mummification
              Ancient Egyptians came up with mummification to preserve the body for the after life. They take out certain organs, then they cover the body with salt and let it settle for 40 days, oils were put on te body, then they would glue down the linen to the body, then they place the mummy on a wooden board and wrap some more, then they put a pouch on the chest for a religious meaning, finally they put a cover on the mummy. After all of the preaping hey would paint symbols on the outside of the cloth.

About Egypt             Ancient Egypt civilization lasted from 3000 BCE - 332 BE. This civilization lasted so long because of their many resources, like the Nile River. Every summer the river flooded which left lots of rich soil to plant. The Nile was well tamed with the simple use of irrigation and the use of canals. Egyptians were buried with precious items because they believed in after life. There are three different time periods in Ancient Egypt, The old Kingdom, The middle Kingdom, and The new Kingdom.

Pyramid Quest
           A young man went on a quest to look for treasures in the pyramids. He didn't bring warriors but he brought architects. He ended up not finding anything inside, this left him questioning. But today we have discovered way more about the chambers in the Pyramids, we know that there is more than just a tum that was put in the massive Pyramid. There is an underground tunnel in the Pyramid too.
