No? Anyway – I really heartthe job that homeschooling moms do – I think that the one who loves them best is the one who can teach them best – and thus – YOU are there teacher. God bless and keep you and each and every one of yours Jennifer.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376005422623882947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378883230183954384.post-85949774954333415642012-01-25T19:57:06.691-06:002012-01-25T19:57:06.691-06:00You were sooo lucky to get to see this.

Its focus was on looking for anthropological evidence of the Exodus. A bit sensationalized, as Discovery is wont to do. It's been a while, but I remember previewing it with hubby and thinking it was too graphic for my kids at the time (I may need to look at it again). I think the evidence was inconclusive, but there were some suggestions there...anyway, something you might be able to find at your library.<br /><br />Thank you for linking up with the Virtual Curriculum Fair. ;0)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710205217819146347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378883230183954384.post-39592890077165757842012-01-23T07:27:56.499-06:002012-01-23T07:27:56.499-06:00We visited the King Tut exhibit when it was in Phi...We visited the King Tut exhibit when it was in Philadelphia several years ago. It was fascinating! But as you mentioned, also rather sad - the futility of the Egyptians' preparation for the afterlife. 8-( <br /><br />We just started discussing the Exodus with our youth group and the timeline I consulted shows that it probably took place during the reign of Rameses II. The only reason I remember that is because we talked about and looked at the timeline just last night!<br /><br />Great field trip!Kym https://www.blogger.com/profile/11491633578560803666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378883230183954384.post-79878491615200090812012-01-23T06:24:12.337-06:002012-01-23T06:24:12.337-06:00Lucky you to see this exhibit.

We have read lots of books on ancient Egypt and King Tut. So glad you and your kids got to see it.
