Movie:The mummy Reality:__**The book of the dead**__

It put spells on mummies to help them threw the after life. Also to be reborn something new. And to live threw the nights as a spirit.

__**The book of the living**__

The book of the living was made up in the movie. There is actually no real book of the living in Egyptian history.

Egyptian Transportation: (Mike H, Danny, Richard)
Movie: Movie: Reality:Egyptian transportation.

Camels are the number one transportation in Egypt. That is so because camels can go with out food or water for several days. They don't stop unless they are out of water of food.The camels humps are fatty tissue so that energy is stored when the camels stomach is empty. Energy can be stored in the hump. The water is stored in the camels blood stream. It can lose fourty percent of its body weight before becoming distressed.The camel developed in north america. When the camel is distressed it will spit out stomach content. The camel is actually a friendly animal. They are hardworking animals that are a great transportation in the middle east.



Egyptian Magi (Mike H, Danny, Richard)

Conclusions:

Imhotep and Anak-su-namun: (Jeremy, Jacob S, Jacob M.)
Movie: In the movie Imhotep was a high priest who had an affair with the pharohs wife. As a punishment he he was mummified alive. When the main characters in the movie were reading the book of the dead the cast a spell that made him rise from the dead with emense magical power.

Reality: He is known as the first engineer, architect, and physician in history known by name. Imhotep was one of very few mortals to be depicted as part of a pharaoh's statue. It is argued that Imhotep should be credited as the father of modern medicine.

Conclusions: Imhotep was a very popular man who did a lot of important things. I think to cast his character as a diabolical villain bent on world destruction gives no credit to the great man he was in life.
