The ancient Egyptian sarcophagi included illustrations depicting animals, religious proceedings and funerals that are painted on both sides of the coffin. A gold funerary mask was placed over his head and shoulders to cover the mummified body and made in his royal likeness. The Pedi-Osiris coffin contains expensive materials, such as blue paint made with azure, which is used to paint for the coffin’s head and wig, and black paint on the carved eyes is used to emphasize the high standing of the priest and the fake beard is the mark of the social figurine of high rank.

A People’s History of the United States: Reflection Chapter 17 “Or Does It Explode?” Zinn makes it very clear that the focus of this chapter is on movements, protests, and attempts made by African Americans in the 1950s to gain equality.
