Egypt Movies


Our class studied the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians.  One thing we learned was that they thought they would go to paradise after death, but only after their soul traveled through the dangerous underworld and had their heart weighed to find out if they'd been good.  After learning all of this, each student wrote a story about this journey and then turned a section of that story into a movie.  It was tons of work but we all really enjoyed doing it.  Our movies about the journey to the afterlife are finally here!
