A Monumental Task
For this activity you will design and build your own pyramid, celebrating your life. Print the template below on to heavy, card-stock paper. Before cutting and folding, use the pyramid's four walls to make a statement about your life. As you design your pyramid think about your successes and how you want to be remembered by future generations. In the Egyptian way, there are some things that you want to include in your pyramid design. On the four walls of your pyramid, reserve one wall for a poem that celebrates your life. On another wall include a tomb painting. For the other two walls, consider decorating your pyramid with Egyptian symbols, pictures of things you would want to take with you to the afterlife, or shabtis to do your work for you in the afterlife.
