Extra Credit

Pyramids built in Egypt were built by workers at Giza. Slaves did not build them. Pointed to the north, the Great Pyramid was 146 meters high. Pharaohs were mummified, became mummies, and were put in pyramids. Natron was put on the body, along with cosmetics. Internal organs were removed and placed in canopic jars. The corpse was wrapped in bandages and a death mask was added. The process was over.
