Mummification Museum

The Mummy Museum was built in 1997. Egyptian architects cleverly used light to turn the museum on the first basement into a cold tomb, where various animal mummies and coffins are lined up, creating a strange little journey for you. Located on the banks of the Nile, the Mummy Museum is one of the few museums in Egypt with modern equipment. The museum displays items related to mummies. Along the exhibition route, you can learn about the detailed steps of mummy making. At the same time, you can also learn about the Egyptians' understanding of mummies through their descriptions of mummies. The mummies displayed in the museum are mainly animals, such as sheep, cats, baboons, etc. One of the more special ones is the crocodile mummy. In ancient times, there were many crocodiles on the Nile River in Thebes. The ancient Egyptians worshipped crocodiles as gods, so they created the crocodile god Sobek. There are many crocodile mummies in the museum. The long mouth and long tail of the crocodile are wrapped in layers of white cloth, which is very interesting.
