The Ka.
Covered in the wrappings of their time,
They lie in their final resting place;
Permanently asleep, lying in their cartonnage beds.
Covered in blankets of white papyrus and linen -
Spiritually and physically prepared for a smooth entry into the afterlife.

The Ba.
Buried with their personal possessions that best represent them,
They take part of who they were into the next life -
The outside of their tombs painted intricately,
The story of their lives put on display for the world to see,
The stories of unearthed Ancient Egypt,
Bringing past lives into present time.

The Akh.
Disturbing their resting place comes with consequences,
The Pharaoh’s Curse.
Cast upon those who disturb the rest of past Egyptians,
The curse does not differentiate among people,
It brings bad luck, illness, and death,
Wrapped up unless disturbed.
