Prezi videos

Pyramid Quest
  In this video, a man went to look for treasure in the Pyramids. With him, he brought stonemasons, engineers, and architects. Scribes said the treasure was in the Great Pyramid so he set up camp there. He went inside and didn't find anything, which made him mad and confused him. What he didn't know, is that there is more to the Pyramid than what he saw. There are many chambers and tunnels that we have discovered today.

Mummification
  In this video, they talk about mummification and why the Egyptians created it. Mummification was created to preserve bodies for the afterlife. To make a mummy, they first take out certain organs. Next, they cover the body in salt and then let it sit for 40 days. After this, they put oils on the body, and linens were glued on. They put the mummy on a wooden board and but a pouch on it's chest. Finally, they put a cover on it.

About Egypt

It flooded every Summer which left rich soil for farming. When Egyptians died, they were buried with something special to them to take to the afterlife with them. Ancient Egypt had 3 time periods: the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom.
