The Grand Egyptian Museum | I would call it a must-visit museum in my lifetime

Standing in that enormous glass atrium, gazing through the skylight at the distant pyramids, an unprecedented sense of awe welled up within me. The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is not merely a display of ancient artifacts; it is like a living epic of civilization, inviting every visitor to step into the flow of time. Upon entering the exhibition hall, the first thing that catches the eye is the colossal statue of Ramses II, standing 11 meters tall and weighing 83 tons, its imposing presence awe-inspiring. The museum houses over 100,000 precious artifacts, showcasing the vastness and depth of ancient Egyptian civilization. Standing before the display cases, gazing at the gilded ornaments, the hieroglyphic inscriptions on the stone tablets, and the eyes that still shine after millennia, I truly realized that history is not just an abstract concept from books; it is tangible, breathable, and resonates in the air. Especially noteworthy is the exhibition area dedicated to displaying the treasures of the Tutankhamun tomb. When thousands of artifacts, previously displayed in fragments, are brought together in one space for the first time, and when the golden mask reflects a soft glow under the lights, one can feel the glory of ancient Egypt and glimpse its unknown past. Leaving the exhibition hall and turning to look at the pyramid complex outside, modern architecture and ancient wonders intertwine, and the river of time flows gently before your eyes. I highly recommend adding this museum to your must-see list for Egypt. At the Grand Egyptian Museum, a visit is more than just "looking at exhibits"; it offers an immersive and awe-inspiring experience, a journey of dialogue with history.
