The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt
The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt The museum's main entrance. For many people, The Egyptian Museum in Cairo is the Holy Grail of museums. Over 150,000 relics from ancient Egypt are packed into this scruffy, salmon-colored giant, including some of the most precious artifacts known to man. To put the enormity of the museum's collection into perspective, consider this: if you spent one minute looking at each piece, you'd be there around-the-clock for nine months. I don’t have nine months to spare, but I did manage to spend two days exploring the museum. Here are the things I admired most: Granite statue of Chephren , builder of the second pyramid at Giza. Falcon god Horus provides protection (and a little love). This beauty is a whopping 4,500 years old. Wooden statue of Ka-Aper. Also around 4,500 years old, this statue is carved out of a single piece of sycamore. He's kind of an intense fellow. Museum patrons . It's fun to check
