November is often referred to as the month of the dead. In ancient Egypt, a person’s passage from life to death was marked with rituals, one of which consisted in making a sarcophagus that would help preserve the deceased’s body in the beyond. Using a bottle of dishwashing liquid, secondary 2 students can make a sarcophagus of their own.
