Mummifying TutAnkh"Tom"un

Year 3 and 4 spent part of this afternoon learning how the Ancient Egyptians mummified their Pharaoh's. 

We mummified TutAnkhTomun (or Pharaoh 'Tom') in groups, learning about how the body had to be cleansed, then emptied into Canopic Jars, and then cleansed again before salt was packed around the body and it was left for forty days.

Janiah, in class 7 said "It was a little bit gross", but Noah added "It was fun".
