Video transcript
I have created a short film about Ancient Egypt and the art of mummification.
In year 3 I went to the Hancock because we were studying Egypt. Ever since I taken an interest in the art of mummification and ancient Egypt. The pharaoh has died and is going to be mummified. First he is bathed in a bath of salt for 80 days to take all the moisture out of his body and then put lavender oil and perfume to make him smell nice. Then you remove the organs and put them in jars with the gods heads on. Pharaoh Lancas is going to be carried into his tomb by Donner and Lancaster, his servants, who are going to be buried alive with him. They put the Pharaoh and his servants in the tomb, close to the coffin and seal the tomb. The mummy escapes out of the coffin and the tomb and terrorises the city and he causes mass destruction.
