Did you know that there were four games of Senet found in King Tutankhamen's tomb? This strategy game was enjoyed by the ancient Egyptians, and now you can learn how to play, too. Granted historians disagree on the rules of the game. I'll show you this simple version we learned while at the Rosicrucian Museum in San Jose, CA. If you can't visit the Rosicrucian Museum in San Jose, CA, check out your local museums for a traveling exhibit. This is a great way to come face to face with some amazing artifacts. Plus the museum staff are usually available to answer questions and are always a great resource. Check out the complete blog post on Ancient Egypt to see more information on this museum as well as the others in this series and all the resources we've used for our main lesson block and unit study. Links to materials included in blog post as well as all the videos in the Ancient Egypt Series.
