I put things and designs to

represent the person in the tomb

I draw Hieroglyphics in the tomb

I make the tomb different colors

like bright colors I make art for usually tombs and

temples Egyptian tombs were like art

galleries that were never viewed

Green and Blue represents

plants, water, and the sky

Gold represents Gods’ skin and

the sun

Mrs.Swanger’s favorite color

is blue and she likes polka-

dots so her tomb will have

blue polka-dots. Her favorite

artist is Vincent Van Gogh so

her tomb will have drawings

or paintings that Vincent

Van Gogh drew or painted.

Mrs.Swanger was born in

Pymouth Meeting, USA so

maybe her tomb could have

red, white, and blue the

colors of the American flag.

Mrs.Swanger wants her

tomb to be a granite tomb.

Mrs.Swanger does not

want her tomb to stand out

so we’re going to put her

tomb behind trees. She

wants flowers around her

tomb and no weeds. She

wants it on the Perkiomen

Trail. She wants it on the

Perkiomen Trail because

she loves to run on the

trail and loves nature.

My job is studying objects to

learn what happened in the past.

We study these objects to learn

information about how, when,

and where cultures developed.

We also learned how these

objects were used. Archeologists

couldn’t read hieroglyphics until

they found the Rosetta stone.

The Rosetta stone had the same

thing written three times. Since

other people could translate the

other languages, and one of

them was hieroglyphics, they

figured out what the Egyptians

were saying.

Mrs.Swanger’s prized possesions are her

half marathon medal, her laptop with

solar charger, her favorite class picture,

and her favorite family picture. She

wants her half marathon medal because

she was proud of running 13.1 miles.

Mrs.Swanger wants her laptop because

she has to be on Facebook, and since

there are no outlets, I will install a solar

charger. She wants her favorite class

picture because she loved that class a

lot. Mrs.Swanger wants her family

picture because she loves her family.

She wants her prized possessions in the

corners of her burial chamber because

she wants to be protected. If

Mrs.Swanger had to hold one thing in

her tomb she would hold her daughter’s

blanket to keep her warm.

In Egypt the Embalmers preserve

the dead body. The Embalming

process cost a lot because the

Embalmers do a lot to mummify

someone. The cheapest way to be

mummified cost 150 Deben's. The

Embalming process takes 70 days.

15 days washing and preparing, 40

days drying, and 15 days bandaging,

wrapping, and painting. Not

everyone could be mummified. Only

royal people and well people could

only be mummified. The cloth they

use is about 1200 yards of 3 ¼ inch.

The burial is decorated with pictures

of foods, animals, and servants. This

is what the Embalmers does.
