Mummies and Pyramids (a post by Morgan)

People from long ago,in ancient Egypt,thout that there was an underworld,or another world.and they started making mummies.T his is how they did it: they took some cloth,wine,spices,andsalt.They wraped the dead people up in the cloth,they cleaned the mummies body,and they made 3 cofins to protect the mummie.The people from long ago made something to protect the mummie.it was called an pyramid.They took limestone and built BIG rafts[Thats what I call it]and used ropes to pull the stone up the rafts.They built them into triangle shapes.they used something to protect the greatpyramid.they made something called a sphinx to protect the greatpyramid.A sphinx had a mans head and a lions body.it did not work to protect the greatpyramid.B ecuse tomb robbers took every last piece of gold-and the mummie.wrote by:morgana.long.
