burial practices

Why did the ka have to be made a certain way?

  • They thought that it had to be made certain way or else the ka could not live its after life.
  • It needed all the normal things it needed in its life on earth.

How did the priests conserve the body?

  • They put organs in the Canopic Jar except for the heart. They took the brain out through the nostrils of the nose.
  • Then they put the body in a wood box and covered it in salt.
  • Then after 40 days the priests put the body in oils and washed it off.
  • Then they put several hundred yards of fabric on the body
  • Last the oils put on earlier turn into a black substance similar to tar as it gets old and preserves the body. This is where the word mummy comes from.

What things were mummies buried with?

  • Mummies were buried with all the things they need in their afterlife.
  • They were buried with foods that they would need to eat.
  • They were buried with their clothes that they wear.
  • They were buried with riches that they had and games to keep them entertained in their afterlife.
  • They were also buried with some of their servants that would be killed just to be with their master.

why i love sammy

I <3 Sammy because he is awesome in many ways. He is awesome because he loves peace. He also think his smile has made a bigger impact on the world then when he was working for his organization. Also he Is welcoming to people of other races and cultures even though he is a Jew. He is trying to not be a stereotypical Jew like me being a Mexican even though I kind of am.

Guadalajara

quinta-don-jose-boutique

Guadalajara is a city Mexico that I would like to travel to. I want to go there because of a beautiful hotel called the Quinta-Don-Jose. Also there is great weather in Guadalajara. Guadalajara also has the biggest market in Latin America were people are selling every thin from the ripest fruit to toys to cow poop. Another thing about Guadalajara are the huge beautiful churches. The churches are massive and have many sculptures of things from Jesus’ time. I hope to go back to Guadalajara some time!
