Today we finish work on the pyramid, we paint the outside and cover the walls inside with prints of the tomb murals. We also paint a background and scatter sand to place the pyramid on. Now you can put in the sarcophagus and all the grave treasures.
How to paint the outside of the pyramid
Mix the 3 colours paint into a light sand colour.
Paint top and bottom of the pyramid, let dry well.
So you can put the two halves on top of each other.

Cut the print the size of the lower half of the pyramid.
Fold the printed mural to fit the lower half of the pyramid.
Stick the murals onto the walls inside the pyramid.

How to paint the background
Cut out the front side with 2 sides attached from the box.
Mix a soft sky blue colour from white and blue paint.

Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb in our pyramid is full, we made many treasures. But it is all fantasy. The reality is very different, because King Toetanchamon is not buried in a pyramid. The tomb of this youngest Pharaoh of Egypt is in fact found in a hill in the Valley of the Kings.
His tomb actually consists of 4 small spaces but first there is a long stair way down. Then you will come into the ante chamber in which two Ka statues stood in front of a wall, it turned out they guarded the actual grave chamber, behind the wall. The ante chamber was filled with utensils that were thought the king would need on his journey to the afterlife. There were also packages of food and wine.
The grave room is the room in which the stone sarcophagus is located, which is almost full with only the sarcophagus in the middle. Then there is the side room of the grave room, a room with treasures like big golden chests, the Anubis shrine and other valuables. And a space that borders the ante chamber. A total of 3,500 items have been found, which can now be seen in the Cairo Museum.
You can see everything about Farao Toetanchamon on youtube. We have already downloaded a video for you. Maybe the video's inspire you to make even more treasure!
