Forgive us if we are a little tired today: we have had a busy time.
In addition to our English and Maths lessons, we have also fitted in
a visit to an ancient tomb. In the dim light we saw strange artifacts
and intricate decorations – or were they a form of writing?
The visit has sparked our curiosity and, among other things, we
would like to know:
Why does the rope have red markers or tassles?
Why are there several different kinds of writing on the stone?
- Why do the weighing scales have no measurements?
- Are the leather pouch things water carriers and if so, why do they have a heavy, stone base?
We will share our findings as we proceed. In the meantime,
Mum’s the word: we don’t want to attract tomb robbers!
