Posted: 09/27/2008

Egypt is a land of mystery whose culture and civilization were among the earliest in human history. Ancient Egyptians closely studied the stars of the night sky and their knowledge of astronomy influenced their architecture and their society. The Stars of the Pharaohs will take students thousands of years into the past to study the temples, tombs, mythology and astronomy of ancient Egypt. They will learn how ancient Egyptians influenced modern-day astronomy.
