Senet - a board game from ancient Egypt --
Board games were very common in ancient Egypt and people from all levels of society played them. Many game boards
from ancient Egypt have been found by archaeologists. However, the rules explaining how to play these games have
not survived. By studying game boards and other evidence, experts have made some educated guesses about how
these games were played. (Source: www.ancientegypt.co.uk/life/activity/act_main.html)

May I suggest that you do NOTattempt to read all the required
materials in one session. Six to 10 pages per reading session with note
taking and practice of the review questions, works well for me. Test
your reading and understanding pace and plan your reading sessions
accordingly.

By the time you complete your reading assignment you should become
familiar with the discussed ancient civilizations, events of historical
significance, and their time line. You should be able to identify the
different historical figures and their contributions, and demonstrate an
understanding of the links and relevance of cultures, traditions, and
behaviors of the past to present day thinking and decision making
practices.
