And, of course, you've probably heard of the Nile's infamous crocodiles who even today kill about 200 people...

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. 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.

The only sensitive information is that most ancient Egyptian art shows some nudity. Some students may be uncomfortable talking about frightening animals, such as crocodiles and snakes that live in the Nile.
I will be referring to many different websites that feature information on the Nile in ancient Egypt. And I welcome hearing suggestions from students regarding various resources that I may not know about.
