MUSEUM PHOTOS

Cairo Museum Pictures were tough in the Cairo museum because flashes weren’t allowed. Here are a few keepers.
Cairo Museum mummy One of the many mummies in the Cairo Museum.
Football Football - world’s oldest sport?
amusing relic Another amusing relic from the Cairo museum.

KING TUT
King Tut’s gold coffin King Tut’s gold coffin
Tut’s coffin The long view of Tut’s coffin
Stone relic A stone relic found in Tut’s tomb.
statue of a dog A statue of a dog from Tut’s tomb. That’s some red sweater, eh?
mask The classic shot, with just a hint of the reflected photographer. What millions stood on line and waited for hours to see, you get all to yourself in the Cairo museum. This – nor any picture – does the mask justice.
chair Pharaoh needs a place to sit once he crosses the river, so Tut packed this chair in his tomb.
gold and wooden structure This gold and wooden structure held the wooden/gold casket, that held the solid gold casket, that held the mummy with the mask. The ancient Egyptians really knew how to send someone off, didn’t they?
