Notes on the Videos.


Video #1- The first video talked about the Pyramids. These Pyramids had had many chambers going through them. They used to have large plaques on the outside of them but they are not present anymore.

Video #2- This video takes about a mummy of a man names Heraclitus. They were  Developed to preserve body for the afterlife. First they take all organs out except the heart. Then they cover the body in salt for about 40 days to eliminate all moisture. Next, perfumed oils and plant resins are put on the body. Think layers of resin are used to apply the linen. Then more wrappings were applied.  Mysterious pouch perhaps of religious reasons placed on chest. A  mummified Ibis bird was placed on the chest also and then covered in more wrapping. Then a linen strips were placed and a portrait of the humans face. Then they covered him with a large linen cloth- painted in red with other symbols painted on it.

     Video #3- This video talked about the pyramids and also some of the Egyptian Pharaohs. The most well known pyramids were built between 2575- 2465 BC. Rah and Amen made Amen Rah- conquered all of Egypt. 1550 BCE- Egyptian Pharaoh Ahmosis – Called New Kingdom now. King tut died around 1322 BCE which was way after the pyramids were built. This was my favorite video because i learned the most out of all the videos.
