| The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, known commonly as the Egyptian Museum, in [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط], [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط], is home to an extensive collection of [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] antiquities. It has 120,000 items, with a representative amount on display, the remainder in storerooms. [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]: [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]The museum's Royal Mummy Room, containing 27 royal [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] from pharaonic times, was closed on the orders of President [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] in 1981. It was reopened, with a slightly curtailed display of [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] kings and queens in 1985. Today there are about 9 mummies displayed. One of them is the newly discovered mummy of [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]. History</SPAN>The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities contains many important pieces of ancient Egyptian history. It houses the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities, and many treasures of King Tutankhamen. The Egyptian government established the museum, built in 1835 near the Ezbekeyah Garden. The museum soon moved to Boulaq in 1858 because the original building was getting to be too small to hold all of the artifacts. In 1855, shortly after the artifacts were moved, Duke Maximilian of Austria was given all of the artifacts. He hired a French architect to design and construct a new museum for the antiquities. The new building was to be constructed on the bank of the Nile River in [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]. In 1878, after the museum was completed for some time, it suffered some irreversible damage; a flood of the [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] caused the antiquities to be relocated to another museum, in [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]. The artifacts remained there until 1902 when they were moved, for the last time to the current museum in Tahrir Square. Interior design</SPAN>[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط][ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]Photographs are forbidden inside. However, this picture was taken from outside the main entrance.There are two main floors of the museum, the ground floor and the first floor. On the ground floor there is an extensive collection of papyrus and coins used in the Ancient world. The numerous pieces of papyrus are generally small fragments, due to their decay over the past two millennia. Several languages are found on these pieces, including Greek, Latin, Arabic, and the Ancient Egyptian writing language of hieroglyphs. The coins found on this floor are made of many different elements, including gold, silver, and bronze. The coins are not only Egyptian, but also Greek, Roman, and Islamic, which has helped historians research the history of Ancient Egyptian trade. Also on the ground floor are artifacts from the New Kingdom, the time period between 1550 BC. These artifacts are generally larger than items created in earlier centuries. Those items include statues, tables, and coffins. On the first floor there are artifacts from the final two dynasties of Ancient Egypt, including items from the tombs of the Pharaohs Thutmosis III, Thutmosis IV, Amenophis II, Hatshepsut, and Maherpen, and also many artifacts taken from the [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]King Tutankhamun</SPAN>Unlike many of the tombs discovered in Egypt, that of [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] was found mostly intact. Inside the tomb there was a large collection of artifacts used throughout the King’s life. These artifacts ranged from a decorated chest, which was most likely used as a closet or suitcase, to ivory and gold bracelets, necklaces, and other decorative jewelry, to alabaster vases and flasks. The tomb was also home to many weapons and instruments used by the King. Although the tomb held over 3,500 artifacts, it should be noted that the tomb was not found completely intact. In fact, there had been at least two robberies of the tomb, perhaps soon after Tutankhamun's burial.The most well known artifact in King Tutankhamun’s tomb is the famous Gold Mask, which rested over the bandages that wrapped around the King’s face. The mask weighs in at 11 kg (24.5 pounds) of solid gold, and is believed to represent what the King’s face really looked like. Many features of the mask: the eyes, nose, lips and chin, are all represented very well. Pharaohs</SPAN>The remains of many famous Pharaohs are stored in the Egyptian Museum. One of these is Pharaoh [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط], who was an extremely skilled warrior. For many of the mummified pharaohs, it has been very difficult to determine when they were born. Also, historians can only estimate a time when they reigned over Egypt. For [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط], historians have estimated that he reigned around 1372 B.C. They knew this because they found out when Amenhotep IV's father, [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] died. Also, that Amenhotep IV's tomb inscribed five names he gave himself and one of them, Golden Horus, proves that he was crowned on the bank of the Nile, his father's favorite domain. Before he even became pharaoh, however, he was already married to [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]. When Amenhotep IV did become pharaoh, he destroyed the religion of Amun. He did this because he wanted start his own new religion of Aten, the disc which sent out rays ending in hands. King [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] was believed to be the first king of the Fourth Dynasty. The year Sneferu was believed to have started his reign over Egypt was around 2620 B.C. Sneferu is believed to have been a fair and just king. Master of Justice or Truth was his other chosen name. Sneferu, like many other kings, built many temples and structures. All of Sneferu’s structures and buildings had a signature. His signature was having a statue of a woman symbolizing the foundation. The statue of the young women is presenting the sign of life and votive offerings, as well as the signs of the city and the stronghold. There are about four or five of these in each province. A lot of the pharaohs had coronation names and they all seemed to be alike. For example, Sneferu, Tut, and Amenhotep all had the name "Golden Horus | |
