To do so, kids have to travel back in time to 18 historical adventures focusing on "periods of history emphasizing cultural achievement." On one case, we had to help prepare a mummy for burial in Ancient Egypt, learning about pharaohs and their customs along the way. In Ancient Rome, we had to uncover the mystery of why the city's water system ran dry. We talked at length to Julius Caesar, learned about the Forum, and more. The program is fun and very educational. The scenery and characters are realistically created and the mystery component keeps kids coming back over time.
