Guide to the pyramids of Cairo Museum, Egypt

Egypt is a country full of mystery. It is the birthplace of the earliest human civilization. It has a history of 8,000 years, and it has left the world's top historical culture-the pyramids of Egypt. So far, these pyramids can't be solved by scientific knowledge, but can only be attributed to the masterpieces of aliens. The following is a free guide to the pyramids of Cairo Museum in Egypt.

After a week 10 day trip to Egypt, I can't get rid of my impression of Egypt. Although this is a hiking trip, I want to witness this mysterious miracle personally, because I learned about the pyramids and the Sphinx in middle school geography and history textbooks, and I know that this is one of the unsolved mysteries in the world. Because I was worried about the security of Egypt, I joined a "tour group" that I generally didn't want to get involved in, mainly because I saw more free time.

At first, the biggest concern was security. Because the political situation in Egypt has not been very stable, and the kidnapping in Egypt has always been well known at home and abroad, everyone has a lot of worries about the Middle East and Islamic regions. But when I arrived, I felt safe all the way, and I didn't even see the crowd gathered in the square. Especially in Cairo and Luxor, you can see many policemen and armored vehicles with guns. Our hotel is checked by doormen and dogs, and all luggage has to go through security check, which is similar to the procedure at the airport. So there is no problem with personal safety. Unlike Rome and Paris, there are many petty thefts here. Their faith forbids them to steal. However, it is puzzling that they are cheating openly and honestly. Their promises are worthless, and they change as soon as they are said. All the prices mentioned above are invalid, and they are bent on extortion, which is in sharp contrast with the simplicity of China when he was poor. In fact, there is basically no need to worry about safety when traveling to Egypt, and there is nothing to worry about with the group. Being a free partner is nothing more than a little money. You know Egypt is a country where tipping can solve more than 99% of travel problems. You can say responsibly that free travel is completely fine.

On the whole, the trip to Egypt was pleasant, but I was a little tired of being cheated many times, but I couldn't let them ruin our trip. Actually, I was very helpless when I wrote it. Egyptian locals who are not involved in tourism are still very enthusiastic. I know from my two trips that most swindlers gather in the bustling places of tourism to cheat money. They will smile at you or take the initiative to say hello when you are walking on the road or taking pictures. They may be curious or friendly. I heard that you are from China, many people will give a thumbs up and say, China is the first, and Chinese is good! Then tell you that many of the things they use are made in China, and some people will like to take photos with you. But please note that if people related to tourism, especially those near scenic spots, please refuse, they all want money! One of the earliest cradles of human civilization in the world is here, and deception prevails here today; The culture is so rich and the tourism environment is so bad. This is what I think of ice and fire!

There are three main itineraries: Cairo, Hongjada Red Sea and Luxor.

The first is Cairo.

Egyptian Museum Cairo National Museum is one of the world-famous large museums, which collects the essence of Egyptian archaeological discoveries. It is also the most famous and largest museum with ancient Egyptian cultural relics in the world. This is one of the most famous museums in the world, and it is also a treasure house of ancient Egyptian civilization with a long history of more than 3,000 years. There are more than 300,000 pieces of various cultural relics collected here, and only 63,000 pieces are on display, accounting for about one-fifth of all cultural relics. Because this museum mainly collects the cultural relics of the Pharaoh period, Egyptians used to call it the "Pharaoh Museum".

The museum is located in Tahrir Square in Cairo, built at 1858. 1902, it was moved to an ancient and luxurious double-story stone building. From the pharaoh's era in ancient Egypt to the Roman rule in the 5th and 6th centuries, there are more than 654.38 million+historical relics. The exhibits here are arranged in chronological order on the first floor, and displayed by theme on the second floor, showing the most precious collections.

The cultural relics in the museum include stone carvings and wood carvings more than 4,000 years ago, the throne of ancient pharaohs and parasols. There are multi-layer coffins carved with ancient Egyptian patterns and well-preserved mummies; There are underwear, handkerchiefs of ancient Egyptian kings and wooden models used for clothing at that time; There are papyrus manuscripts invented 5000 years ago and pens, inks, pen containers and paperweights used 3400 years ago; There are toys, grains, needlework, scissors, cosmetics and other daily necessities of the ancient Egyptians, as well as the pawnshop owner's certificate and death certificate, and so on. Visitors can enjoy the wisdom, civilization and life of the working people in ancient Egypt there.

Regarding taking photos, you can take photos in the museum by paying 100 Egyptian pounds, but you can't take photos in the mummy museum and the golden mask, and you need to pay extra. But I didn't know I couldn't wear a gold mask at that time, so I thought I could take pictures after paying 100 Egyptian pounds, so I took a few pictures and didn't dump them into the camera. This photo was found on the Internet.

Treasure of the museum: The gold mask was originally used to cover the head, shoulders and upper chest of the Pharaoh's mummy, which basically restored Tutankhamun's appearance. It is said that when Pharaoh's soul comes back from the dead, he needs to find his body through the image of the mask. The golden mask is also a typical image of the Egyptian Pharaoh, wearing a Nimis headscarf. Striped headscarves (blue and white headscarves, gold and blue masks) cover the entire forehead and back neck (sometimes extending to the back), with two large petals hanging behind the ears and in front of the shoulders; The crowns of vultures and cobras represent the unification of upper and lower Egypt, and represent the gods of Necbet and Uajet who protect upper and lower Egypt.

There are 12 rows of usekh collars (similar to necklaces) on the chest, which are inlaid with various gems, and the two ends of the necklace are eagle heads symbolizing Horus; In addition, Pharaoh has eyeliner and fake beard, and has a typical image of God. There are many hieroglyphs carved on the back of the mask, which is a magical formula for summoning gods in Chapter 15 1b of the Book of the Dead.

The four golden coffins of Turkmen were wrapped around each other, but I didn't pay attention at that time, and it didn't look good when it was covered with glass, so I didn't take any photos.

[Pyramid of Giza]

The pyramids of Egypt are the tombs of ancient Egyptian pharaohs and one of the eight architectural wonders in the world. Among them, pyramid of khufu is the most famous, and pyramid of khufu is the largest among the Egyptian pyramids. Pyramid is a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian civilization, a symbol of Egypt, the pride of the Egyptian people and the crystallization of their wisdom. More than 65,438+00,000 craftsmen * * spent about 20 years completing this human miracle. The pyramids we have heard of since childhood are basically the pyramids of Giza, that is, the pyramids we have been to mainly in Khufu, khalaf and Menkaure. Because Khufu is the largest pyramid and close to the city, it is a must-see pyramid for everyone.

Our hotel is next to this pyramid group, but the opening hours of the scenic spot are from 8 am to 4 pm, so sunrise and sunset can't be in the scenic spot. It is said that this is for the safety of tourists, fearing that terrorists will come in at night. Well, it's important to live. The best time not to see the pyramids.

pyramid of khufu

Hu is the son of the founder of the fourth dynasty in the ancient kingdom (the builder of the Red Pyramid). His reign was about 2580-2560 BC. The name Cheops is more commonly used by local Egyptians. Please pay attention.

It is the largest pyramid in pyramid of khufu. It used to be 146.5m high, but now it is about 137m high due to long-term weathering. Before the Eiffel Tower, it was the tallest building of mankind. The base edge is 230.4 meters long, and about 2.3 million pieces of 250-80 tons of stone are used. These stones come from Aswan in the south.

There are three Queen's Pyramids in the east of pyramid of khufu, and the Sun Boat Museum in the south.

Pyramid of khufu has access to the interior. There are two rooms in it, one is a tomb and the other is for funerary objects. However, it is empty now. Mainly look at the pyramids, pyramids, pyramids, pyramids, pyramids. Now the price has risen to 200 pounds per person. It is said that the daily limit is 300 people. In fact, you can basically pay. You really regret going in for an hour and never going in for the rest of your life. We didn't have time, so we just wandered around below and took photos, so we had no regrets.

khafre pyramid

The original height of the Hafra Pyramid was 143.5 meters, but now it is 136.4 meters, and its base length is 2 15.28 meters. It is the second largest pyramid.

Khalaf khalaf or Chevron is the son of Khufu, but not immediately after Khufu. He used to have a brother.

The pyramids built in khalaf dare not surpass Barbie, but they are slightly smaller than those in pyramid of khufu.

However, due to its high terrain and large angle, this pyramid looks higher than pyramid of khufu at first glance, and its appearance has been decorated.

The surface of the pyramid is covered with a limestone shell, and now only the top is left.

Monkara pyramid

Menkaure Menkaure is the son of khalaf and the Pharaoh of the fourth dynasty. At that time, the national strength had begun to decline. The pyramids of Menkaure are much smaller than those of his father and grandfather, 65 meters high and 102- 104 meters long at the bottom. There are three queen pyramids in the south. Actually, I don't know which pyramid this is.

[Sphinx]

This is the largest, oldest and most mysterious statue. The deification behind it, its origin and its rumored connection with other parts of the world make it a famous historical treasure.

The ancient Egyptians believed that the lion was the embodiment of strength, and the Sphinx was a symbol of wisdom and strength. Pharaoh often put the Sphinx outside the mausoleum as a patron saint. Because the Sphinx is located in front of the Hafra Pyramid, there are many fans about the Sphinx. Who founded it?

Why build it? What about the nose and beard? At present, the mainstream view is that khalaf built it to commemorate his father Khufu, so it is near his pyramid. Many people should have heard that the nose was bombarded by Napoleon, but basically history does not support this statement. Anyway, it is good for everyone to have a look. The fallen beard of the Sphinx is now hidden in the British Museum.

I have visited the British Museum, which has a small Egyptian museum. There are indeed many mummies, but I didn't know that the beard of the Sphinx was collected there, or I was going there anyway.

Looking at the golden pyramids, I feel excited.

I dreamed of going to Egypt since I was a child, because I like the birthplace of ancient civilization, I yearn for the mysterious Egyptian pyramids, and I also want to explore the mysteries of aliens through the pyramids. Human civilization has entered the information age after five thousand years, which is a leap-forward development model. I sincerely hope to find traces of alien civilization here. Only the pyramids and the stone statues on Easter Island have this charm.
