Today: Peace Garden Tour at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum.
The banks of the Nile provided the ancient Egyptians with fertile soils and fresh water to farm wheat, fruits, and herbs that sustained their civilization for millennia. In celebration of their natural abundance, the ancient Egyptians would build elaborate and beautiful gardens that provided a place for family, leisure, and meditation.
We invite you to tour an authentic reproduction of an 18th Dynasty Peace Garden at Rosicrucian Park. We will explore some of the buildings and their uses, learn about the edible and medicinal plants, and meet our beloved fish.
Participation in this workshop will count towards the Junior Archaeologist Program graduation (grades K-12).

Today: Cats! at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum.
The ancient Egyptians were the original cat people. Cats can be found in Egyptian tombs, in ancient art, and even found mummified by the thousands as votive offerings.

Please join us to learn the secrets of why the ancient Egyptians loved the feline form, how cats influenced the ancient Egyptian spiritual beliefs, and even meet a mummified ancient Egyptian cat up close!

Today: Mummification Apprenticeship at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum.
The ancient Egyptians believed that the preservation of the human body was critical to safe passage into the afterlife. Beginning with simple burials in the desert sands, the Egyptians created new methods of mummification that prevented the decay of the body for thousands of years. Exquisitely preserved, these ancient Egyptians provide deep insight into the beliefs and lives of Ancient Egyptians while simultaneously challenging us to explore even deeper questions.
The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum is the current home and resting place of the human remains of four mummified ancient Egyptians. Come learn their stories and much more. Admission is free with paid entry to the museum. Participation in this workshop will count towards the Junior Archaeologist Program graduation.
