<h1>🧻 Mummies: Wrapped for the Ages</h1>
<h2>Week 4 • Wednesday • How Egyptians Prepared for the Afterlife</h2>
<section class="lesson-section">
<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>Ancient Egyptians believed that life continued after death in a place they called the <strong>afterlife</strong>. To get there, they believed a person's body needed to be kept safe. So they turned bodies into <strong>mummies</strong> — bodies dried and wrapped so they would last for thousands of years.</p>
<p>Making a mummy took about 70 days! Special workers washed the body and covered it with a salty powder called <strong>natron</strong> to dry it out. Then they wrapped it in hundreds of meters of linen cloth strips, tucking in lucky charms called <strong>amulets</strong> between the layers.</p>
<p>The mummy was placed in a decorated case called a <strong>sarcophagus</strong>. Egyptians even made mummies of cats, crocodiles, and birds! Thanks to mummies, scientists today can learn what ancient Egyptians ate, what sicknesses they had, and even how old they were.</p>

<h3>🔍 Hands-On: Wrap a Mummy</h3>
<div class="activity-box">
<p style="margin-bottom:2px;"><strong>You need:</strong> a doll or action figure and a roll of toilet paper or cloth strips.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:2px;">Carefully wrap your 'mummy' from head to toe, just like Egyptian workers did. Tuck a small 'amulet' (a bead or button) between the layers for good luck. How many wraps did it take?</p>
