Good work with the societies. This class we will discuss family. First, I have an article that I would like to pass out that describes two different types of families, then we will talk about what it means to be a family.
Homework: Describe your familial structure. Is it patrilineal or matrilineal? How would your family be different if it was switched from the norm?

Well done with the quiz. I will hand those back next class, but most of you got at least 80's. This class, we will be looking at yet more slides. This time, we are focusing on a site right near the Nile.
Homework: Describe the process of embalming and mummifying in full detail, as next class we will be looking at mummys!

Today's lesson we will be studying the similarities between Greek and Latin's grammar structure. As you can see, both languages are similar except that Greek has a different alphabet, and there is no aorist tense. Obviously, there is a reason for this, and we will see that once comparing the two. Open up your books, please.
Homework: No homework for today :)

Re: HOMEWORK [ON TIME]
Mummification is the preservation of a body, either animal or human. Some mummies are preserved wet, some are frozen, and some are dried. It can be a natural process or it may be deliberately achieved. The Egyptian mummies were deliberately made by drying the body. By eliminating moisture, you have eliminated the source of decay. They dried the body by using a salt mixture called natron. Natron is a natural substance that is found in abundance along the Nile river. Natron is made up of four salts: sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, and sodium sulfate. The sodium carbonate works as a drying agent, drawing the water out of the body. At the same time the bicarbonate, when subjected to moisture, increases the pH that creates a hostile environment for bacteria. The Egyptian climate lent itself well to the mummification process, being both very hot and dry
The body would be completely wrapped in linen bandages. During this process many prayers were recited and rituals took place. Amulets of gold, semi-precious stones or faience were placed on the body and covered by the bandages. These amulets were thought to provide protection for the deceased. Beaded nets containing amulets were sometimes placed over mummies.
After the body was wrapped, the head and face were often covered by a mask decorated with facial features similar to those of the deceased. Facial features were often decorated with gold or gilding to imitate the flesh of the gods, which was thought to be made of solid gold.
