A Brief History of Ancient Religions

Last Monday we learned about the ancient religions of people in Egypt, Sumer, and Persia. The assignment was to write about or draw the tomb they would be buried in if they were an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. Here are the results of the tombs they drew, we have some great artists in class!
