Ancient Egyptian Mythology Unit
I teach a World Mythology course in which I have about a week or so for each pantheon, so I really cut to the nitty gritty of the beliefs and ideals. This is in no way an exhaustive study of more than 3,000 years of Ancient Egyptian history, culture, or even their mythology or belief systems. This barely scratches the surface, but this gets your students interacting with a culture outside their own, learning the ins and outs of other’s belief systems.
