Challenges in Archaeology (CIA)
|
In the new National Geographic Treasures of the Earth exhibit, students and teachers are transported to world-renowned archaeological sites for hands-on adventures! Equipped with mobile technology, teams of junior archaeologist will explore recreations of the tomb of Egyptian pharaoh Seti I, the burial site of China's Terra Cotta Warriors, and the Caribbean shipwreck of the Cara Merchant, commandeered by accused pirate Captain Kidd in order to find clues to the past. |
