[People Fear Time], but Time Fears the Pyramids."  (old Arabic proverb.) The Great Pyramid(s) of Giza, built over 3500 years ago, have already lasted eons in comparison to other structures built by humans. But how long will the pyramids last?  Another 3500 years?  500?  10?

Class Highlights

We'll talk about:

• The ramifications for the world's cultures if the Giza Pyramids are ever eliminated from Earth.

• How the Giza Pyramids were already damaged in ancient times by a king in ancient Egypt.

• Why the pyramids have lasted as long as they have. 

• The most likely ways the pyramids could be eliminated: by the environment, (erosion), nuclear bombs, vandalism--or what?

• The actions we can take, if any, to prevent the destruction of the pyramids.

• We'll watch two short videos; one of which explains the effects of earthquakes on the pyramids.

How I Teach:

I’m happy to hear questions and comments during the presentation--not only after class. 
Other features of my teaching style and philosophy:

√ Classes with only 4 students.
√ Lots of student interaction.
√ Dramatic Keynote (like PowerPoint) presentation with illustrations and photos to enhance learning.
√ Clips of videos to increase the understanding and enjoyment of the class content.
√ The display of my collection's AUTHENTIC ANTIQUITIES used by ancient Egyptians.

I encourage kids to share their opinions, ideas, mistakes and triumphs.  I love it when kids laugh. After the class, I message parents/caretakers to inform them how their student did, 
and I send extra files for their interest. 

CLASS PRICE includes (in addition to the scheduled class):

1. Welcome message to both the student and enroller.
2. Quiz (actually, a learning tool) as a pre-lesson activity.
3. Personalized post-class message to the student and enroller, detailing how the  learner did in class and any recommendations.
4. Availability to answer students' questions (by message) after class.
