Ancient Egypt Adventure Weekend

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a great weekend. This weekend my son and I visited an interactive ancient Egypt exhibit at a city mall.

When my son entered, they put on him a pharaonic suit. 😊

Although he is only 5 years old, he already knows a lot about ancient Egypt and this weekend experience made him very excited. A workshop was organized where the children had the opportunity to meet hieroglyphs, mummies, the sphinx, and many other interesting things. They went in search of treasure and deciphered hieroglyphs. My son was fascinated by letters that are pictures.

When they entered one of the pyramids, they woke up the pharaoh. 😊 He gave them some tasks to do when they went outside. They collected parts of the cracked jar and fit them in the cavities. They had to read something written in hieroglyphs. And they also had to build a pyramid.

When the animators told them to try to climb the sphinx and sit on it, the children were surprised and did not understand the word "sphinx". In my language, the sphinx is called "sfinga", and the children understood "svinja", which means pig. 😊 I laughed when I heard that. My son asked me how it is possible that this is a pig. I told him that it is not a pig but a sphinx, the body of a lion with the head of a man and that such a thing does not exist in reality. 😊

I love this type of interactive workshop where children can learn something new and interesting. The cartoons that are available for them to watch do not have much educational content. My son was proud to be pharaoh. When we came home, he played like he was living in ancient Egypt. He devised a practical concept of life. 😊

Today's society could learn a lot from ancient civilizations. Although so long ago, the basic values ​​that society strives for were better applied than today, when despite centuries of societal progress, there are still wars as a destructive means of resolving conflicts over the territories we live in.

It was an amazing weekend experience and a great chance to leave the real world for a moment and take a peek into the ancient civilization of Egypt.

Thank you very much for reading.
