| The first step in mummifying a body was cleansing. To "cleanse" our bodies, we peeled the skin of the eggplant. | The Egyptians removed all of the organs, except the heart and the kidneys; we just took out some parts of the eggplant! |
Here we see that the eggplant's "organs" are being removed in the mummification process. |
Students make canopic jars for the mummified "organs." |
This canopic jar has the head of a Falcon; good job Kamal! |

| Students prepare gifts for the Ka (spirit). |
Our eggplants will have food, weapons, furniture, and clothing in the afterlife. | More gifts for the Ka. | Our mummified eggplant, complete with amulets for the afterlife! | A mask was placed over the mummified body. |
