The Mummy's Curse - Session 3 - Reading Comprehension answers
English Resource Description
In session 3 of "The Mummy's Curse" reading comprehension, students explore various aspects of ancient Egyptian culture and the adventures of the characters. A shabti is identified as a servant figure placed in a Pharaoh's tomb for service in the afterlife. It took 20 years to decipher the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone. The shabti in question is heavy due to its solid gold composition. Aidan refers to Arthur John Priest as 'one-eyed' because he has only one real eye, with the other being replaced by a gold watch. Chronos is described as a brass bird that possesses special powers. Luna refrains from expressing her disagreement with her aunt about the location of artefacts in the British Museum out of politeness and because the timing is not right, as everyone's attention is on Professor Lorenz. An adult must accompany Luna, Konstantin, and Aidan to the Valley of the Kings to avoid suspicion, as children were not typically present in that area without adult supervision.
The session's summary, within the 50-word limit, might read: Students answer questions about "The Mummy's Curse," learning about shabtis, the Rosetta Stone's translation, and character interactions. They discuss why Luna avoids debate with her aunt and why an adult's presence is necessary for the children's Valley of the Kings visit.
