What do emojis and hieroglyphics have in common? To find out, journey back in time as we explore ancient Egypt’s history, geography, and culture. Using The Mariners’ Collection, students examine artifacts to learn more about ancient Egyptian life. Using modern-day hieroglyphics, students get creative by developing their personal stories. They also complete a folding activity to create a pyramid using a $1 bill.
