Fire Mummies of the Philippines

Perhaps the best podcast yet! Rebecca has volunteered to speak with us about the Fire Mummies of the Philippines.
Grade Six students watched an intriguing National Geographic video about mummies found in the hot, humid climate of the Philippines. Rebecca reminds us on where they were found, which cultural groups were involved, and how they mummified their relatives. A great listen!

Very interesting stuff! Your share makes me want to watch that documentary. Rebecca, great job! You have a great speaking voice and you sound very professional in your presentation. Any interest in broadcast journalism for your future?
Hey, this podcast is really interesting because instead of reading about the fire mummies in our textbooks you can listen to Rebecca talking about it. It is awesome!!!
Wow! Interesting. I didn’t knew that there was a mummies in Philippines. I didn’t know that we have to dry the bones for 6 months too. You sure gave me lots of information!
Mummies in the Philipines. I’ll be there next summer!!! but tattoos?Are you sure you didn’t just find the remains of a biker gang?
Wow! I never knew there were mummies in the Philipines. I was really surprised to learn that. That was some interesting information.
Woh, I never thought there would be mummies in the Philipines and this picture proved it. Also I think it was sort of cool of how they marked there rankings with tatoos. This video would be a good source of info for people who are interested in mummies. But was there actually a curse if you removed the mummies from the cave or is it just something the tribe believed in?
Wow I didn’t konw that there were mummies in the philippens! I really liked how you used a clear voice and I really liked how you explained a lot about what they do to the mummy and all the steps that they use! I really liked your preasentation!
Cool! I DID think that mumies were only in egypt. I hope I get to see them when I’m in 6th grade.
I thought there was only mummies in Egypt! I guess I was wrong and I think it is quite cool!
