Egyptian Museum Tour

Mon, Oct 18: Cairo, Egypt

In the Egyptian Museum, there are pieces that show machine marks, and finely crafted granite. Did the Egyptians inherit them?

Egyptian Museum Entrance.
The new Grand Egyptian Museum was not yet open.
Ramses II statue in the lobby of the museum.
Cute Sphinx
Sekhmet: the protector.
I need some of that.
Solid granite box, the headset connects to our guide, Yousef
Box shows signs of core drilling. It is crude work, suggesting it was done sometime after the box was created.
Schist Disk. What is it good for?
Diorite vase, harder than granite.
Found under the Step Pyramid in Saqqara.
Finely shaped stone dish, Perfect for grapes.
Supposedly, the statue with the most realistic eyes. Balding and chubby part seems realistic too.
Ancestor of Manneken Pis
They had long toes back in the day.
Confirmed with King Tut’s mummy photo, in the Valley of the Kings.
Me in a museum. Go figure.
Tube drill mark between feet
Overcut: from power tools? If it were done by hand, surely you would be able to keep on the cut line.
What was cutting this granite box so effortlessly that let it get so far off track?
It’s like how a circular saw cuts through wood.
Some important people
King Tut mask is in a separate room – no photos permitted. Probably because it would increase the wait time to get in tremendously.
The mask was clearly crafted by hand. I was expecting much higher quality work.
Elongated skulls, like in Paracus, Peru
Cute lion

Now check out King Tut’s long toes in the Valley of the Kings, or the underground passageways where the precision stone jars were found under the Step Pyramid in Saqqara.
