2/7

Today in West Civ. class we reviewed for the upcoming test tomorrow that is apparently going to be hard. We went over the uses of the Nile River, Upper and Lower Egypt, mummification,and some religious beliefs of the Egyptians. Also someone brought in example of how the Egyptians used to paint the hieroglyphics and what the paper felt like. We also learned some things about what the Egyptians thought happened after you died. When you died you had to get your heart weighed, and the heavier it was the greater chance you had of being sent to the afterlife paradise instead into the jaws of a monster.  The reason you wanted your heart to be heavy is because it was believed that the more good deeds you did, the heavier your heart became.
