Ancient Egyptians

9/13/2019

Kikorangi learnt about the amazing and ancient Egyptians. First we discovered what religion and beliefs they believe in. One belief that they strongly believe in were lots of Gods that had bird faces and maybe even lion or horse faces. We learnt about their civilization and irrigation. They used the Nile river a lot to get water, travel, and keep crops healthy. Then we see how they are mummified. They go through a long cleaning process. Egyptians believe that if they aren’t Mummified they won’t get through to the afterlife. A story is told that Howard Carter found Tutankamun’s sarcophagus and opened it. He was cursed. Some think it was a germ but others say it was magic. We drew ourselves as Pharaohs and wrote our own cartouches in hieroglyphics. We even made our own death masks for the after life.
