Our Year 7 Classical Civilisation pupils recently delved into the fascinating world of ancient Egyptian burial practices through an engaging hands-on lesson. As part of our unit on “What life was like in Ancient Egypt?”, pupils had the opportunity to experience the mummification process first hand by attempting to preserve carrots.
This practical exercise allowed pupils to appreciate the intricate steps involved in preparing a body for the afterlife, enabling them to better understand the meticulous care and attention ancient Egyptians devoted to their funerary rituals and the importance of preserving bodies according to ancient Egyptians religious beliefs.
