Egyptian Book of the Dead: Two Excellent Clips

Here are two excellent clips about the Egyptian Book of the Dead,  a book written mostly in hieroglyphics with vignettes and stories about the deceased and their journey into the afterlife.

And here is a short activity students can complete after the videos. It includes some of the entries in the Book of the Dead and asks students to create categories for the entries.

One of the clips comes from TedEd.


The second clip comes from the World History Encyclopedia.

This is great information. I wish I had it when I was on my Egyptian unit. I will be saving it for next school year. Can't wait to read more.
