In Egypt, a decreased person was not buried immediately.

The preparations for a funeral took a long time, especially for the Paraoh, the great nobles and the haves (wealthy class). It should be remembered that mummification, the decorated coffins, the painted and sculptured tombs belonged to the wealthy class. The poor people as the peasants, share-croppers and manual workers were buried in the sand with a few pots of food and drink beside them. Sometimes, their bodies were thrown away either on the desert or into the river. It is, however, not certain, that the poor people did not have the right for a future life. Originally the funeral ceremonies belonged only to the Paraoh. The great nobles did the same things when the religion underwent a kind of democratisation. After that people began to bury the dead with the modifications due to their limited means. Finally, every person could build tomb and bury the dead with the rites of Osiris as long as the family could afford. Mummification was introduced when Egypt began to worship the sun, use stones for large buildings, make pyramids for kings and great nobles. It is uncertain where those customs came from. They appeared suddenly with no gradual development. Only after their first appearance, burial customs underwent development. 1. What is the topic of the first paragraph? a. The funeral ceremony b.

Algae is a primitive form of life, a single-celled or simple multiple-celled organism that is able to conduct the process of photosynthesis. It is generally found in water but can also be found elsewhere, growing on such

surfaces as rocks or trees. The various types of algae are classified according to pigment. Blue-green algae, or Cyanophyta, can grow at very high temperatures and under highintensity light. This is a microscopic type of algae and some species consists of only one cell. Blue-green algae is the oldest form of life with photosynthetic capabilities, and fossilized remains of this type of algae more than 3,4 billion years old have been found in parts of Africa. Green algae , or Chlorophyta, is generally found in fresh water. It reproduces on the surfaces of enclosed bodies of water such as ponds or lakes and has the appearance of a fuzzy great and floating on the water. In large quantities, this type of algae may reproduce enough to give a green color to an entire lake. Brown algae, or Phaeophyta, grows in shallow, temperate water. This type of algae is the largest in size and is most recognizable as a type of seaweed; kelp is a type of brown algae that has grown to lengths of up to 200 feet. Its long stalks can be enmeshed on the ocean floor; or it can float freely on the oceans surface. Red algae, or Rhodophyta is a small, delicate organism found ill the deep waters of the subtropics, where it often grows with coral.
