FACTS!!

People enjoy eating cookies, some even on a daily basis, but have you ever wondered just who came up with the first cookie recipe? The first cookies in history were nothing more than miniature cakes used to test oven temperatures before the baker cooked the final cake. These miniature cakes were called "koekje" which means little cookie in Dutch. As time went by "koekje" morphed into the word we recognize today as cookie! cool aye?

LUNER ECLIPSE

There are two parts to the Earth's shadow, the penumbra, and the umbra. The penumbra is the outer part of the shadow where sunlight is not completely blocked. The penumbral shadow only dims the Moon every so slightly, in fact unless you are in very dark skies, you may not notice this part of the eclipse at all. The umbra is the actual shadow created by the Earth. You will notice the Moon getting darker from the left side first. During the time when the entire Moon is in the umbra, it is said to be in totality.
Many people are surprised that the eclipsed moon is reddish but there is a reason. Some of the sunlight passes through the Earth's atmosphere and is bent around behind the Earth and towards the moon. The shorter wavelengths of light is scattered and only the longer orange and red wavelengths reach the moon. It is usually just enough light to cast a coppery red hue on the Moon.
There are times however, such as when there have been volcanic eruptions on the Earth, that the light is so scattered that almost no light reaches the moon and it may be so dark as to be not seen at all.
When the Moon is in totality, you will notice that the whole sky gets darker. You may not have realized just how bright a full moon is until it gets blocked out in an eclipse! Notice too that before the Moon started getting darker you could probably only see a few of the brightest stars in the sky, but during totality, you will see many more stars when they are not obscured by the Moon's light.
Totality can last for over an hour and a half and then gradually, the Moon will reappear, first a tiny sliver and soon as the full Moon it had been.

SUCCESS!

MUMMIES

In ancient eegypt, mummification was a very long and expensive process. It took about 70 days to embalm a body from start to finish. because the Egyptians believed that mummification was essential for passage to the afterlife, people were mummified and buried as well as they could possibly afford. High-ranking officials, priests and other nobles who had served the pharaoh and his queen had fairly elaborate burials. The pharaohs, who were believed to become gods when they died, had the most magnificent burials of all. In the case of a royal or noble burial, the embalmers set up workshops near the tomb of the mummy.

Example of Hieroglyphics. [[the egyptian alphabet]]

ANCIENT EGYPT

Egypt is a long standing civilisation in north east africa. they hold WHS including great pyramids, the sphinx.They also hold very treasured monuments such as King Tut's tomb [ a famous pharoah of egypt] and many more tombs. They are the creators of mummies.

They write in a form of lauguage called "heiroglyphics" It was little pictures each resembling a letter of the alphabet. hieroglyphs could be written left to right, right to left, up to down, down to up. it was written on a thing called papyrus. It was a type of paper [this is where the word paper comes from] made of rice.

A mummy is the body of a person (or an animal) that has been preserved after death. Normally when we die, bacteria and other germs eat away at the soft tissues (such as skin and muscles) leaving only the bones behind. Since bacteria need water in order to grow, mummification usually happens if the body dries out quickly after death. The body may then be so well preserved that we can even tell how the dead person may have looked in life.
Mummies are made naturally or by embalming, which is any process that people use to help preserve a dead body. Mummies can be dried out by extreme cold, by the sun, by smoke, or using chemicals such as natron. Some bodies become mummies because there were favorable natural conditions when they died. Others were preserved and buried with great care.
The ancient Egyptians believed that mummifying a person's body after death was essential to ensure a safe passage to the afterlife.
