EGYPT: PYRAMIDS & HIEROGLYPHS
Visit Egypt’s most famous monuments, pyramids, sphinxes, tombs, and markets. Make a clay cartouche pressing your "initials" in hieroglyphs. A cartouche acts as a form of protection from evil and promises good luck to the one whose name is inscribed inside its oval form.
Options are building clay pyramids or, since Egyptians are credited with "inventing" early knitting, try using just yarn and your fingers to knit.
