I have always been fascinated with Ancient Egypt, the mummies, the pyramids, the history of it all!
Now there is a show on the History Channel, Chasing Mummies & I just love it! It comes on Wednesday nights at 10:00pm EST, which is a bit late for me so I DVR it and well tomorrow the History Channel is showing ALL EGYPT ALL DAY!!! I have my DVR set to start recording at 8:00am...don't know when I'll get to watch all of those interesting shows but I'll find the time :D
A few Trivia questions for you....
1. Who was the first, and only, woman pharaoh?
2. What is the Egyptian system of writing called?
3. What goddess is the wife and sister of Osiris?
4. What is the name of the sun god?
