If you are interested in Egyptian History check out "Raising Alexandria" at http://www.smithsonianmagazine.com/issues/2007/april/alexandria.php.  It is quite a read at 5 pages but full of information.  This would make a wonderful reference piece for any grade/high school student needing to write an english paper on history.  Also check out the King Tut exhibit tour stopping in the "city of brotherly love"..Philadelphia.  Tickets are available if you plan to attend on your own or if you are within the PA area there may be bus tours so you can ride in style.  Check it out at   http://www.kingtut.org/home.
