Mummification

Walt: write an information report

In Ancient Egypt the Egyptians mummified their dead. Before they could make the dead person into a mummy they had to remove all it’s organs and only leave the heart. After they have removed the organs they put salt all over the body and then dried the body. When they dried the body they stuffed the inside with cloth to keep the body in shape. Next they oiled the body and wrapped it up with lots of bandages so that it could stop the body from rotting away. The mummification was supervised by a priest that wears a jackal on his head. The Egyptians believed that the priest could send the dead bodies spirits to it’s afterlife. The people that is not important will be placed into a wooden box or a decorated box. The important people like Pharaohs will be placed into a stone coffin.

A Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt

Walt: to write in correct paragraphs.

I am a Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt. I am in charge of everyone and I have 100,000 slaves.

My vizier gives the instructions to my slaves because without me they wouldn't know what to do. Also without me they could not have been feed. I respect my people and they respect me that's why they picked me to become their ruler. I'm also important to my people because when I die I would become a god and watch over my people.

As a Pharaoh my right hand man is important to me. He is in charge of telling me what is going on all over Egypt. He is also a judge in the higher courts. If you had a problem you could take it to the vizier. It could be dangerous because he could sentence you to 2 to 3 years in jail.
