National Museum Egyptian Civilisation NMEC (E6/25)

Knowing that we won't be able to see the famous King Tut's golden mask, we skipped Cairo Museum and go to National Museum of Egypt Civilisation (NMEC) instead.
There are several different design printed on the entrance tickets. I have no idea how many designs are there in total.
We are early so as others. Que are already formed when we arrived.
Among the visitors, there are many school children.
Life like replica at the entrance of the museum.
We head straight to the high lights of our visit - the mummies. No photograph allowed at this section, not even with phone. You will be ask to delete them if you do and the officer on duty ensure that.
Since no photo of the mummies allowed at the display, the next best thing is to take them when they are display on the giant screen if you are interested.
The process of mummification for those who wants to know more about why and how.
Amazingly after more than 3000 years, they are still well preserved.
No exception for ancient egyptian ladies, they also wants to look good and neat. They already have so many different designs of hair pin to help them looks neat and beautiful.

Bread is an important staple food since ancient egypt. 
In ancient world, one often showcase their ability to capture their enemy. 

We spend about 3 hours in the museum. You probably will need about 2 to 3 hours if you intend to cover all the display in the museum.
