during its 4000-year history from ancient Egypt to the present day.
N.B. Depending on a number of variables this course may last for one term, or it may extend into Term II.
Whenever it ends, it will immediately morph into a new course on Folklore, Myths and Legends.
If you attend Alphabet you will be welcome to continue into Folklore if you wish, or you may miss Alphabet and join Folklore whenever it happens to begin! I'll put out a notice on e-board when the change is about to happen.
