| The first step in mummifying a body was cleansing. To "cleanse" our bodies, we peeled the skin of the eggplant. | The Egyptians removed
all of the organs, except the heart and the kidneys; we just
took out
some parts of the eggplant! |
Here we see that the
eggplant's "organs" are being removed in the mummification process. |
Students make
canopic jars for
the mummified "organs." |
This canopic jar has
the
head of a Falcon; good job Kamal! |

|
Students
prepare
gifts for the Ka (spirit). |
Our eggplants will have food, weapons, furniture, and clothing in the afterlife. | More gifts for the Ka. | Our mummified eggplant, complete with amulets for the afterlife! | A mask was placed over
the mummified body. |
