Egyptology is so fascinating. When I was in primary school, the teacher did a really special lesson I'll never forget. The classroom was decorated like a tomb - the windows were blacked out and the tables were arranged in a way that we had to crawl in to start the lesson. We went through puzzles and explored pyramids on the projector. When some pupils were distracted by the table tunnel, the teacher stayed in the character of an archeologist and warned them to keep away for the tunnel may collapse at any moment. Now that's teaching.
Sounds like a great teacher! Not in Egypt but elsewhere a tunnel collapsed on me + 4 really incredible people on site helping with the scan. We dug ourselves out with our hands. Your teacher knew the real deal.
