    Substitute to Tutakhamun
    artifacts - no pictures!

    Tutakhamun discovery was an accident. It was during a research on Ramses tomb, local egyptian were ask the keep digging and digging hoping to find more artifacts of Ramses end up falling into a hole, an undiscover tomb.

    Egyptologist knew is was the Tutankhamun they have looking for, it was cleverly hidden and well kept tomb, just to avoid being discover. It was found as a huge box veneered everything gold.

    Though Tutakhamun a boy king only ruled the kingdom for nine years, the egyptian believe if that he will continue rule the kingdom more succesful during afterlife world as he was still young therefore they have prepared him a grand mummification event and everything seems to be gold and opulent.

    Its definitely a MUST visit to Tutakhamun Gallery, and you will never forget the experience!!!

  • It goes without saying that this is a must. I have a link to their website to give some idea of the vast collection housed here.

    The Egyptian Museum is home to over 120,000 artifacts. These artifacts contain many ancient Egyptian objects that have been recovered from archeolical digs are the country as well as from the pyramids. The museum also has a large collection of Jewelry, Sculptures, mummies, and has an extensive King Tut exhibit.

    The museum provides for a great history lesson about the different Pharoahs that ruled ancient Egypt. Tour are given in many languages and the placards are in English. There is a gift shop as well as a small restaurant. The grounds are covered with toruist police to ensure the safety of the museum visitors.

    Egyptian Museum, Taken off the
    Internet
    by freya_heaven

    The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities is a wonderful place. There are so many exhibits in here to see, over 100,000 artifacts. It is impossible to take more than a fraction of it in. The area which sticks in my mind most is the Mummy room. It was quite surreal to be looking at bodys of people milleniums old.


    The night after we had been to The Egyptian Museum..............................

    It was the middle of the night and I was suddenly awoken by Helen, in the next bed to me screaming. Her bed was shrouded in her mosquito net hanging from the ceiling. I could just make out her outline as she was sat bolt up right staring straight ahead, screaming at the top of her voice.

    I had no Idea what was going on, so I joined in and started screaming too, partly (well mostly) out of fright and I also thought if there was anyone in the room they would certainly flee.
    The sound of my screaming startled her & she awoke to ask me what I was screaming at!! ....................I turned out she had nightmares of Mummys as a child & visiting the Egyptian Museum had brought it all back & she had had another nightmare.

    T'was Very amusing

  • The Mask - Cairo
    The Mask

    It is FORBBIDEN to use camera in the room with Tutankamon's gold things. Even if you paid to take camera into Museum. This picture of the most famous mask in the World was taken with mobile phone but you have to have someone to cover you so the guards won't see you.

    The Egyptian museum is a definite ?must see?. It is not that big and you can see it in a morning but if you really want to experience it properly you probably could do with a day there. The queue can be fairly long to buy your tickets but it doesn?t take that much time and once you are inside you are straight in. As you walk in there is a large hall, King Tutankhamun?s treasures can be found upstairs and to the left and the Mummies room is to the right and on a mezzanine level if I remember correctly.

    I have added some more pictures to my travelogue.

    There is no extra charge to enter the room but it can get very crowded in there. The sarcophagus’s and the mask are just amazing to see.

    This picture is not actualy taken in the mummies room since no cameras are allowed inside. You have to see the mummies room. There is an additional entrance fee of LE40 but it has to be done. There were about 10 mummies int he room and it was fascinating to see, not at all gruesome. (there are toilets close by as a matter of interest!)
