Washington, D.C. 1942:   You are Oklahoma Joe, an Archeologist and an avid contributor to the Museum of Natural History. You have just returned from your 2-month long trip to the Middle East, excavating and studying a new pyramid that was just recently discovered in Egypt. Upon your arrival, your friend Dr. Smith, head of the Egyptian studies department at the museum, asks you to address a group of 10th grade students who are visiting the newly created "Miracles of Egypt" display at the museum. Your goal, according to Mr. Smith, is to give your own account as to how you think the pyramids were built, with help from the research that you have conducted over the trip.  Assemble your notes in 10 days and be prepared to develop a presentation that runs approximately 15 minutes long. Your objective is to keep the students both entertained, as well as informed. Utilize visuals in your presentation and develop a formal set of speaker notes.
