egyptian museum cairo

The Egyptian Museum is called the symbol of faith for the Egyptians. The actual name for the museum is called The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities and it is located in Cairo, Egypt. The stories of Egypt are spread across seven thousand years. It is considered to be a treasure for the country of Egypt. The design of the grand museum was a consequence of an international competition. This competition was held by the UNESCO. The architecture of the museum is very complex. It offers its visitors a worthwhile time. The museum provides enchanting cultural, pleasurable and educational time.

The museum will help Egypt become a heart of the history and be a part of the Egyptology. The aim of the museum is to take hold of the diversity of the heritage that Egypt holds. The museum creates a great experience for the tourists by helping them connect the history to the present. It has one of the best antiquities artifacts collections.

This is one place that would always help you discover new things. The ground floor gives a vivid history of Ancient Egypt. There are good security checks while entering the building. Every time a new object is displayed as the best object of the month. It also has very imperative items that belong to the Egypt and are more than five thousand years old. There are some other masterpieces that belong to the fiftieth century and hence should not be missed. It also has some Old Kingdom’s small statues that have families and shows people working. If you move clockwise, it takes you to an area that would take you to the future.

In the far end of the museum, one can find material from the “heretic” pharaoh, also known as Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV). Tourists who have genuine interests in knowing the Egypt culture must not miss this site.
