Order a Poster celebrating Egypt's Ancient Past

This is a new topic being developed by SchoolHistoryNZ for the new Year 11 curriculum in 2011.

Delve into the wondrous mysteries of ancient Egypt and her Pharaohs

Click on the picture to access the Dominion Post article "Anzac Cove reveals its secrets" by Kate Newton.

Archaeologists have discovered a "museum under the sea" at Gallipoli, including the wreck of a barge that carried injured and dead Kiwi and Australian soldiers from Anzac Cove.

The National Council of Women of New Zealand (NCWNZ) has launched a petition to ensure that the Suffrage Centenary Memorial remains where it was built in Lower Khartoum Place, Auckland in 1993. For the second time, the tile mural "Women Achieve the Vote", is under threat of being removed.

Urban developers plan to develop Khartoum Place as an open approach to Auckland Art Gallery and wish to remove the Suffrage Memorial to allow an open vista from Lorne St. The site was given by Council for the Suffrage memorial in 1993 and it was especially designed for this space.

The tile mural "Women Achieve the Vote" is a unique public artwork, with historical significance, that must remain in its original site.

"Te Radar - ‘Best Show’ "
Te Radar’s NZ History show ‘Eating The Dog’ at the Comedy Festival this year in Auckland.

The show is a look at the lesser known figures in New Zealand’s history, and is a celebration of the people who attempted great things yet did not always succeed in the way they would have liked. ‘Eating the Dog’ won ‘Best Show’ in last year’s festival and this year has been developed into a 2 hour show, presenting at SkyCity theatre on 30 April. The show is suitable for high school students as well as adults, and would be a great introduction to the more intriguing aspects of our history. The show is fast paced, visual and very funny, and is intended to highlight the fascinating characters that people our history and the contribution they have made to our nationhood.

"Ceiling falls in on Nero's complex"
The NZ Herald-

A huge chunk of an ancient gallery in a complex including Emperor Nero's Golden Palace collapsed yesterday, Rome's art officials said.

The sumptuous palace - built in the 1st century AD - is known to many by its Latin name Domus Aurea. With its frescoed halls and gold-encrusted ceilings, it was meant as a fabled residence for one of Rome's most depraved emperors. About 60-80sq m of vault ceiling in one of the galleries crumpled beneath a garden frequented by tourists and passers-by.
