It was very fun going in real mummy tombs. Of course the mummies are in the museum, but it was very exciting going into crawl spaces, into a sarcophagus, and feeling the hieroglyphics for ourselves. This was the first of many hieroglyphics for us, and we were surprised about having a lot of color left on the relief. Humming the theme song to "Indiana Jones" also adds to the atmosphere.
