Animal Mummies!

If the PREZI is NOT working, click "Ancient Mummy Animals" right above this sentence to view it from Prezi.com. Thank you.
Ancient Egypt is so fascinating, I have decided to linger in this ancient world a bit longer. This week, as we transition our scaprbook project into the binders, we are going to take this opportunity to learn about one more interesting aspect of ancient Egypt: Animal Mummies. The above prezi will guide you through a brief presentation about animal mummies in Ancient Egypt. This excellent prezi was produced by my #1 assistant, who did a great job.
Task: Navigate through the animal prezi above and post a comment telling me 3 things that you learned. That's it. Make sure you get this done. If prezi doesn't work at your house, then use a computer at school. You have 5 days to figure out how to get to a computer that works, so make it happen. Five days is plenty of time.
DUE: Friday, December 2nd. Midnight.
Points: 20 points.

We have a big month ahead of us. Let's get focused.

  8. I learned that Egyptians thought highly of the pets, and took time and care to mummify them. The steps they took to mummify animals I found similar to the ones that they fallowed to preserve humans. One thing different is that they stuffed the animal's body with stuffing after removing organs. Egyptians mummified cats, dogs, fish, monkeys, gazelle and a number of many other animals found in Egypt and kept as pets.
