St. Petersburg's Winter Palace in Russia. The Winter Palace is located on the banks of the Neva River in St. Petersburg.

🌟In the underground level of the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, there is an Egyptian gallery that houses thousands of ancient Egyptian artifacts, including pharaonic sarcophagi, mummies, ancient Egyptian coffins, reliefs, stone fragments, anthropoid coffins, papyrus documents, and ritual objects. The most important exhibit is an Egyptian mummy with its bandages removed, and after thousands of years, its physical structure can still be discerned. 🌟Long ago, the ancient Egyptians had the concept of immortality of the soul. They believed that the deceased would be resurrected and gain eternal life. Therefore, after a person's death, the main organs were removed and placed in jars, and the empty shell of the body was dehydrated with salt water to become a mummy. Then, the mummy was wrapped from head to toe with fine linen bandages and placed in an airtight tomb, where it could last for a long time. The mummies hidden deep in the tombs quietly await the return of the soul that has passed away. 🌟It is very rare to see a mummy like this, where the bandages are completely removed and everything is exposed.
