For my historical artifact, I chose to do an Ancient Egyptian book of the dead. I chose this artifact to learn more about the book of the dead and to convey my interest in ancient Egypt. My approach to begin the “papyrus scroll” was to cut out a longer, slimmer strand of paper and proceed to draw on it. I tried to keep the images true to the historical illustrations and match the hieroglyphs to the best of my ability. After I finished drawing and then inking, I soaked the pages into some black tea for a few minutes and then hung them to dry, this process helped to stain the pages to make them look older. I felt applying this final stain was the easiest method to “age” the pages with the materials I had in my own dorm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, I am quite satisfied with the final product. I wish I could’ve aged the pages a little more to make them older and more yellow to appear more like papyrus. I’ve spent approximately a total of 5 hours putting it together, not including the drying time for the pages. Personally, I would evaluate about an 8out of 10 for myself, I feel like more thought could’ve gone into my museum sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
