This research was developed within the scope of works by Research Group (CNPq) ARISE - Interactive Archeology and Electronic Simulations and aims to detail the material representations of the funeral world (mummification, burials, and other factors), as well as the impact of dialogue between developers, historians / archaeologists and the general public
