In the morning we checked out the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Ancient Egypt is quite possibly the coolest thing ever. The highlight was definitely seeing the mummies.
They had about twenty mummies that had been removed from their tombs. Some of the big names they had were King Ramses II, III, IV, V, and IX. There was also one Queen who had here pet baboon mummified and buried with her. Even though their arms were all twisted up and their faces were all contorted, they seemed very peaceful. It was pretty crazy looking at these guys that had lived thousands of years ago and to think of how much power they had in their time. Unfortunately no photos were allowed in the museum.
