Hi everybody!  I made a mummy( it isn't real).  I shaped it out of newspaper, covered it with paper maiche, and let it dry overnight.  Then we made a box out of paper ( I know that seems impossible ), painted it black, then we painted a design on the box.  I put symbols on the white part.                                                               

Here is a pic of the lid.

Did you know that cats were mummified also?  Other kinds of animals were too.  Mummies were made in other places not just Ancient Egypt.

Ancient Egyptians put things like jewels, clothes, and food in the coffin because they thought they would need that stuff in the afterlife.

I like learning about mummies because it is weird.
