Students from Year 7 English/ Humanities Excellence and Platinum Excellence visited the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology in Caboolture this term. Students took part in an excavation of an Egyptian funerary site and had some fun mummifying a classmate following the same procedures prescribed by Greek historian, Herodotus.
Year 7 student Andrew said his favourite part of the excursion was digging up the remains of a tomb raider and learning about the mummification process. “It was fascinating to learn about the Gods who looked after each organ once they were removed from the body," he said. When describing the overall experience, Andrew quipped, “I really dug it!"
