#Children's Civilization and Creativity Center (Child Museum)
#Grade [3] Trip
The Children's Civilization and Creativity Center is a children's museum in Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt, was established in 1986. It was renovated twice in 1996 and in 2012. It is a large museum and cultural center covering 4,000 square meters in a 14 Feddan, 14.3 acre landscape.
The museum was designed by experts from Egypt, UK and the USA and built by museum specialists from all over the world who have contributed to the museum to assist children and young adults to learn through hands on exhibits, inter-actives, computer games, and a spectacular dome show exhibit that takes the visitor through the history of science in Egypt.
The Interior exhibition is divided into four. The four themes are;
Where am I from? - explore the archaeology and history of Egypt, explores the pyramids, visits Tutankamen's tomb, and trains the visitor in mummy examination, modern excavation and underwater exploration in Alexandria
Who am I? - discover the development of Egyptian civilization along the Nile divided into the three seasons of flood, sowing and harvest.
Why is Egypt like it is today? - examine the development of modern Egypt, in a panorama of Egyptian landscapes and their environmental issues, and how modern citizens can contribute today.
What is the future of Egypt? - Looks at the history of science in Egypt, through both a static hands on exhibition that looks at stars, ships, astrolabes, telescopes, airplanes and space travel, and also an immersive 4D experience dome show, in which the pioneers of Egypt appear to tell the history of science and encourage visitors to participate in the future.
Very educational place in a fun way. You can learn about the Egyption civilization
This is an amazing place for kids to learn and explore through experiential learning activities. The external environment provides a great opportunity for children to play and socially interact.
In this way the Child Museum is not merely a building displaying objects, but rather a pioneer experience in Egypt where building, park and child interact and are integrated. A child's freedom to discover, think, innovate and observe is of paramount importance.

Arch. Waleed Arafa talking to my Design 3 students at the AAST. Feb. 20th 2019,Cairo, Egypt
A three hour long discussion between Arch. Waleed Arafa (MSc) and the students of my Design III Studio. The discussion was about his philosophy in architecture and the theme of 'Function, Forces and Form'. He presented several of his architectural projects, including his most recent famous Basouna Mosque in Sohag, Egypt.
The discussion took place at the Arab Academy for Science and Technology (AAST), with the students of the class 1610 and some of the faculty members of the Department of Architectural Engineering and Environmental Design.
Course: Architectural Design III (Class: Dr. Ramy Bakir)
Semester: Spring 2019
-------------------------------------
Waleed Arafa is the founder and principal of Dar Arafa Architecture, Cairo, Egypt. In 2001 he earned a B.Sc. in architecture, urban design and planning, from the Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. He then joined the internationally renowned architectural practice based in Los Angeles; Naga Studio Architecture+Urbanism, where he participated in a number of projects such as the World Trade Center Memorial competition in Manhattan, the Oqyana man-made islands in Dubai and The New Masterplan for the Giza Pyramids Plateau in Egypt, all under the mentorship of the international master of architecture Tarek Naga. In 2006 he established Dar Arafa Architecture, where he designed and built his first solo project; Dar Arafa Residence, which was nominated for the Aga Khan Award 2010 (11th cycle), as well as the Bibliotheca Alexandrina award for architecture known as the Hassan Fathy Award 2009. In 2015 he earned a Post-graduate degree in the Conservation of Historical Buildings, from the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, UK. His thesis was entitled: “The Mosque in Britain: British Heritage?”
Waleed continues to research, design and build with an aim in mind; understanding the essence of the architecture of Islam. He is hoping that one day he may be able to revive it and relink his practice to its forgotten chain of transmission. He believes that Islam can inspire new approaches to architecture offering the world ways out of its spiritual, intellectual and creative deadlock. His approach is based on finding ways to continuing the discontinued architectural past of countries with an established legacy in the architecture of Islam, such as and especially Egypt. But equally, looking into how to bring forth new architecture(s) of Islam in completely new contexts, which have their own time-honored architectural traditions, nonetheless have no precedent in producing architecture of Islam in particular, such as that of Britain and/or the Occident at large.

Top 10 Interesting facts about Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt
A lot of mysticism surrounds Ancient Egypt and it grand civilization.Here we look at some of their practices and traditions, which have intrigued historians all over the world.
For any copyright queries, please mail us -
tttqueries@gmail.com
10. Mummification
Mummification was a tradition only reserved for the elite, and wealthy. It was really expensive, and a very time-consuming process. It was believed, that if the body retained a recognizable human form, it was possible to live again, after death. Ironically, this could have also been achieved quite easily through natural desiccation, by burying the dead in direct contact with the hot sterile desert sand, but the elite, wanted to be buried in coffins within tombs, which led to the science of, artificial mummification.
9. sharing a meal with the dead
The Egyptians also believed that the ka, that’s K A, 1 part of an Egyptian soul, was sustained, through food and drink. For this reason, food and drink offerings were presented to the dead. During the ‘feast of the valley’, an annual festival of death and renewal, many families spent the night in the tomb-chapels, of their ancestors drinking and feasting by torchlight, as the living celebrated their reunion with the dead.
8. Equal rights
In Egypt, the law treated men and women, as equals, meaning that women could own, earn, buy, sell and inherit property. Everyone in Ancient Egypt was expected to marry, with husbands and wives, being allocated complementary, but opposite roles within the marriage. The wife, was responsible for all internal domestic matters, like raising children and running the household while her husband, played the external, wage-earning role. Gender equality right there
7. Not all pharaohs built pyramids
Between c2686 and 1650 BC, most pharaohs built pyramid-tombs to house their mummies, but by the start of 1550 BC, pyramid building was no longer the in thing. Kings would instead be buried in hidden rock cut tombs in the Valley of the Kings, while a highly visible memorial temple, situated on the border between the cultivated land, and the sterile desert, would serve as the focus, of the royal mortuary cult.
6. The Great Pyramid were built by free men
It was once thought that the Great Pyramids were built by a 100,000 slaves, but archaeological evidence indicates, that it was instead, built by a workforce of 5,000 permanent, salaried employees, and up to 20,000 temporary workers, who were, free men.The work was usually done in three or four month shifts,and the builders would stay in temporary camps near the pyramids. Payments were received in the form of food, drink, medical attention and a promise of burial, in the nearby cemetery for those who died on duty.
5. Ramses the Great
Ramses the Great ruled Egypt for 60 years, and is often considered the greatest pharaoh of the Egyptian empire. He had over 90 children, eight official wives, and nearly 100 concubines. He also had red hair, which was associated with the Egyptian god,Seth.
4. wigs
One of the most important fashion accessories in ancient Egypt was wigs, the reason for this was because, both men and woman, would shave their heads in an attempt to keep cool, and avoid lice. Wigs also indicated social status, as rich people wore wigs made from human hair, while poor people wore wigs made from wool or vegetable fiber.
3. King Menes
Legend says that King Menes was considered to be the first pharaoh of Egypt, ruling for 60 years until he was killed by an irritated hippopotamus. Under his leadership, the Upper and Lower Kingdoms,were united around 3150 B.C. He named the capital of these lands Memphis, which means “The Balance of Two Lands.
2. Proper time keeping
The ancient Egyptians were the first people to develop a calendar with a year consisting of 365 days divided, into 12 months. They also invented clocks. The need for these inventions, spawned from the desire for a system to predict, when the Nile would flood. As a result they could plan when to harvest and grow new crops.
1. They did not ride camels
Contrary to popular belief, Camels were not often used in Ancient Egypt, not until the very end, of the dynastic age. Instead, the Egyptians made use of the River Nile, for convenient transport, as it flowed through the very center of their fertile lands, and was linked, to settlements, quarries and building sites by canals.

Pyramid quest: Yukinori Kawae at TEDxKyoto 2012
Archaeologist Yukinori Kawae shares his experiences researching and excavating the remains of Pyramid Town in Giza, Egypt, including a breathtaking 3D, close up peek into a pyramid.
Yukinori Kawae
Archaeologist
Egypt. Say the word Egypt and our minds fill with images of a vast desert, the reddish-brown horizon wavering in the heat. And rising from that expanse of sand and sun, ancient monuments. But Yukinori Kawae, an archaeologist specializing in 3D survey of megalithic structures and settlement archaeology during the Age of the Pyramids, has a different view. He had been living in Egypt for 16 years. While enrolled in the course at American University in Cairo, he was given Ahmed Fakhry Award in Egyptology, and later the Human Social Science Honor for his outstanding academic achievement. Since 2004, Yukinori has been engaged as an area supervisor of Ancient Egypt Research Associates Inc. (AERA), the USA, in the excavation and research of Pyramid Town at Giza. He then took part in the U.S.-Japan Joint Research Project in the 3D survey of Queen Khentkawes' tomb. He has also assisted with Luxor East Bank Groundwater Lowering Response Project by the American Research Center in Egypt. In 2008, as an AERA laser scanning director, Yukinori completed the international 3D survey project of Egypt's oldest pyramid—the step pyramid of Sakkara. This year, in 2012, he completed his doctoral program (Ph.D.) in History, and has been selected as a research fellow in the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. Yukinori has been in quest of understanding the pyramids, and I'm sure we can be provided with fresh insight into the monument.

The Museum of Everything Exhibition #4.1 - The Culture Show
THE MUSEUM OF EVERYTHING / /EXHIBITION #4.1 // JUDITH SCOTT
London 2011
Judith Scott was born in Columbus, Ohio in 1943 with Down's Syndrome. In 1987, after many years living in isolation, Judith was introduced to Creative Growth a visionary studio art program, founded 35 years ago in Oakland, California, which serves a community of adult artists with mental and developmental disabilities.
For the last 18 years of her life, before her death in 2005, Judith created the most extraordinary and idiosyncratic objects, fragile structures fastidiously assembled from found and scavenged materials, that radically challenge and resist - our attempts to define or rationalise them as sculptures. Working intuitively and without any apparent influences or precedents art historical or otherwise - Scott's works are perhaps all the more extraordinary given that Judith was also unable to hear or speak.

HyperNormalisation (2016 + subs) by Adam Curtis - A different experience of reality FULL DOCUMENTARY
Added subtitles (french, braziianl, hebrew, english, croatian, spanish, turkish and russian)
The cult documentary maker explores the falsity of modern life in his own inimitable style. Though he’s spent the best part of four decades making television, Curtis’s signature blend of hypnotic archive footage, authoritative voiceover and a seemingly inexhaustible appetite for bizarre historical tangents is better suited to the web, a place just as resistant to the narrative handholding of broadcast TV as he is. He argues that an army of technocrats, complacent radicals and Faustian internet entrepreneurs have conspired to create an unreal world; one whose familiar and often comforting details blind us to its total inauthenticity.

Corrections:
1. Beirut is in Lebanon, not Syria.
2. At the time of the Roman Empire, Great Britain would have been known as Britannia rather than England. The name England was first used during the Middle Ages, referring to the tribe of Germanic Angles that settled the island after the fall of the Roman Empire.
3. Our Lady of Guadalupe is the only Marian apparition in the Americas to have been approved by the Holy See. Other Marian apparitions in the Americas have been approved by local ordinaries, including Our Lady of Good Success in Ecuador (1572), Our Lady of Good Help in Wisconsin (1859), Our Lady of Cuapa in Nicaragua (1980), in Venezuela (1984) and Our Lady of the Rosary of San Nicolas in Argentina (1980s).
4. At 2:06:35, the correct spelling is Hugh O'Flaherty, not O'Flattery
