Sarcophagus project

The first colom is my name, and the rest it the 6 things that I enjoy.

For my symboles I used a tennis wraket, because I love tennis, and I also put waves, because I love to swim, and I also love the ocean. I pun on a Nike symbol, on my sarcophagus because I love to run/ hike, I put on a pair of skis, because I love to ski, and I put on a road, because I love road bikeing. 
I put a door, so that I could get out if I needed to. I put on a 4 leaft colver, to represent luck and a modern day beetle. Also so that I would have good luck in the after life. I also put on the eye of Horas, so that I can see. I put neclaces on and also colord my sarcophagus gold to represent that I was rich, and a good pharoh. Also so that I could bring my welth and power on to the after life. My name is in the middle of my sarcophagus, and it represents who I am. 
I used the colors gold and blue the most, because they are colors of royalty. 
I put all of this stuff on my sarcophagus, because it has the things that I like to do, and symboles that will help me in the afterlife. I think that it is important that I put the things that I like to do on there, so that I will still have them, and still be good at them in the afterlife. I also put all of the symboles on there, so that I would have good luck and important things that will help me on my way to the after life. 

The Egyptians were not scared of dieing. They thought of dieing as a new begining, and going to the after life was where that new begining began. They burried the pharaohs, and other important people with most of the stuff that was clossest to them when they were alive. So they would burry them with their gold, pets, slaves, and many other things, so that when they got to the after life, every thing would be the same, as when they left life. They drew and painted symboles on them to wish them luck and to serve them in the after life. They would put symboles of games and sports and just a bunch of things that they liked to do. They got this idea of going to the after life from their religion, and also from the thought of not living. I think that they did this, because they liked to belive that your life doen't just end one day, and that hopefully the people that you love will go to a good place. I think that they couldn't get over the fact of daeth, so they turned it in to a happy thing.
