Rosencrucian Egyptian Museum

A wonderful place to visit. Leading from the street you are greeted by a hippopotomus foutain. Once inside the place is magnificent, on the east wing, they have early kingdom artifacts and wall tablets (my favorite), leading from the babloyian and mesopotamian empire to early dynastic egypt. The pieces are brilliantly preserved and the wall sculptures/ texts are great! Leading around, they have samples to mid-dynastic kingdoms and everyday use. From knives and swords to pottery and jewlery. Each feature has a detailed explaination, they answers your questions thouroughly. Coming down into the west wing are the hall of mummies! Each one perfectly preserved, it leaves you awe struck, how these people could send us messages from so long ago.

Them my favorite part came, the recreated tomb! They recreated an opened tomb down to the last details! From sounds you would hear to stagnate air and smells, the walls with hand-drawn pictures down to a pit with an opened cartouqe! It was a great expereince worthy of a second go around! At a low admission price, don't wait go now! If you even have a slight interest in Egyptology you wont be disappointed

Sorry but due to the no camera rule, I wasn't able to get any inside photos

Traveler Tip# 34: Always check to see if the institute you're visiting gives a discount for student's or seniors. It's a nice way to save money for the extra munchies on the way home.
