Today in class we reviewed for the test tomorrow. It will be a 75-point test on Egypt. We talked about the key terms that will be on the test. Mr. Schick told us a joke that will help us remember the name for the afterlife. Below are the key terms and joke. We also watched a video on mummification and King Tut. The mummification video wasn't as disgusting as I thought it would be. The Egyptian song by Mr. Nicky was good, but I prefer his song on Mesopotamia more. The King Tut video (featuring Steve Martin) was a little funny. Below are also the links to the videos.
Key terms:
- papyrus- a tall reed that's found in the Nile delta; paper like
- mummification- embalming and drying the corpse to prevent it from decaying.
