The eye on the back of the US 1 dollar bill could be that of the God Re or Ra - refer miniature benben stone found in priests tomb. This shows full form of Re standing in a hatchway and apparently wearing a space helmet. The Pyramid is Mount Sinai - Egyptian Mount Shennai - aka Great Pyramid.
Horus was also known as the Ever Coming Son of God - IUSU who was called IESOUS by the Greeks - Jesus. Mary comes from Hathor-Meri (aka Isis) and Mri means ‘Beloved of’. The first two chapters of Luke are shown in 4 scenes in King Solomon’s temple at Luxor, and glyphs tell more or less the same story. King David Junior’s tomb (aka Twt) has painting of the Holy Trinity on one wall and on his golden shrine is a cartouche which reads “God of All Heprew”….W is the plural letter in Egyptian - so Heprews. For more detail refer my website on Jesus/Tutankhamen and Solomon.

A decent one, aye, there’s the rub. I am quite willing to purchase books for my own collection if they look good enough, though.

Eve - to be too enthusiastic about learning is unpossible.

Aesmael - A good mythology book with pictures is a huge volume called “Mythology: The Illustrated Anthology of World Myth and Storytelling: General Editor, C. Scott Littleton - Duncan Baird Publishers

I found it at a local Border’s Bookstore a few years ago. It’s filled with stories, photographs and illustrations about mythologies from all over the world and at various times throughout history. Your local library probably has a wealth of books on mythology of various cultures. You could ask the librarian to help you. When raising our three kids, and for various classes I taught, I found the library sources to be quite helpful and numerous. You can find almost everything you are looking for at a library…if it is a decent one.

PS: I guess the reason for dropping the “Chinese” by the time I was playing it in elementary school in New York is fairly obvious.

Man, is there anything that doesn’t have a Wikipedia entry?? Alas, it doesn’t explain the origin of that particular name.

Funny, I was introduced to this little social lesson in elementary school almost 30 years ago. But we just called it “telephone.” I wonder where the “Chinese” comes in. I am talking Long Island around ‘76.

Sean - Chicago Public school system in the early 60s. I don’t have a clue how “Chinese” got into the name of it. I should look that up!

*sigh* I agree, Aesmael, materials on non-Greco-Roman mythology are unfortunately in in much shorter supply, but it’s getting better. There’s now tons of stuff on ancient Egypt geared to kids of all ages (I was recently pleasantly surprised by an entire display on Egypt-themed books in the children’s section of my local Barnes & Noble, for example), plus museum sites like the Cleveland Museum of Art’s CMA Kids has a whole section on Egyptomania, not to mention other cool things like arts and crafts projects.

Mythography covers Celtic mythology as well as Greco-Roman and you can post questions for experts to answer there. I haven’t used the Encyclopedia Mythica much so I’m not that familiar with it, and I don’t see a lot of visuals, but it might give you ideas and starting points. For other sources you might try National Geographic Kids and dig (TM), the online version of the children’s magazine put out by the Archaeological Institute of America.

Love the idea of your students giving *you* homework, too! As an all-too enthusiastic proponent of lifelong learning, I hope that’ll show them that education is something you engage in all through your life, not just when you’re growing up. Happy to hopefully help!

Eve, Stardust, thank you for the advice. Mythology is definately a good idea, I loved reading the stuff at that age but it seemed like I could only get hold of the Greek or Roman ones. Well, plenty of time to get hold of others (If anyone knows a particularly good source?). Archaeology and history seem like good bets too, I especially want to introduce them to zoroastrianism.

Astronomy, no problem. It’s what I’ve been studying. May be able to borrow some aids from the university. Encourage participation, yes. One thing I would like to do is let them set me homework and ask about something they are curious about to research each week (I figure they would enjoy the turnabout).

Trying to take the rest of your suggestions to heart too. My email should already be in the system after the Westboro video, if not I can send it again.
