Today we used the class to take
more notes about our upcoming quiz on Friday. First we finished the Prezi. We
talked about gods and goddesses and how they ruled the lives of the Egyptians. A
pharaoh was basically considered a god, since they had so much power. The gods and
goddesses were sometimes half human and half animal, as portrayed through their
artwork. Their artwork back then was two dimensional with poor perspective, but
they were still very cool and highly informative. We can learn so much just by
looking at a painting. We also talked a lot about mummies. We even got to watch
a video on how they used to mummify a person. It was very interesting how they
mummified the person so well that you could still make out the facial features
even today. Mummification was only for certain people, usually of higher power. We also watched another John Green video about what will be on our test tomorrow. He talked about the Nile river, pyramid building, and famous mummies.
