The Treasures Within is to show what items the kings took to the afterlife with them as well as the pyramids themselves. The Pharaohs took necklaces made of solid gold to statues of their gods to help them alone the way to their afterlife. Pyramids were on the dead side of the Nile River to show that everyone on that side was dead and the pyramid was meant to keep the mummy of the Pharaoh safe from any grave robber that tried to break into the final resting place of a once great ruler. The Pharaohs were incased in a several layer sarcophagus with the final layer which is shown on the poster made of gold with magnificent detail in the writing and drawing on the final layer before the mummy itself. The background is the Great Pyramid of Giza to show the greatness of what the Pharaohs were kept in. Each stone block was 2 to 15 tons and the base was almost a perfect square. The construction of these great building still to this day cannot be figured out with the level of technology back during this time period. My poster is meant to show how complex the transition to the afterlife was for the Pharaohs because they needed to take everything they would use in the afterlife that they used in the life they were leaving.
