Mummy Who?????

P2250714.JPG

All of the school were very privilged to receive a visit from Carol an Egyptologist this week.

Carol brought lots of fascinating artefacts to show us and really helped us understand what it must have been like to live in Ancient Egypt.

Our favourite facts were the gorey details. Did you know before they mummified a dead body, they removed some of the internal organs and placed them in jars? How did they get the brain out?
Let us know if you can remember.

We also had great fun learning how they used the bandages and special creams and ointment to make a mummy. Who could possibly be the mummy in this picture? A prize to the first person to get it correct. (Please leave your answers in the comment box with your name.)

Did you learn anything else? Please let us know in the box below. At this rate we could all become Egyptologists.
