and beer. 𓂀 Bread - the most important food of all I'll give you a special recipe ...
Students will learn:
1. How archaeologists know what the ancient Egyptians ate.
2. What we can tell from the remains of food examined. And - can we
still eat them?
3. The role of experimental archaeology in studying ancient Egypt
4. The process of buying, selling and trading in ancient Egypt,
especially at the marketplace. How did people pay without actual
money?I hold a Diploma in Egyptology from Oxford College in England and a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University. And I’ve been to Egypt three times on personalized, educational tours. As a certified school substitute, I make the day more enjoyable - if it works out - by bringing an ancient Egyptian object into the classroom, whether I'm teaching language arts, social studies, science, consumer economics, art or even Native American studies. 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 for a 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.
