Egyptian Museum


Egyptian Museum

I showed up just past 0900, along with all other tour groups in Egypt. Holy cow. The museum was more crowded than the metro train. They were all in massive tour groups that hogged all the exhibits. It didn't matter to me so much, because the museum actually SUCKED. There were no informative signs or placards, so it was like walking around in a big warehouse. I didn't learn anything.
I did get to see the mummies, all dried up and three thousand years old, and the golden "head piece" they found on King Tut's mummy.
The museum collection is huge, but it didn't mean anything to me. Oh well.
