MUMMIES
AND THE DESERT
Overview: This lesson relates the mummification process to climate.
Students will begin by finding out what Egypt’s climate is like. They will then
get a glimpse of how Egyptians mummified their dead and see how mummies could
be created naturally in the dry Egyptian climate. They will conclude by writing
paragraphs suggesting where they might look for mummies in other parts of the
world, based on what they have learned about the role of climate in mummification.
