Our group studied the book The Egypt Game and we found similarities from the game the kids played and Ancient Egyptian life.
We have altars now,and they had altars back then.The oracle is connected because it is a lot like praying. And a lot of the clothing they have in Ancient Egypt we still have now.[Such as sandals,dresses,robes,and hats.]
I reviewed the book The Egypt Game. I give it three out
of four stars. I give it one star for being accurate about
Ancient Egypt, one star for being interesting, and one star for
being hard to put down.
