Among the few major archaeological museums in the world, the Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo is a must-see for all lovers of history, professional or amateur. Housing more than 120,000 items from the vast collection of antiquities from Ancient Egypt, this place opens one’s eyes to a lot of its history and cultural heritage that one would hardly have heard about in other civilizations of such antiquity. It also holds an impressive array of items, from intricate jewelry and pottery to monumental statues, including the so-called treasures of Tutankhamun.
Inarguably, what makes the Egyptian Museum most enthralling is its unparalleled assortment of royal mummies and objects from the grave of Tutankhamun. It houses the treasures of the young pharaoh, including his gold mask, ritualistic tools, and ornamental jewelry, which all point to the affluence and skillful workmanship of the ancient Egyptians. In this museum, there is also a hall for royal mummies, where visitors can see the ingenious way people in ancient Egypt preserved their dead rulers. Every display represents a story and brings to life the beliefs and activities of a civilization that once flourished a thousand years ago.
