Under The Microscope

PYRAMID ACTION PACK: An Interactive Guide to the Pyramids of Ancient Egypt; William Heinemann Australia, 1994; $29.95

Reviewed by Keith Murray

This action pack has models, guidebooks, facts and games about mummies, pyramids and ancient Egyptians. There's a model pyramid to make up which has part of it cut away to show what it's like inside, and a board game to play.

The pack includes a booklet containing information about ancient Egypt: the religion, the different pyramids, how they were made and what they were made from. It also has information on hieroglyphs. Reading the booklet, building the model and playing the games has been enjoyable, and has encouraged me to learn more about archeology in Egypt and other places.
