Introduction
All throughout the world people have different
beliefs and traditions. It is through these different beliefs and
traditions that we learn many new and interesting ways people have once viewed and currently view the
world.One way in which people have different beliefs and traditions are in regards to the dead. Death is unavoidable and is part of everyones lives. However, the meaning and process taken after death vary from person to person, culture to culture, and past to present. The Ancient Egyptians were one particular group of people who had a unique way of caring for their dead.
My
name is Rafi the
Embalmer, and I am here to help you learn the art of mummification.
However, I have much to do and am unable to guide you. You must
take
the matters into your own hands, using the papers that I have left for
you to learn the art.
Be on your way, and don't forget you may be called upon to help with a King's burial. Will you be prepared?!

Some questions to consider:
- Why do Ancient Egyptians mummify their dead?
- How did Egyptians mummify their dead?
- Who was mummified when they died?
- Are their any similarities between the Egyptians mummification process and the process taken in the United States now?
