  2. Colton is a historian who loves finding relationships between the past and the present.  He has traveled the world studying and writing about people and events of the past.  On his first visit, several years ago, he did not have many of the tools and skills he needed to research and organize information.  So, he came back to the States empty handed.  For his next exploration, Colton is traveling back to Egypt to research the ancient Egyptian civilizations, including the Nile Valley, the Old Kingdom, the Egyptian Empire, and the Kush Civilization.  This will be his second trip to Egypt.  This time around, he is taking with him his best buddy Sandy, an archeologist, as well as other tools he will need, such as maps, a camera, and several reference books so he can better understand the people and places he is about to explore.  If Colton can accurately find, analyze, and interpret relics from this past civilization, he can present his findings to the Museum of History for display. As a young historian, this is Colton’s chance to earn a reputation as a true researcher and scholar. Be the first to gather the Egyptian relics, and earn a prominent display at the Museum. Digging up the past – Colton’s Story Home

  3. Number of Players: 1 - 3 The goal of the game is complete your puzzle first so that you can present your findings to the Museum of History. You must earn your “relic” puzzle pieces along your journey. Make sure to keep up with your pieces. Each player decides which ancient Egypt civilization they want to explore first. After selecting a civilization, the player will decide which part of the culture they will like to answer a question to. Click on your answer to the question. If you answer a question correctly, you earn a piece of your puzzle. Use the Historian Notebook to keep track of who answered which question correctly. After you attempt a question, your turn is over. Click on the continue button. You cannot explore the same part of the civilization’s culture twice in a row. You must explore every cultural part of the civilization before you move to the next civilization in your exploration. You must answer at least 1 question correctly in each cultural part for each civilization. If you answer a Wild Card question correctly you earn 2 “relic” puzzle pieces! You win if you are the first person to complete your puzzle or the one with the most puzzle pieces when the teacher says that time is up. Game Directions Home Play the Game!
