This week we have been working on our Egyptian Mummies! It took us 5 days to design our sarcophagus and paint it with our name written in hieroglyphics. Look at the different designs we came up with. We learned that Egyptians mummified their dead. This process of mummification took 70 days to complete. Their organs were removed and placed in canopic jars. Mummy brains were removed using a brain removal hook, which went up the nose to remove the brain. Mummies were buried with their belongings because they needed these things in their afterlife. Wow, we learned a bunch in 3 weeks.
