Egyptian Museum: Torino 22 November 2012

Ok, maybe it's just me, but I think the fact that Torino has the most important collection of Egyptian artifacts outside of Egypt is pretty cool! We spent a morning wandering among the mummies, artifacts and statuary.

"The mummy walks." (Scooby Doo) Well, actually they just lie there.


Although some have painted faces and beards.


Necklace of golden rams heads.


The cubit.


"Look at my hair. I'm on fire!"


I've got big balls, and I can not lie. After all, I'm holding them in my hands for all to see.


Sphinxy cat.


I'm a mummy, he's a mummy, she's a mummy. Wouldn't you like to be a mummy too?
