Would you like to meet an Egyptian female pharaoh?
Visit the City of the Dead and catch the tomb robbers?
Meet the pharaoh's army with gifts from the land of Punt?
Throw a dinner party for the granary keeper?
Ride in a chariot to the pyramid of Cheops?
Study at the school of scribes?
Nekht will tell you about everything that an ancient Egyptian schoolboy, a future scribe, should know and be able to do!
