I enter in silence, the hall of the Egyptian mummies of the Cairo Museum has a dim light and the people who walk by it do not say a word. Everyone knows that we are facing many of the great Egyptian pharaohs and their mere presence imposes the utmost respect.

I see the real Egyptian mummies stretched out in their showcases, what remains of their small inert bodies after the mummification and the passage of almost 4 millennia.

They are the kings, pharaohs of Egypt of the 18th and 19th dynasty mainly, of the New Kingdom.

Real Egyptian mummies like the mythical Hatshepsut, Amenhotep or Amenofis II, Tutmosis II, Tutmosis III, Tutmosis IV, Seti I, Ramses II, etc.

In this mass room, several examples of burials are also shown and the systems used to embalm the bodies are detailed. To see this incomparable collection of sarcophagi and funerary objects from different periods

Also worth visiting is the large room dedicated to the Enlightenment, full of objects, books and curiosities from the 17th and 19th centuries. And the one that hides the most expensive jewels in the world.
