How ancient Egyptians make a mummy
- Mr Green dice : "Egyptian history is fantastic!" Ed è proprio vero!
- Ecco la nostra attività in inglese che ha reso partecipi e ha entusiasmato i bambini delle classi 4A e 4B.
- Ho portato in classe tutta la mia "collezione privata" di materiale proveniente dall'Egitto o da vari mercatini ;-)
e, prima che arrivassero i bambini in classe, ho allestito la cattedra, trasformandola in un piano dove poi è avvenuta l'imbalsamazione del "faraone". 
- Wash the body in Nile water.
- Take out the organs: liver, lungs, intestines and stomach.
- Put them in canopic jars, special containers for the organs.
- Each jar has a lid with the head of a god.
- Hapi is the god with a baboon head and represents the NORTH. It contains the lungs.
- Duamutef is the god with a jackal head and represents the EAST. It contains the stomach.
- Imsety is the god with a human head and represents the SOUTH and contains the liver.
- Qebehsenuef is the god with a falcon head and represents the WEST . This jar contains the intestines.
- Cover the body with a special salt called natron
- After forty days the body is completely dry.
- Fill the body with spices and plants.
- Wrap the body in linen bandages.
- Put lucky amulets under the bandages and say spells to activate their magical powers.
Put the mummy in a coffin
- Then put the mummy in another coffin, and that coffin in another coffin.
- Then, put it in a secret room inside the pyramid.
In this pyramid you can find a magic word:- Look!
