We have been learning about how the Ancient Egyptians mummified the bodies of their pharaohs. First we acted it out and then we wrote instructions on how to mummify the body.

First they washed and cleaned the body and then they removed the brain. Next they made a slit on the left side of the body, removed the internal organs and placed each one in a canopic jar.

They then dried out the body and covered it with natron. It was left for 70 days.

Finally, they placed a death mask on it before placing it in a sarcophagus.
