Ancient Egypt

In tombs there are valuable treasures. There are mummies, gold, silver, and lots more. Tomb robbers try to steal the valuble treasures in the tombs.  People made hidden tombs, fake passagways, false entrances, and guards to keep the treasure safe but tomb robbers found them all.

Tomb robbers steal as much as their bags can carry. Some get and get beaten or killed. But that never stopped anyone. But one thing they could not steal in each tomb was a wall painting.

The wall painting had servants on it. The Egyptians believed that in the afterlife, they would come to life and get to work. There were players on the walls, too. The Egyptians believed that in the afterlife they would come to life and play for the dead man. Tomb robbers, I am sure, are very disappointed that they can't steal it. Wall paintings must be beautiful. Wall paintings probably have hundreds of servants and players.
