Tomb+Artifacts

=__**tomb artifact**s This page by: Taylor V.__= The artifacts in tombs are not just pretty pictures and shiny gold. They are clues to how Egyptions lived and what they liked to do. In this page I will tell you and show you what they find in the tombs.

The Egyptians thought that burying the pharoahs with gold and all their possessions would make it easier to get to the afterlife. They would bury two boats(one for the morning, and one for the night.) in the pyramid for the pharoahs spirit to use through the Great Nile River. The nile river was supposedly the gateway to the afterlife.
