Mummies, Sphinxes, and Ancient Egypt

We had lots of fun checking out the Ancient Egyptian relics at the "Shadow of the Sphinx" exhibit this weekend! A few of the amazing things we saw were:

 

R checking out the Egyptian masks under magnification.... :)

 

A mummy mask...

A mummy casket...

A small box with a Sphinx on top...

A mummified cat for "protection"..

K checking out the mummified head painted in gold.

An alligator tea pot...

This exhibit came at a good time as the kids have been studying Ancient Egypt in school this year!
