In The Manchester Museum’s Unearthed: Ancient Egypt exhibition, you can help Egyptologist, Dr Digby (played on film by Terry Deary, author of Horrible Histories and Egyptian Tales) investigate and record his finds.
These include toys, farming tools, stone carvings and burial goods, which can help us understand the ancient Egyptians’ home life, working life, language and beliefs.
