Kids love ancient Egypt.
I did presentations for 6th graders that included the hieroglyphs so the
kids could write their names ancient Egyptian. 
The program also included ancient magic, another topic kids loved. If you
are interested in this program I could provide the material.

Cave and rock art throughout the world? I've seen it reproduced on rocks,
and of course t-shirts. It can be as complex or simply as you or the
students want, depending on the motifs chosen.
