Day tour to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC). This new museum was opened in 2019 in Al-Fustat (Old Cairo) and boasts a state-of-the-art display of 22 ROYAL MUMMIES which were moved from the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities to the new museum in a fantastic procession through the streets. The NMEC spans Egyptian history from the dawn of Pre-historic times right up to the modern era. Nice to see beyond the Dynastic Period of the pharaohs to which most of us are familiar when thinking about Egyptian history. Besides the royal mummies, HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: Black granite sculpture of Thutmose III, Sandstone sculpture of Pharaoh Akhenaten, funerary masks of Sennedjem&wife and daughter-in-law, relief sculpture of Ramesses III, and, of course, the tremendous walk-through display showcasing the royal mummies removed from their coffins and under protective glass in full view. Incredible to see real hair, nails, and teeth on these mummies and realizing they are all thousands of years old! Music: &Kevin MacLeod (YouTube Audio library) Royalty-Free
