"Man [a Human] Fears Time, but Time Fears the Pyramids."  (old Arabic proverb.) The Great Pyramid(s) of Giza, built over 3500 years ago, have already lasted a very long time 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 inclass and any recommendations.
4. Availability to answer students' questions (by message) after class.
