Students will learn that:
1. Because of the way the ancient Egyptian government was organized under the pharaoh, Kemet was often more of a socialist  nation rather than under tyrannical rule.
2. Part of what made Egypt so great and long-lasting is that the average people felt responsibility for the land (even if it wasn't their own) and were often recruited to fix canals and public structures when they weren't busy earning their livings.
3. Women in ancient Egypt had more rights than almost any other nation in the ancient world - and that counts for many modern nations on earth today, as well,

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 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.

Students will not be given formal homework, but I will strongly encourage students to bring in questions and comments on the following week's topic which they will know in advance.  I will be thrilled if some students ask to do something for the next class.

Each week, there will be an informal and fun quiz to download and take together at the beginning of class.  At the end of each weekly class, we will review the questions and see what students have retained.

55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

I will be referring to many different websites that feature information on everyday life in ancient Egypt.  And I welcome hearing suggestions from students regarding various resources that I may not know about.
