Learn about Egyptian history in a unique manner with Excavate! Egypt, an immersive social studies game designed for world history students. Utilize archaeological thinking to apply skills of inquiry and evaluation of evidence to explore aspects of Egyptian daily life not typically covered in textbooks. Through excavating and analyzing four significant locations in the game, players will:
- Explore the significance of mummification in the Valley of the Kings
- Gain a fresh perspective on the temple at Karnak
- Distinguish the roles of men, women, and children in ancient Egypt

"The quality of information and methodology behind the questions is stronger than any educational game I've ever played." - K-12 Director of Technology, MD
Players have the freedom to explore the sites in any order with progress recorded in journals that log collected artifacts, field notes, and achievements. Throughout the game, players analyze and make connections, deducing facts about each area layer by layer and artifact by artifact. At each location, players interpret how artifacts were used through a series of analysis questions and reports, requiring them to consider historical context. Ultimately, each site comes to life as artifacts populate a historically accurate depiction of Egyptian life.
