I slept soundly that night and woke up early. At around five o'clock, I heard someone standing on the minaret of the mosque outside shouting, "Get up and pray." Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were hardcore materialistic proletarian blind drifters, so they covered their heads and continued to sleep.

Today I plan to visit the Egyptian Museum. The most convenient means of transportation in Cairo is the subway, which is made in France and has automatic ticketing. Each station has exquisite murals, and the train has several special carriages for women. Of course, this is not to prevent Japanese harassment, but out of religious customs.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo lived near Metro Line 2. They walked to Elharam Station to get on the train and got off at Sadat Station. Midantahrir Square was right outside.

The Egyptian Museum is located on the east bank of the Nile River, not far northwest of Tahrir Square, with the famous Nile Hilton in front of it. The museum is an old and luxurious light red two-story building with a small front but a long depth. The museum originated from the initiative of the famous French archaeologist Auguste Mariette.

This old French gentleman did not selfishly go back to his hometown to make money under the banner of academic research. Instead, he devoted himself to the work of protecting cultural relics in a foreign country in a fearless spirit of internationalism. Therefore, the Egyptians respectfully called this foreigner "the father of the Egyptian Museum."

The main purpose of building the museum was to prevent the outflow of excavated Egyptian national treasures. The museum moved twice and finally moved to its current location in 1902. There are so many Egyptian treasures that there are more than 300,000 cultural relics collected in the museum, but only 63,000 are on display, accounting for only one-fifth of all the cultural relics.

This two-story building has been operating at overload for many years, and some of the collections underground have even sunk into the soft ground. So a new Grand Museum of Egypt is being planned near the Pyramids of Giza.

The construction site in front of the museum gate is full of potholes, garbage and tourist buses parked randomly. In September 1997, two sly terrorists went on a killing spree outside this gate, and a German tour group was chased and suffered heavy losses. Therefore, the area is heavily guarded and the Egyptian police around are also well-equipped.

In his hand was a German-made MP5 submachine gun, and on his waist was an Italian M92 pistol. There was a sentry every 100 steps. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were honest citizens who bought 60 Egyptian pounds tickets, brought dry food, and planned to spend a day here. To the west of the courtyard in front of the museum was Mariette's grave.

The busts of 24 Egyptian academic masters surround it. In the courtyard, there are lotus leaves representing ancient Upper Egypt and papyrus, the oldest papermaking material in the world, representing Lower Egypt. There are also stone tablets and stone statues standing in the courtyard exposed to the sun and rain, and some are even scattered deep in the soil at the corner.

There are two security checks at the main gate and the museum entrance. Since photography is prohibited, cameras are definitely not allowed in, but can be kept at the main gate. Electronic guide machines in English, French, and Arabic are available for rent at the entrance. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo can only rely on the English annotations in the museum and the lonelyplax in their hands.

Basically, precious cultural relics from the Old Kingdom to the Roman Empire are placed in a clockwise order. One of the biggest features of the museum is that it is real and honest, unlike museums in other countries. The cultural foundation is weak, the good stuff is precious, and a few fakes are placed to make it look good.

Except for the Rosetta Stone in the lobby on the first floor, everything in the museum is real stuff from four or five thousand years ago. Another feature is poor management. Most of the exhibits have no guardrails, the labels are confusing, and the items are randomly placed. Visitors can touch them easily. Don't expect visitors to have self-control in this regard.

After Yunluo specifically asked the museum staff to confirm whether the items in the museum were genuine and received their proud affirmation, he still couldn't help but touch the 4,600-year-old statue of Rahotep and his wife Nofret. Yunluo promised to only look at it and not touch it in the following time.

Another feature is that the internal security is not strict. The more expensive ones are simply placed in glass cabinets, and there are no cameras or alarms. This is the result of a thief breaking into the museum in 1996, which did not even lock the door. The authorities began to strengthen security. Recently, some brainless scum took advantage of the unrest in Egypt to break into the museum and even chopped the mummy.

What shocked Yunluo the most was the atrium. Facing him were the huge statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and his queen, as well as the famous Narmer Palette, the symbol of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The enclosed space, the gloomy lights, and the huge stone statues. The scarab Heper.

The standing jackal-headed Anubis, the dancing eyed king snake, the solar boat, the flying eagle, the sacred cat, everything was spinning around, as if they were resurrected because of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's intrusion into this newly opened tomb. Professor Jones, the Scorpion King, Adela, Tintin.

All of a sudden, a lot of tall, handsome, and glorious images flashed through Yun Luo's mind and possessed Yun Luo's soul, making Yun Luo a little confused and his feet felt unsteady - no one could bear to be possessed by so many celebrities.

Visitors are not allowed to enter the basement, but you can see the dim lights below through the ventilation holes on the first floor. Don't look at it for too long, otherwise a thousand-year-old dry hand may reach out and drag you to hell, or a bunch of beetles may come out and eat you.

The second floor is a number of exhibition halls with theme displays. The famous Tutankhamun Gallery is the most eye-catching for its most luxurious exhibits. This 11th generation pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty was born in troubled times, came to power at a young age, and died at a young age. He came and went in a hurry without any achievements and remained unknown.

It was not until the tomb was destroyed by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922 that the massive amount of burial objects shocked the world, and the mystery of premature death in the prime of life became a hot topic among the public. Yun Luo had no interest in gold. The source of the world's troubles was just a pile of metal.

Then there is the Mummy Hall, which costs another 100 Egyptian pounds. There are more than a dozen mummies of pharaohs and their wives on display, protected by glass cabinets with precise temperature control. The wives are no longer beautiful, and Ramses II is also lying there withered, because the promiscuous French always have a good impression of the romantic commander.

Therefore, during the treatment in France, Comrade Ramses received a ceremonial reception at the level of a head of state. Yunluo was interested in the pottery jars that contained internal organs. Scientifically speaking, internal organs rot first, so they need to be treated specially. Yunluo felt that the life of these pharaohs who were always worried about the country and the people was not easy.

In the next life, I still want to live a happy life like Yunluo. Animal mummies are also very interesting. Crocodiles, snakes, fish, cats, monkeys... They are suspected of being used for ** experiments.

After leaving the museum, you can stroll around the surrounding area. Built in 1959, Nile Hilton is the first modern hotel in Cairo. It was formerly the British colonial army station. The British masters once burned documents here in a smokey manner and survived Rommel’s crazy attack in 1942 in fear.

However, it could not withstand the democratic independence movement of the Egyptian people in 1952, and finally withdrew from Africa in disgrace in 1956. Further south is the Arab League Building, where the sheikhs with several concubines often come and go. Southeast of Tahrir Square is the American University in Cairo.

It is a private university established in 1919. The campus is not big, and only the rich and powerful can study here, such as Princess Rania of Jordan. Standing at the gate of Mohammed Mahmoud Street, I seemed to be back to the campus more than ten years ago, looking at the beautiful ladies coming and going, and imagining Princess Baytullah getting off the Lincoln and rushing towards me.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

She cried and shouted that she would not marry anyone but me. Haha~ Abdeen Palace is located to the east of Tahrir Square. It was the key link in Governor Ismail's attempt to recreate Greater Cairo in 1863. Now it has become a small museum full of swords, spears and halberds.

1. The Egyptian Museum is located next to Tahrir Square in the center of Cairo, close to the Hilton Hotel. The ticket price is 60 LE (Egyptian pounds). International student and teacher card holders can get a 50% discount with the card. The Mummy Museum inside requires an additional 100 LE ticket. You can take photos in the museum courtyard, but not inside the museum.

2. Tahrir Square (eltahrirsqr.), next to the Nile River, is near Cairo's bustling commercial streets, big hotels and hostels for foreign travelers. It is surrounded by the Egyptian Museum, Opera House, and Arab League. The subway station is named Sadat (the name of the former Egyptian president), which is the interchange point where two subway lines in Cairo meet. It costs 50LE to take a taxi from the airport.

I haven't visited the nightlife in Egypt yet. I've had enough of it these past two days, so I'll check out the nightlife. I asked the hotel staff when I left in the morning, and took the subway line 1 and got off at Darelsalam Station. Then I walked west to a small pier in Memphis as the sun set. The sunset over the Nile River is very moving, quiet and peaceful.

You must go to see Sufi dance in Egypt. At first I thought it was just a tourist attraction, but after watching it, I want to say that if you have the opportunity to go to Cairo, don't miss it. (To be continued...)
