In ancient Egypt, near the great pyramids, a young boy named Khepri was thinking about the upcoming festival.
Khepri learned about mummies and pharaohs in scribe school and wondered what they would think of the celebrations.
He decided to make little mummy dolls from linen and gift them to his friends during the festival.
Every doll was unique. He painted cheerful faces and wrapped them with care, humming festive tunes.
At the festival, Khepri shared his dolls. His friends smiled, imagining the mummies celebrating with them.
Together, they enjoyed the feast and played games, feeling the joy of the ancient spirits around them.
