HOORAY!
HOORAY!
We finished the Mummy Lapbooks today! WHEW!
We learned so many cool things about the Egyptians and how and why they made mummies.
Did you know the Egyptians believed that it was very important for a person's body to be preserved as well as possible so the spirits (ba and Ka ) could recognize it after death?
We learned about how the Egyptians buried their dead - in hot sand, in pyramids (only for Pharoahs!), in mastabas (for friends and family of Pharaoh), in tombs, or even in tunnels or underground hidden chambers. We talked about the funeral processions held in ancient Egypt. Professional mourners were hired to wail and throw sand in their hair in an attempt to scare away evil spirits.
We are so glad that we don't need to do that. We have the truth in Jesus and know where our spirit will be when we die.
Praise the Lord.
What a great study! |
