Hello Egyptian-pandas!

Panfu is indeed a very mystical, Egyptian-like place at the moment!

The sarcophagus on the beach looks like it came straight out of a real Egyptian pyramid…who knows?

Perhaps there is a curse on who ever was in it? 

Oh Max, stop it, you’re making me and the other pandas scared. Let’s change the subject…

Today we have 3 tricky questions for you to mull over. How much do you know about ancient Egypt?

 Here are the questions with three possible answers but only one it right!

1. What is the strange writing found inside pyramids called? They look quite  impressive!

a) Hydrants

b) hieroglyphs

c) hyacinths

2. How many years ago did  the Pharaohs in Egypt rule?

a) About 4000 years ago

b) About 250 years ago

c) About 15,000 years ago

3. What is the “Curse of the Pharaoh”?

a) Anyone who entered the pyramids without permission would die.

b) Anyone who spoke to the Pharaoh without permission would grow a very long nose.

c) Anyone who insulted the Pharaoh, would be eaten by the Sphinx.

So, how did you do? Do you know a lot about ancient Egypt? If you do, perhaps you can help us solve the mystery of the sarcophagus.

Hi cool pandas!  Yesterday, we were enjoying the summer sun on our fur when suddenly we had a new assignment! Prof. Bookworm has been working so hard in his new laboratory that he hasn’t had time to cook or eat! So we went to visit him in the cave with some yummy food we had made for him. We climbed down the stairs (which are not so scary now!) and knocked on his door. When the Professor opened the door, we were greeted by a big cloud of green smoke! Ella had a coughing fit and it took some minutes before the smoke passed and we could actually see Prof. Bookworm standing in the doorway. If we hadn’t brought him his lunch, we think the Prof. would have starved! He was very happy to see us and the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches we had made for him!

As he hungrily  munched away, we had a few questions for the professor, because we reporters are always curious! We want to know, just like you, what exactly goes on down in the cave!

But we could get NOTHING our of the Professor! He wouldn’t tell us why he needs the stones we’ve all collected; what the formulas, which are scrawled on paper all over his lab means; and what the strange green capsule-thing is in the corner.The Professor only mumbled and was lost in his own deep thoughts, as usual! A real mad professor! So after the Professor has finished eating, we left him to his work. Naturally we would love to report more to you but it seems that this time there nothing to report, just riddles to solve!What exactly is that green capsule? What does it do? What are the strange noises it makes? We will keep you posted as soon as we find out! Until then, make sure you wash behind those panda ears! Ella & Max
