Wording of this Handout:


# The Egyptians believed that people lived after death. They preserved people by mummifying their bodies after they died.
# Mummies have the internal organs removed and placed in jars (such as the stomach, or brain).
# A mummies' body is filled with resin - like the sap from pine trees.
# Important people were put into box (sarcophagus) which was put inside other boxes.
# Mummies were buried with food and lots of valuable things.
# The Egyptians thought that people went to an after-life after they died.
# After the time of Joseph, the Egyptians started to embalm animals too - dogs, cats, crocodiles, birds and bulls.
# After Egypt's fall, the Arabs dug up mummies and burned them, because the resin was a good fuel for fire.
# About 300 years ago mummies were sent to Europe, where they were ground into a powder and used as a medicine.
