The Mummification Continues & We are Making Sarcophagi
As their pharoahs continue to mummify, Ms. Bell's faithful wetyu began constructing a sarcaphagus for each one.  Check out the pictures below to see how well they did.

Here is an updated picture of our pharaohs drying out.They sure look, and smell, different than they did a few weeks ago!
                                       
After taping all of the cardboard pieces together, we ripped paper to cover our constructed sarcaphagi in paper mache.


Next we set out to cover the entire sarcophagus in paper mache. It took many, many pieces of paper and quite a while to cover the  entire coffin. It was fun and super messy!             


                                      





                                   

We let our sarcaphagi dry out over the weekend. Here is what they look like now.  The next task to    accomplish is cutting them open and paper macheing the inside.
