The Ancient Egyptians loved life, so much so that they went to incredible efforts to prepare for the afterlife. Through a guided investigation of a ceramic canopic jar and a selection of replicas of objects often found in burials, pupils can discover more about the mummification process and learn why it was so successful. They will gain an understanding of the spiritual beliefs of the Ancient Egyptians and the incredible skills of the people involved in this process. Pupils will have the opportunity to record their findings and observational drawings in their very own investigation case book.
