🏺 Raiders of the Lost Egyptian Treasures @ The British Museum

Fancy a fun social archaeological adventure into the Egyptian temple? An expedition 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 Indi - we'll become direct raiders of knowledge, uncovering the secrets of Egypt’s most extraordinary artifacts — no Lucas props, just authentic treasures that have captivated explorers, scholars, and adventurers for centuries.

Yep - for thousands of years, Ancient Egypt bestowed extraordinary knowledge and innovation on the world - easily giving the big greek philosophers a run for their money! From mathematics to building those monumental structures and advanced astronomy to create calendars, they 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 Dr Jones’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 magnificent collections with your own eyes

🎩 Explorer’s Flair
And 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 too - if yours is better than mine I buy you a drink!

☕🥂🍻
After we survive the ancient curses and colossal statues with our discoveries intact, we’ll continue the expedition at a nearby pub — a chance to debrief like real archaeologists, swap theories, compare clues, and enjoy a well‑earned drink getting to know your fellow explorers
