KHNUM and Pyramid Builders


KHNUM is the ancient God of the Nile River, he speaks to King Zoser in a dream during his scene. He should wear a large, flowing robe, an Egyptian looking round collar and maybe choose colors in blue since he is a god of the river. KHNUM should also have a cool staff, like a shepherd's crook. It could be decorated with shimmery, dangly blue ribbons that look like water. Here are some pictures for inspiration. A reserved headpiece like the one first below would be okay, but not the big, regal headpieces shown on the last two pictures. If you have any questions, you can e-mail jen.t.preece@gmail.com





Our Pyramid builders are basically the slaves of the Egyptian king. They can wear something similar to this...


It can be made from a king size pillowcase. (Just cut holes for their head and arms.) The costume needs to be white/beige/tans/browns and would look great with some dirty smudges and rough edges at the bottom. Brown leather-ish sandals (not flip flops) or slip on brown-ish shoes would look best. Please be sure that the costume is modest - not too short, and your child is wearing a white undershirt or shorts underneath if needed.
