3. Class work/Homework:  Your task is to research and report on the beliefs of death and the afterlife from a culture other than Greek or Roman.  Information is available at the EMCC library link. Of course, information is also available in books and on the Internet. 
(Caution: Wikipedia is a place to start, but it should NOT be one of your sources. Try looking at the various links.)

Create a PowerPoint presentation to: 

Identify the culture (place and time)
Identify the god(s) and/or goddess(es)
