Today's lesson focused on Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Mercer reviewed material about Howard Carter, the man who actually unwrapped King Tut's mummy. Mercer discussed material he reviewed that detailed how Pharaohs who disliked their predecessors would often destroy any statues, writings, and pictures they created during their reign. Mercer spent the remainder of the class learning fun facts about geography. Mercer was on task.
