Mummification Museum Luxor

One of the most interesting things about Egypt is how many good museums and monuments, like the Mummification Museum, are devoted to the country’s long history. Because of this, they deserve the business of tens of thousands of tourists and locals every month  The Mummification Museum is an interesting and unusual place to visit near the beautiful Nile River, in the city of

Luxor, which used to be called Thebes. There, the art of mummification from Egypt’s three great dynasties—the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom—tells a beautiful story.

You can look at some mummified animals and learn more about the tools and other things that people used back then This small museum on the banks of the Nile has an interesting display about how ancient Egyptians preserved their dead On display are tools for taking out organs and medicines that the mummy would have needed to get to the next world.

Maseharti, a high priest and commander from the 21st Dynasty, was found in Deir el-Bahri with his body still in one piece. His casket was also pretty A mummified cat, which represents the goddess Bastet, and a mummified ram, which represents the god Khnum, are also on display Some of the things on display include a piece of a mummified skull with something in the space where

the brain used to be. A piece of a toe that had been mummified is also included The Mummification Museum opened in 1997, and it is close to the Museum of Luxor, which has been around since 1975 and is known for its history. One of its goals is to show how ancient Egyptians buried their dead and kept them alive, which helped them get ready for the next life You might get up close and

personal with marble headrests, ointment jars, ritual instruments, chests, and all kinds of animals (rams, cats, ducks, crocodiles, parts of oxen and many others). The Museum of Mummification gives visitors more than just a chance to look at things. Instead, it teaches them how ancient Egyptians preserved bodies.
