Five thousand years,
eight days.
Your students open the oldest case file on Earth. Pyramids as engineering problems, catacombs as evidence, a debate in Alexandria’s great library, and a digital journal that turns tourists into investigators.
The case opens at night
Arrive, check in — and by evening you're at the Sound and Light Show under the Giza Pyramids, followed by a welcome dinner cruise on the Nile. The Daily Digital Journal assignment begins tonight.
Debate in the great library
Catacombs, Pompey's Pillar, the Citadel — then the Great Library of Alexandria, where students hold a 30-minute structured debate: the preservation of classical knowledge vs digital modernisation.
The engineering problem
The pyramids up close — not as postcards, but as unsolved engineering questions. How do you move a 2.5-tonne block, two million times, without a wheelbarrow? Students work the problem like the ancients did.
South, to the river's source
Fly south to Aswan — the High Dam, Philae Temple on its island, feluccas on the Nile. Hydrology, temple relocation engineering, and the politics of water in one afternoon.
The valley of evidence
The Valley of the Kings, Karnak's forest of columns, Hatshepsut's temple. Students descend into real tombs and read the walls — the world's oldest primary sources, in situ.
Closing arguments
The Egyptian Museum — Tutankhamun's gold, face to face — then final journal presentations: each student presents their strongest piece of evidence and the belief it overturned. Case closed. Flight home.
History stops being a subject.
Eight days of evidence-gathering, debating, journalling and standing inside the tombs themselves. Students come home with a completed digital journal, sharpened public-speaking skills, and a personal stake in the oldest story ever told.
