GEM - The Grand Egyptian Museum

The museum is indeed the Gem of Egypt, and Grand doesn't even start to describe this beautiful building or the amazing artifacts that it contains. One cannot fully appreciate the museum in one short visit but even a short visit leaves you in awe.

I've only included a picture of the funerary Mask of Tutankhamun because I don't even know where to start with all the pictures I took today.Read more

TravelerThe Pharoah's wore these beards in public and were made of human hair an were held on with a strap. You will see two styles, straight and curved at the end like this on. Straight beards are worn in the first life and if you see a statue with a straight beard it is depicting the Pharoah when he is alive. The curved beard shows the Pharoah in the afterlife.
