I WANT MY MUMMY!

hi I'm back and this week we will talk about Egypt.
if  you have never heard of Egypt
WAIT!
 WHAT AM I SAYING!!!
EVERY ONE HAS HEARD OF EGYPT!!!
sooooooooo never mind :P.

anyway if you do know about Egypt the first thing you will remember about it will probably be the...
PYRAMIDS!!!
   these structures were made for pharaohs when they died.
under the mask, pharaohs could look like this.
BEFORE                          AFTER
LOL

they would put the lungs, liver, stomach, and intestines into canopic jars

They would usually put amulets on the mummy.
These amulets include:

The symbol of life...
The eye of Horus...
The scarab beetle...
and a vulture thingamubob
apparently,  these items were connected with the gods.
speaking of gods Egypt has a lot of them.
here is a few.
Tutankhamen had a curse that went something like this.
pretty creepy right?

the flag for Egypt looks like this.
the last thing I want to talk about is the sphinx.
the sphinx is part human, part lion.
it looks like this.
that's it for this week
join me next week for the middle ages
