Summary of Lift The Lid On Mummies
Embalm Your Own Mummy! Discover Ancient Burial Rituals! Includes Body Organs, Shroud, and Canopic Jars! This exploration kit combines lessons in science, archaeology, and anthropology with the experience of creating your very own mummy! The kit includes a mummy figurine, major internal organs with canopic jars for storing them, gauze for wrapping, and cardboard press-out amulets to protect the spirit as it travels to the afterlife and more!
Open the mummy-shaped box.... Smell the must of the tomb.... Reveal the secrets within.... Included among these secrets are a 24-page booklet all about real-life mummies and the people who study them, a 10-inch plastic-model body, and four carved heads of gods to protect the Canopic jars where you'll store the plastic organs found inside the body--both lungs in a single jar, please! Find the hidden drawer containing the gauze wrappings, headdress, scarabs, and a cardboard cat you can mummify to accompany your Pharaoh in the afterlife. Wrap your mummy from head to toe, place lucky amulets in the gauze, and bury it in the back yard (soak the gauze in brine first for a more realistic mummy experience). Don't forget to seal the tomb with your "Curse of the Mummy" sticker ... and to warn your parents, so when they rent the expensive tiller to dig up the garden, they don't break the blades on your ultracool mummy.
This kit introduces curious kids to the mummies of many different cultures, such as those of ancient Egypt and South America, and to all the types of mummies, including shrunken heads, bog mummies, and ice mummies. Slightly creepy good fun.
