This week Indy’s school hosted an international fair where each classroom represented a different country. Her classroom highlighted Egypt. We have known about this for a month and have been asking Indy questions about what she’d learned about Egypt, so far there were never any direct answers or any interest in answering, so we assumed it wasn’t sticking much with her.

So a few days before the fair I pulled a book out called ‘Egyptology’ for Indy to peruse. Mike was flipping through the book when he stopped at a page and pointed to a bust of a woman and said, “a long time ago people used to wear funny hats”, Indy looked at the picture, then at him and stated, “that’s Nefertiti.” Gob struck, Mike laughed, agreed and turned the page and then explained that Egyptians would get buried in “fancy boxes” pointing to a new picture, to which Indy reported that it actually was Tutankhamen.
