mondays class work

at one point all the pyramids were perfectly straight. there were multiple chambers within the pyramids. there was air vents in the pyramid. the great pyramid was the tallest building for over 3800 years. the Egyptian civilization was around for 2000+ years. the nile made it really easy to create crops. in fact the nile area they just threw seeds down and let their animals walk on it to plant them. the nile was very easy to irrigate. from the nile they created sail boats. there were three main times of Egypt. there was the old, middle and new kingdom. the pharaohs were expected to act like gods. Ra was a main central god. Egypt split up a little and created nubia and Egypt. the other main god for nubia was Oman and together they morphed into one and created OmanRa. the new kingdom was a time of war and expansion of the land. when mummifying somebody, their main organs were removed. the body was next covered with salt and was left their for about 40 days to get rid of the moisture. oils were then rubbed on the body. thicker layers were put on the body then the body was wrapped. the body was then put on  wooden board, then he was wrapped onto the board. a pouch was then placed on the chest. mummified Ibus were placed on the chest. they were wrapped on to the body, then was secured down father by bands horizontal to the body. a painting of their face was then out on the body and was strapped down by more bands. linon was then wrapped over top of that. the linon was died red and a hole was cut out where the painting of the Pharaohs face was. paintings were then put on top of the cloth and his name was inscribed at the feet.
