To Infinity and Beyond Cairo,Egypt

Dear Egypt,

I was a complete strangers with you when we first met. But after 2 months now I can say that you are beautiful in all your ways. You hold abundance of histories, cultures and mysteries.

During our Stay, We have visited most of the must haves in Cairo and near by areas and leave some due suspected Security Warnings 😦  If you are visiting Cairo, you can use these Posts.

Enjoy the Pics and Videos from my stay.

Living Deads at Museum of Egyptian Antiquities

Hey Folks,

So Finally I have met with the members of royal family from the valley of kings or rather seen the royal mummies discovered from valley of kings.

They are outstanding to say the least considering them to be thousands of year old still in good shape with teeth, nails and hairs intact after the mummification since 1330 BC.

We went to the Egyptian Museum  of Cairo where their is mummy of King Tutankhamun who arguably been the most famous king and holds enormous treasures in his tomb i.e. 110kgs of casket along with 11kg mask and 128 amulets, jewels and racing chariots. All of  which was made of (drumroll please . . .) You guessed it: solid gold.

Photography is prohibited in the museum , but I sneaked in some. You can check them out.

Sacred Scarab beetles You can find live scarabs crawling around pretty much anywhere in Egypt. The beetle symbolizes creation, life and even rebirth. You must have seen them in Mummy returns 🙂

The Process to Create mummy is called Mummification which includes steps like removing organs from inside, Dry the body for 40 days, fill the body with Raisins and finally wrapping in cotton sheets. Quiet a task…no???
