The Cairo Museum
Defense Team Presentation Plan

  • Introduction:

Introduce Curator Cai Ro to the President. Do this by describing Curator Cai Ro’s educational background and degrees, job history, significant archaeological artifacts recovered and brought back to Egypt, etc. Your goal is to establish the credibility of Curator Cai Ro and to convince the President to award possession of the mummy to the Cairo Museum for a period of one year. Express that the museum is in favor of allowing Dr. Deep to continue his dig so that she will be able to finally get a better job and so that Egypt will be able to once again show the world that ancient Egypt was a premier civilization.

Hello President. We are here representing the Cairo Museum, and curator Cai Ro. We believe that Dr. Deep should be able to continue the dig, but the Cairo Museum will keep the remains for one year. Doing this, we will prove to the world once again, that Egypt was an amazing civilization, and that the remains are some of the most amazing in the world.

  • State Your Case

(Be sure to incorporate your preliminary research as you make your case)

What claim do Dr. Deep and the Cairo Museum have on the mummy?

What are some valid reasons for allowing the mummy to be unearthed?

The mummy should be unearthed because it will allow us to learn more about Egyptian history, royal family lines, and who the mummy actually is.

What has the museum done in the past to honor King Amenhotep III?

After the big statue in their museum was damaged before they got it, they reconstructed the statue.

Which myths or legends about the mummy - if any - are strictly myths or legends and what might be true?

What will the museum do with the mummy and any other artifacts that Dr. Deep discovers?

We will keep them for a year, and then after that year, we will have decided weather we will keep the remains or we will let Dr. Deep do further inspection or let it go to a different museum.

How will the museum prove that this is the tomb of Amenhotep? Why is this important?

  • Conclusion

Wrap up your presentation with a summary of the reasons why the museum is in favor of allowing Dr. Deep to continue his dig in order to solve the mystery of Amenhotep and to reveal what may be the most significant find since the unearthing of the tomb of King Tut.

Thank the President for considering your point of view.
