Unwrap the mysteries of this civilization with mummies and more

Postado em Egito forum

Inside Ancient Egypt is an up-close look at the daily lives of ancient Egyptians—as well as how they thought about death.

Enter through a three-story replica of a mastaba, a type of ancient Egyptian tomb, that houses two authentic chamber rooms from the burial site of 5th Dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Unis’s son Unis-Ankh.

The burial chamber, which dates to 2400 BC, houses one of the largest collections of mummies in the United States: 23 human mummies and more than 30 animal mummies.

The exhibition also features a recreation of an ancient marketplace reconstructed from market scenes depicted on tomb walls. Filled with goods and people, the marketplace offers experiential learning through the everyday activities that occurred in this bustling cultural center.

Inside Ancient Egypt offers clues to ancient Egyptians’ lives on Earth—and to everything we may have in common with them.
