Today we talked about what was holding Mr. Schick up on grading the tests. Mr. Schick then reviewed with us what we did on Friday and what we were going to continue today. Then we started working. We got in groups but I kind of did my own work.
After the pharaoh's, death they believed that he became the God of death, Osiris. They believed that the new king became the God of the Heavens, Horus. It was believed that part of the king's soul stayed in the body. This was called the Ka. The people had to make sure that the king's body was taken care of correctly, or Egypt would be destroyed or plagued. Because of this they mummified the kings and gave them luxurious tombs, such as the pyramids. The tombs weren't always pyramids. These tombs are notorious for having traps and for being dangerous to protect the tombs so nothing was disturbed and so that Egypt was fine. This is just one big example of their customs and beliefs.
