Your Third Task

An Egyptian Priest Ahlan wa Sahlan my friends!

I hear you have done well in the first two tasks.  I am here to test both your problem solving skills and physical adeptness.  We're going to make a mummy.

As we are lacking in a dead body (any volunteers?!) we're going to use a piece of fruit.  This task will be your most challenging, so be prepared! Here's what you need to do:

  1. The first two websites below describe different ways of mummifying fruit.  The other websites give general information on the mummifying process.  First things first, you're going to need to read some of them!
  2. Using the websites devise a plan for mummifying a piece of fruit.  This must be completed within 72hours!  It must include a complete list of 'ingredients' and instructions.
  3. The ingredients on your list will be provided for you at a designated time next week.  You will then mummify your fruit.
  4. When the process is complete, you will evaluate your work and share your discoveries with my other hostages.

 

Here are some sites to help you...

Once you have been awarded your third key, you may proceed to the next and final step - task 4.  Ma'a salaema!
