Egyptian Drawings
Mummies
Mummy-making was secretive business so
when priests it open the body they carried it
into a tent deep in the western desert .They
washed the body and laid it on a table.A
priest shoved a iron hook up the body's nose
to remove the brain bit by goopy bit. After
the brain is pulled out it is thrown away. The
organs are pulled out, and the body is left to
dry for forty days. Then the body is filled with
spices rags and plants and wrapped in linen.
Fact: There is a law against harming any
Egyptians so the priests who mummified the
body are chased away.

dolls, paint sets,toy boats and even
pets like baboons and birds trained to
pick fruit. Some other Egyptian games
included hounds and jackals which is
similar to the game chutes and ladders.

Hieroglyphics
Was it easy for you to learn your
ABCs. In ancient Egypt you would
write in hieroglyphics which instead of 26
letters you would use 700 pictures. One
weird thing about hieroglyphics is that
there are no vowels so we don't what
ancient Egypt sounded like. We only
figured out hieroglyphics when explorers
found the four foot long and nearly
weighing a ton Rosetta Stone which had
Greek ,hieroglyphics and demotic on it.
