And don’t forget to buy a bottle of Mummy repellent!

My grandkids always like going to the (educational and fun places we take them), but their favorite part is the souvenir shop because we let them talk us into some loot… though they do have to choose something we’re willing to buy for them.

How convenient that that ancient hieroglyphic is written in modern English…

Cheops shops

I thought the tomb was the souvenir shop.

..and we accept Visa and MasterCard

What’s the difference between archeologists and grave robbers?

“Walk this way.”

The shop sells Bangle’s CDs

Grave robbers don’t worry about doing a whole lot of research first, or obtaining permits to dig…

…and, they don’t put valuable finds in a museum…

…and an Archaeologist typically starts digging in the Midden pile.

Don’t forget some tanna leaves, so you can raise that dead … of yours.

It’s a trick. That way leads to the pit of vipers!

This looks to be modeled after the Rosecrucian Order’s Egyptian museum in San Jose.
