The fun workshop was a mummy-wrapping workshop on the last day. Dana Goodburn-Brown, who had worked with Dr. Zahi Hawass on the golden mummies from Bahariya Oasis, taught us to make our own Greco-Roman era mummy wrappings using action figures or water bottles(!) in place of mummies. I think this would be a great activity for the campers next year....
Dana's wrapped mummy, made for a TV program in Britain. It's modelled after one from the Bahariya find; I know the boobs look goofy but so do the original's.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.
Mummy wrapping- I love this idea. We have a teachers' workshop on Nov 10th on Egypt. This sounds like a good activity. Do you mind if i call you?
