Fashion
Martu: Juana, what material do you use to make you clothes?
Juani: I make them with a plant called flax.
Cata: Martina, what make up do you wear?
Martu: I wear grey paint called Kohl in my eyes and red in my lips.
Juani: Cata, what material do you use to make your jewels?
Cata: I make them with gold, silver and pottery.
Martu: Juana, what are you wearing today?
Juana: I'm wearing sandals, a dress, a bracelet and braids.
Martu: Mmm. You smell so well. What did you use to make your perfume?
Juana: I used a flower.
Cata: Only a flower?
Martu: No, a flower and oil.
Mummification
Martu: Juana, what is the mummification process?
Juana: Mummification happens when an important person dies. First, there is a ceremony conducted by four priests.
Cata, what do they do after that?
Cata: After that, the organs are taken from the body and they are placed in special jars called canopic jars. Natron, a special type of salt, is also added to the body to dry it for 40 days.
Martu: Sometimes the heart is left in the body.
And then?
Juana: The body is wrapped in bandages with jewels and lucky charms.
Cata: And finally, the body is put inside a coffin.
