Ancient Egypt

Last week I was talking about the disposal of radioactive waste with my SL class trying to get across the points about how difficult it was to plan for storage of anything for 100,000 years when even the pyramids have only been there for about 5000 years. I actually didn't know how old the pyramids were but Lamis from Egypt supplied the information. In todays lesson about solar power I showed a photo of one of the solar power station near Seville and commented on how it looked like some sort of temple to the Sun, rather like the eqyptian pyramids. So here's the challenge, is it possible to mention the Egyptian pyramids in every lesson for the rest of the SL course? I'm certainly going to give it a go.
