The Inside Photos

I managed to screenshot these from the video I bought. Is this breaking the copyright law? (It was a long video). Anyway...on with the history lesson. Don't forget to click on a photo to get a better view of it. Some of the detail is incredible.

The museum was built around this gigantic limestone statue of Akhenaten’s parents and believed to be grandparents of Tutankhamun. Forgot their names.

Chephren, builder of the second Pyramid and Sphinx at Giza. Found in a hole in the Temple at the foot of the Sphinx.

 

The Meidum Geese is a water colour wall painting from 2500 bc.

 

 Rahotep and Nofret. From the old Kingdom, 5000 years ago. Chephren’s younger brother and his wife. Made of limestone & original colour.

                                  


Akhenaten worshipped only one God. Believed to be Tutankhamun’s father. Nefertiti’s husband.

 Queen Hatshepsut , the first female Pharaoh. She ruled for 23 years

The Golden Mask weighs 11 kg. Amazing  to look at!

                                        

One of the 3 Sarcophaguses. This was the smallest of the 3 and the one the mummy was in.

Canopic jars that stored his organs

Liver, Lungs, Stomach and Intestines were first stored in these then inserted into the Canopic jars. (above)

The largest Shrine of 3 the Canopic Jars were placed in.

His mobile camping bed with the 4 hinges made of metal.

 

3 of the 4 Shrines the Sarcogaphuses were placed in, just like Babushka Dolls. Note the 3^rd one is in top photo at the back, and there is one bigger again.

 

Didn't add any mummy photos as they are a bit gruesome...
