Join us for an social archaeological Egyptian temple of fun adventure — venturing into history, myth, and discovery at the Museum’s Egyptian galleries. We'll step into a world of monumental statues, hieroglyphs, and sarcophagi so extraordinary that even the most famous archaeologist of them all - Indiana Jones himself - might hesitate to enter!

But no need for Indy - we'll become raiders of knowledge directly, uncovering the secrets of Egypt’s most extraordinary artifacts — no Lucas props, just the authentic treasures that have captivated explorers, scholars, and adventurers for centuries.

Yep - for thousands of years, we know that Ancient Egypt bestowed extraordinary knowledge and innovation. They developed mathematics and geometry to build monumental structures (pyramids), advanced astronomy to create calendars, and practiced medicine and mummification with remarkable skill. Their wisdom, traditions and emphasis on cosmic order influenced civilizations far beyond the Nile, leaving a legacy that still shapes how we understand science, culture, and history today

We'll step into the Egyptian Sculpture Gallery and encounter monumental statues of pharaohs, sarcophagi, and hieroglyph‑covered stelae. Texts will help guide us through their hidden stories — from the Rosetta Stone to colossal busts of Ramesses II — revealing the real history behind treasures that could easily rival Indy’s greatest finds.

## 🗝️ Lost Treasures Trail

Following a themed trail through the galleries, we'll piece together clues among mummies, tomb goods, and temple carvings. Inspired by Indy’s relic hunts, this puzzle challenge is grounded in authentic archaeology, encouraging you to see the collections with your own eyes.

## 🎩🏺 Explorer’s Flair

To infuse some lighthearted fun into the journey Indiana Jones style fedora hats and satchels are welcome! Feel free to strike a pose beside towering statues or ancient sarcophagi for photo opportunities blending cinematic fun with the awe of Egyptian relics. Impersonations of Indy welcome - if yours is better than mine I buy you a drink!

We will meet outside a tube station. More details to be updated.
