Scenes from the Marketplace: Toy Shop and Embalmer's Workshop

Each night our guests visit our marketplace for hands-on activities to get an idea of what life was like in ancient Egypt. Tonight we take a look at the toy shop, where our tourists make a Senet game, an Egyptian board game. We also visit the embalmer's workshop, where our guests learn about mummies and decorate a sarcophagus.
