Introduction This paper will analyze and compare the Egyptian Standing Figure of Osiris with Egyptian Mummy Coffin of Pedusiri, visual elements of Ancient and Medieval Art and Architecture works from the collection of the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Some of the information gathered today we still go under today such hunting, trading, and getting tattoos. This piece of mummy art allows us to expand our knowledge on how the human interacted and live thousands of years ago. However, there are still some questions left to be unanswered.

First, they wrap the body in cloths this is called mummification. The cloths used in mummification belonged to the deceased and were their Shentis. A Shenti is a piece of clothing that covered the person from the sun and protects the body. They cherished these and were needed for the afterlife. Second, they would make a stone Sarcophagus much like a coffin.
My research topic is going to be about the symbolism of funerary art among the Etruscan, Egyptian, and Christians and how this played a role towards their views of the afterlife. These different cultures honored and took care of their dead in distinctive ways depending on who the dead were. This status set towards certain dead influenced the type of funerary art that was commonly honored among their culture. Through these cultures’ tombs, pyramids, and catacombs we notice the overall respect towards the dead and the significance of the afterlife.
Mummification was a very important part of the ancient egyptians religion. Mummification is a process in which the skin and flesh of a corpse can be preserved. The reason why the ancient egyptians thought this was so important was because it was supposed to help them get to the afterlife. A man named herodotus visited Egypt in ancient times, he watched the mummification process and wrote the only eye witness account on record. “ In the best treatment, first of all they would take out the brains through the nostrils with an iron hook.

I. Intro: We surveyed most of you, asking what first came to mind about the city of Paris. The most common given responses were: the Eiffel Tower, romance, and light. While these things may be true, there is a darker secret hiding under the “City of Light”; the empire of the dead. We plan to put Paris into your nightmares rather than your dreams with the history of the Catacombs, scary myths and legends about the underground labyrinth, and the extent of its existence today.
An example of Egyptians valuing death/ and afterlife is that they made pyramids for their Pharaohs when they die and mummified them for the after life. In the article, “Tombs” it said, “These monumental pyramids built for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure housed the royal mummies and their worldly effects thought to protect and be used by the kings in their afterlife,” (Staff ). The Egyptians had many beliefs about afterlife. They believed that when you die a part your soul continues on, so they built pyramids to protect the Pharaoh and other royals. They also used mummification to harness their body.
The egyptians had felt that whatever was buried with, in, or around their tomb would be brought with them when they died. Historians can also learn from the paintings on the walls of the Pyramid which describe the deceased person 's life.

According to Zohi Hawass’ article on King Tut’s Family Secrets, mummies lead archaeologists and scholars to contradicting feelings about whether they should be studied or not. Inspecting Tutankhamun’s body, artifacts and two fetuses found in the tomb drove archaeologists to pose questions needing answers. CT scan assisted in determining that Tutankhamun was nineteen years old when dying, had a broken leg, and skull’s hole. Moreover, using DNA analysis displayed Tutankhamun’s clubbed foot, missing toe’s bone, and disease’s pathogen. Both CT scan and DNA analysis helped archaeologists discover Tutankhamun’s complex family relationship and how his family sibling marriage led them to suffer from genetic diseases.

By the end of my speech, 212 underprivileged children around the world would be clenching their stomach and wobbling from garbage dumps to garbage dumps, searching for half- eaten food. 5 children in India would leave school to work in a dilapidated undergarment factory for 14 straight hours, enduring whipping, and pain just for 3 bowls of rice. 3 children in Africa would be dead after being beheaded by heartless invaders. The power to change this situation lies with every one of you present today. Basic necessity such as food, basic education, security are few of many things that underprivileged children lack.
