2. I put things and designs to represent the person in the tomb • I draw Hieroglyphics in the tomb • I make the tomb different colors like bright colors • I make art for usually tombs and temples • Egyptian tombs were like art galleries that were never viewed • Green and Blue represents plants, water, and the sky • Gold represents Gods’ skin and the sun Artist Lucia Kim

3. Mrs.Swanger’s favorite color is blue and she likes polka-dots so her tomb will have blue polka-dots. Her favorite artist is Vincent Van Gogh so her tomb will have drawings or paintings that Vincent Van Gogh drew or painted.

5. Mrs.Swanger wants her tomb to be a granite tomb. Mrs.Swanger does not want her tomb to stand out so we’re going to put her tomb behind trees. She wants flowers around her tomb and no weeds. She wants it on the Perkiomen Trail. She wants it on the Perkiomen Trail because she loves to run on the trail and loves nature. Mrs. Swanger’s Tomb

6. My job is studying objects to learn what happened in the past. We study these objects to learn information about how, when, and where cultures developed. We also learned how these objects were used. Archeologists couldn’t read hieroglyphics until they found the Rosetta stone. The Rosetta stone had the same thing written three times. Since other people could translate the other languages, and one of them was hieroglyphics, they figured out what the Egyptians were saying. Archeologist Vincent Marinello

7. Mrs.Swanger’s prized possesions are her half marathon medal, her laptop with solar charger, her favorite class picture, and her favorite family picture. She wants her half marathon medal because she was proud of running 13.1 miles. Mrs.Swanger wants her laptop because she has to be on Facebook, and since there are no outlets, I will install a solar charger. She wants her favorite class picture because she loved that class a lot. Mrs.Swanger wants her family picture because she loves her family. She wants her prized possessions in the corners of her burial chamber because she wants to be protected.If Mrs.Swanger had to hold one thing in her tomb she would hold her daughter’s blanket to keep her warm.

8. In Egypt the Embalmers preserve the dead body. The Embalming process cost a lot because the Embalmers do a lot to mummify someone. The cheapest way to be mummified cost 150 Deben's. The Embalming process takes 70 days. 15 days washing and preparing, 40 days drying, and 15 days bandaging, wrapping, and painting. Not everyone could be mummified. Only royal people and well people could only be mummified. The cloth they use is about 1200 yards of 3 ¼ inch. The burial is decorated with pictures of foods, animals, and servants. This is what the Embalmers does. What is a Embalmer?By: Alex Ok
