The Mummification chapter explains several aspects of mummification and burial, including the embalming and wrapping of the body, the coffin and funerary objects, and the journey through the underworld.

The home page briefly outlines the evolution of mummification, and features a link to more information about why the ancient Egyptians mummified their dead.

The story gives a stage-by-stage account of the mummification process. Illustrations accompany each stage, giving a visual explanation of the embalming and wrapping of the body. This section could be used to explain how the ancient Egyptians prepared and wrapped the bodies.

The explore section presents the coffin, a wrapped mummy and assorted funerary objects that are clickable. Explanations of these objects include information about, and provide context for, the funerary practices of the ancient Egyptians. This section could be used to teach about burial practices in ancient Egypt by looking at the function of each element of the burial and how it ensured safety and survival of the deceased in the afterlife.

‘The Underworld' is an activity based on the ancient Egyptian belief that before a person was granted access to the afterlife, he or she had to navigate the dangers of the underworld. This journey was made by the deceased who was equipped only with a variety of spells from the Book of the Dead.
