LIFE IN THE ANCIENT WORLD: DEAD BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN

In different ways both the Egyptians and the Greeks believed they had found a way to save the people they loved from death: the Egyptians made mummies so that the dead would be in perfect shape when he woke up in the afterlife. The Greeks wrote songs and told stories about their ancestors so that they would live forever in the memory of the living. Discover the fascinating ancient beliefs and rituals of death and be inspired by the collection for a craft activity.
