Ancient Academy: Ancient Egypt Scarabs, Sculptures & Scripts

Ancient Egypt: Scarabs, Sculptures & Scripts Scribes, artisans, farmers, and peasants: Your position in society directed your life. Yet everyone planned for the future - that is, the future afterlife! What did mummies have to do with daily Egyptian living? What goes into the process of mummification? Read between the (hieroglyphic) lines from “The Book of Coming Forth by Day” (aka “Book of the Dead”) as we design our sarcophagus. Sculpt the Eye of Horas and heart scarabs, and create funerary masks and ushabti figurines (your little helpers in the afterlife). Prepare to send our mummy off in style. Decipher the mystery of hieroglyphs. (No camp on July 5.) $500 before 2/28; $525 after 2/28
