Showing slideshows on Egypt in class today. 2-18-11

     Today we watched two slideshows during class. We watched mine and Rachels. We learned about pyramids, pharaohs, the Nile, mummification,  and Egyptian gods. We found out things like how Egyptians believed in many Gods and thought that they represented things like the sun, animals, and local villages. The Egyptians thought they needed to worship for life to run smoothly. We learned that Egyptians mummified animals and humans. We learned that the Egyptians thought the body had six parts. The physical body, shadow, name, personality, immortality, and spirit. Each of these factors was neccesary and needed to be reborn into the afterlife. Finally I found out pyramids were built out of limestone. That was all the things I learned from the slideshows we have watched so far but we havent seen them all.
