Egypt is located north of Africa their neighbours on the east are Saudi Arabia and Jordan. The Mediterranean sea is north from Egypt but the red sea is east of Egypt.

Contribution to time.

The Egyptians had two contributions to astronomy it was the twenty four hour division of the day and the making of the calendar of three hundred and sixty five days of the year. The Egyptians took night and divided it into twelve parts and then divided daytime into twelve equal parts. They made an  invention called the water clock. it was a container with marks on it. The had a priest called amenemope that was the wenuty. That means he was the hour watcher.

Mummification

The Ancient Egyptians believed in after life. They thought that if someone had died that would come back in the afterlife. First they would take the insides out but not the heart. Then they would salt the body and dry it for forty to fifty days then they would stuff cloth into the body so they would keep shape. Then the body would be oiled and then they would wrap the body up in heaps of bandages tightly. The Egyptians believed that if it wasn't wrapped up tightly it would rot.

Then the priest would come and send the body’s spirit to the next world. he had more jobs as well like supervising the process and touching the body with special instruments. After when the process is done the put the Pharaoh into a stone coffin.

Hieroglyphics

Hieroglyphics was a type of writing but it was in symbols. They would write hieroglyphics in pyramids and in other places. They also made a list called the king’s list. That list was for all the fallen pharaohs that passed away in order.     

Mummification

Walt: Write an information report.

Ancient Egyptians mummified their dead. They would first take out all of the persons insides ( but not the heart.) Then they would salt the body first then dry the body for 40-50 days. When that is finished they stuffed cloth into the body so the body can keep its shape. After that the body is oiled and it gets wrapped in lots of bandages tightly. The Egyptians believed that if the body was wrapped tightly it would stop the body from rotting. When the embalmers embalm a body a priest would always be there to supervise and to send the body's spirit into the next world. Another thing that a priest would do is to use special instruments to touch the different body parts. Some mummies were placed in wooden boxes as their coffins. Some wooden boxes were beautifully decorated. But pharaohs were put into stone coffins.

Walt: write a report

Glen Innes School had their jump rope in their school hall on the 7th of June at 1:30. The classes that performed were classes 1 to 12.

Each class had turn’s to practise in the hall so they can perfect their moves. When it was time to show off their routines all of the classes we happy because they were waiting for the other classes to show off their routines. All of the classes had brilliant song choices for their amazing routines. As the kids and adults were watching the routines they could see that all the kids had energy and had big smiles on their faces.

Some of the songs that the classes done the children knew the words and they sang along to it. The songs were suitable for their routines. When it was finished all the kids were exhausted and couldn't wait to go home. Everybody had big smiles but tired from their big performance.

Pyramids

Walt : write an information report.

The pyramids were built in ancient Egypt because the Egyptians believed in after life they thought that if they made the pyramids the dead would roam around . The Egyptians would go and see them and put their favourite things next to their tomb so they would remember when they come back and it was the pharaohs last resting place.

The pharaohs was preserved by firstly washing the dead body. Next the embalmers took the body’s insides out. After that the embalmers put salt around the body to dry it out. Then the embalmers stuffed the body with saw dust or rags and sweet smelling herbs. Finally the embalmers rubbed the body with oil and wrapped the body in cloth then they finally put the body into the tomb and then into the pyramid.

The pyramid of Giza took 20 to 30 years to build . It was 450 feet high and 756 feet long. It took 100,000 slaves to make it. The ancient Egyptians built their pyramids on the west bank of the river Nile. This was because the Egyptians linked the west with death, as this was where the sun set. The site had to be far enough away from the river to avoid flooding, but close to the materials so it could be transported to it.
