The Secrets of the Pyramid
Play the role of archaeologist as you explore this pyramid model and the treasures buried within. After using hieroglyphics to decipher the secret to unlocking the pyramid, use tools and techniques similiar to those of a real archaeologist to carefully excavate a sarcophagus, death mask, and four canopic urns from inside. Open the sarcophagus, and you will discover a model mummy preserved within.
As you uncover the artifacts in the pyramid, you will learn about archaeological science, including excavation, conservation, dating, and remote sensing. You will also learn about ancient Egyptian customs, kieroglyphics, mummification, and pyramid construction. Investigate the layout of the pyramid construction. Investigate the layout of the pyramid, its various chambers, hidden passageways, and security devices by constructing a three-dimensional cross section. Full-color, 16-page experiment manual.

model pyramid
sarcophagus

As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 8 years of age.

My 8 year old daughter started working on this christmas morning and didnt stop until she finished it. I was so curious, I watched her. She thought it was amazing. She was a little freaked out at how real the mummy looked! I love it.

Information about Archaeology Kit: Pyramid

My mother bought this for my 5 year old son and he absolutely loved it!. He sat there for about an hour completing it from start to finish. My only complaint is that it was to easy and they need to make the excavation a little harder which I find with most of these excavation kits.

Archaeology Kit: Pyramid
Posted 12/15/2009 by Homeschool Mom

I bought this for my 4 1/2 year old son. He is interested in archaeology and especially mummies and pyramids. He loved that we had to decipher the hieroglyphs to open the pyramid even though they were a little hard to make out. When we got it open, the lock had broken off but that doesn't matter. He carefully excavated the mummy and 4 urns and I used the book that comes with it to explain about the artifacts. This was fun and not too messy. I put the pyramid on a towel and just tossed the sand in the trash after he was done. The tools are of good quality and not dangerous. We cut some strips off the box that has a line of hieroglyphs to use for bookmarks. Overall, it was great fun and a good way to introduce archaeology and Egypt.
