On Tuesday 12th January class 8 visited the British Museum to learn about Ancient Egypt. We learnt about a famous person named Nebamum who was a hunter. He was known for a famous picture called hunting in the marshes.
We learnt about mummies and discovered that all pharaohs when they died had their internal organs removed, except for the heart, as they believed that the heart would be needed in the after life. All pharaohs in Egypt were mummified and put in a coffin called a sarcophagus. People in Ancient Egypt also mummified animals to go with the pharaoh to his after life.
We also saw a human body that was buried in the sand called Ginger.
