Witness of Ancient Egyptian Culture - National Museum

【 Essays on Egypt 】

    The Egyptian National Museum is located next to the Liberation Square in downtown Cairo. The museum is built by the French. There are many exhibits in it, especially the golden mask of Tutankhamun. In history, after Egypt was occupied by Arabs, the ancient Egyptian culture was completely destroyed. Arabs look down upon many precious historical witnesses of ancient Egypt, ranging from pyramids to statues. As a result, the loss of ancient Egyptian cultural relics was very serious after the Western invasion, and the Arabs took a laissez faire attitude. It was not until the French Mariette realized the seriousness of this problem and established a museum to help Egyptians leave many cultural relics that the loss of cultural relics was curbed to a certain extent. He is also known as "Father of the Egyptian Museum".  

    Everything in the museum is genuine antiques, including many exhibits that tourists can touch, which have a history of thousands of years.
