Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
So, I ended up at the Egyptian Museum lol (out of the blue)
Well, there's not much to say about this part, so for now, let's just take a look at some of the photos that caught my eye.
Right at the very front, right in front of you, there's this huge statue that really catches your eye.
Since I was all by myself and feeling a little lonely, I decided to take a photo with a couple I didn't know at all.
Here it is
It feels great to be a tourist.
Since I'm traveling alone this time, I have a ton of photos like that, lol.
I was like, "Wow, I'm the only single person here surrounded by couples and tour groups..." lol
They're letting people in without permission.
I'd be happy if the person in the photo were a slope engineer, but the chances are slim (I'll take it down if I get in trouble, but since it's overseas, I wonder if anyone will even see it...).
From here on out, I'm just going to start making up names for the statues and mummies on a whim lol
This is, of course, the “Statue of the Lonely Soul” (a name I made up myself).
This is the statue of "Oh no, I did it again."
This is Mummy, the one who says, “Oh no, I think I forgot to lock the door…”
I'm Mummy, and I bleached my hair way too much—now I'm thinking, "I might not be able to go to school tomorrow!" (My hair is super blonde.)
The Origins of Matryoshka Dolls
As a civil engineer, I used 3D scanning to examine the statue.
It's true that people were giving me weird looks, but since I was alone, I just stayed confident lol
We have plenty of stone and wooden coffins!
We're already at the point where we have more than enough to sell.
I was wondering, “Are there really none at all?” but there were tons!!
There were some areas where photography wasn't allowed, but there were things like Tutankhamun's golden mask—and so many other items that made me go, "Wow, this is it!!!"
By the way, the historical background is as follows:
The dates of the artifacts in the collection of the Egyptian Museum (Cairo Museum) are,
It spans a wide range from prehistoric times (around 5000 BCE) to the Roman period (4th century CE).
Major time periods and examples of exhibits:
- Prehistoric Era (around 5000 BCE)
- The oldest pottery and stone tools
- Old Kingdom (2686–2181 BCE)
- Artifacts excavated from the Pyramid of King Khufu; the Stele of King Djoser
- Middle Kingdom Period (2055–1650 BCE)
- Intricately carved objects and jewelry
- New Kingdom (1550–1070 BCE)
- King Tutankhamun's Golden Mask, Statue of Ramses II
- Late Dynastic Period (664–332 BCE)
- Artifacts from the Persian Period: A Priest's Papyrus
- The Ptolemaic Dynasty (332–30 BCE)
- Greek and Egyptian-style statues, Cleopatra coins
- The Roman Period (30 AD–4th century)
- Roman-style mummy portraits, stone monuments
The oldest are prehistoric artifacts dating back about 7,000 years, and the most recent are from the Roman era, about 1,600 years ago.That's what I've heard.
That's amazing, isn't it?
That's what makes Egypt so fascinating.
When you leave the Archaeological Museum, the last stop is the gift shop—I guess even Egyptians like it, lol.
It seems that objects like this didn't exist during the Pyramid Age, but I think modern Egyptians created them out of greed.
But how do you think you'll feel when you buy this, take it home, and put it on display?
When I think about it calmly, these are really unnecessary souvenirs—am I the only one who thinks they’re basically just junk that’s a hassle to receive?
There were a few snack stands right outside, and I chose the “Spaghetti Napolitan” there.
That's so Japanese! lol
I had it with my coffee, but it wasn't tasty at all.
It was just some soggy noodles with ketchup poured all over them lol
It really is no good trying to eat Japanese food when you're overseas. After all, the people making it aren't even good at it.
You really should eat local food, lol (they should be used to making it).
Once again, there's absolutely no mention of the slope in this one, but I hope you enjoy it anyway lol
Next time, a whirlwind trip home awaits us ^^
See you later.
