Egypt Museum

The old museum, located at Tahrir Square (see another post). The new museum is still in construction, but you may have seen the news about the celebration/parade of mummies from the old to the new. Unfortunately, I missed that by a week.
The 1st picture is of a couple death masks from about 3500 years ago. 2nd is a racing chariot. 3rd is a look over the main hall of the museum. You can see statues, sarcophagi, and more. 4th is a pyramidal capstone with engravings. 5th is a detail of some hieroglyphics. Last is a traditional couch, looking from the head towards the footboard.Read more
