by  Penn Museum

What did the inside of an ancient Egyptian tomb look like? What did
people take with them into the afterlife? In this lesson, students will
learn about hieroglyphs, tomb offerings, and false doors—ancient
Egyptian passageways between the worlds of the living and the dead—and
gain insights into the ways ancient Egyptians viewed the afterlife.
Students will then create their own false doors. Recommended program
