The Egyptian Museum

Afew days ago we went to the amazing Egyptian Museum and it was so much fun! First we got our tickets and went in.The first things we saw were things like statues but they wern't all just Egyptian they were greek and roman too! and there was actually ancient greek writing too! but ancient greek is not like greek nowdays so we coldn't realy make out the words.The statues usually had the inprint of isis on them (the godess of the Underworld) After seeing all that we saw things like pottery and cuttlery and they usually had the imprint of the gods such as: Thorus,Thoth,Acires,Isis,Anabis and many more. Next we saw one of the most amazing things it was the coffin things that they used to put the mummies in after preparation.After a while of looking at that we saw the jewlry of which the Queens and Princesses used vto wear.My favorite one was a necklace with cobras all around the edge. After looking at that we went to the animal mummy room were we saw animals like: baboons,dogs,birds,crocodiles and many more creatures.It was kind of freaky walking through all those dead things I mean they might come alive any minute. When we got out we went to the most the most amazing thing, it was were the mummies were.The mummies names were: Tuthmosis 4th,King Tuthmosis 3rd,King Amamhotep 2nd,King Tuthmosis 2nd,King Tuthmosis 1st,King Amemhotep 1st,Setti 1st,King Meremptah,Princess Meritamum,King Seqeneretaa 2nd and last but not least Ramses 2nd.When we got out of the mummy room we went to see tuts stuff such as carriages, thrones, games, masks, beds, canopic jars and many other statues and gods.Having seen all that we decided to go to another mummy room and there we saw 5 women,1 queen with pet baboon,4 ramses 9,5,4,3,1 high preist,1prince.After looking at those we hooked on to a tour guide who told us about how the mummies were prepared I'll tell you what he said ''First the mummies lye on one bed and have the first preparation done then they lye on another bed and have the second process done then put on the 3rd bed and have the last process done and then have the same thing done with the coffins and the sarcophagusess until the pharoh can rest in peace. After looking at that we all said we were getting tired so we had to go home.
