  • Egyptian communities existed ONLY along the Nile
2nd Video

  • stone at the top of the pyramid
  • built tunnels inside pyramid 
  • the inside of the pyramid was greatly studied by many people 
  • the people inside tried to find a subterranean tunnel but couldn't but a secret entrance is known but is still secured.
3rd Video

  • died at 20 years old 
Process of Mummification
  • all internal organs removed 
  • body was covered with salt to dry up
  • poured oils on him
  • layers of rosin were laid
  • then covered with wrappings
  • then put a wooden board under him and cover again
  • a poach was placed on chest and then mummified Isis was put on the lower chest (was placed as offering to the gods)
  • then covered again
  • then a portrait of the deceased man was put on the area near the head
  • then wrapped him in linen cloth and then took off the part covering his portrait
  • put Egyptian symbols on to protect him
his body is safe because of mummification
