Writing: Hieroglyphics, Scribes, and Papyrus How do Hieroglyphic symbols and writing compare to present-day symbols and writing used by you and Egyptians of today?

Pyramids How are the pyramids similar and different from present-day buildings and building methods in Egypt?

Mummification, Death, Afterlife What objects would you and your family want to be buried with and why? Describe what the ancient Egyptians believed was necessary to make a successful journey to their afterlife. Compare and contrast these beliefs with that of your own. Compare mummification to the methods used today for tending to our dead. Explain the advantage and disadvantage of each. What elements of todays burial processes might have evolved from the ancient Egyptians? King Tut and His Tomb How would the present-day professional explain the numerous premature deaths associated with the excavation of King Tuts tomb: physician, historian, philosopher, detective, archeologist, chemist, geologist, paleontologist, and you? Describe what it would be like to be the mummy of an ancient Egyptian leader buried in a great pyramid, include all five senses, emotional feeling, and thought, along with the causes of these.
