We visited a museum in Shawnee that had a real Egyptian mummy and lots of other artifacts. It was neat to see it in person. The mummy was a woman in her 40s. I was amazed at how small she was. I also thought it was neat to see the little worker statues that were made and buried with the common people. Apparently the common people believed that after death they too would awaken in an everlasting Egypt. But they were worried that the Pharaohs would call them to work as they did in life. So they made little statues to answer the call to work for Pharaoh.
