The focal access feature of this text are the four transparent overlays that allow students to see inside and outside of traditional village homes, Pharaoh Akhenaten's Palace, Overseer Sennedjem's Burial Tomb, and the Temple of Khons (son of Sennedjem). When students lift the overlay, a numbered diagram allows them to easily locate specific areas within the structure. This special feature draws the students' eyes and peaks their curiosity to learn more about this ancient civilization and their early contributions to modern society.
