Mit Rahina Museum — Attraction in Giza

ocated in Giza governorate, with people always visiting the Giza Pyramids, yet most of them know nothing about this town. Memphis city is the centre of Badrasheen in Giza. Memphis was the capital of the first Old Kingdom in ancient Egypt, since the unification of the north and south by King Narmer, until the year 2,200 BC. Narmer was an ancient Egyptian king of the Early Dynastic period. He was considered the unifier of Egypt, and the founder of the First Dynasty, and in turn the first king of a unified Egypt.

The museum consists of two parts, the indoors museum, and the outdoors museum. The indoors area contains that statue of Ramses II, and the ancient columns and statues of dwarfs. On the other hand, the outdoor area contains the Ramses Sphinx, and the Triad of Memphis statue. The Ramses Sphinx

This Sphinx was fashioned to imitate the original Sphinx at the Giza Pyramids. Yet, the head of this Sphinx represents the face of Ramses II, rather than King Khufu, with the lion’s body constant.

The statue of the Triad of Memphis The Triad of Memphis consists of Ptah, Sekhmet, and their son Nefertem. The three Gods’ centre of worship was in Memphis. In Egyptian mythology, Memphis was believed to be under the protection of the God Ptah.

Ptah is the God of craftsmen and architects. Sekhmet was Ptah’s wife and the mother of Nefertem, the Lotus God. Sekhmet, meaning strong, was always represented as a lady with the head of a lioness sitting on the throne adorned by the sign of unification of the north and south of Egypt, topped by the sun disk and the Cobra snake.

Ramses II statue

The statue of Ramses II was discovered in 1820 by the Explorer Giovanni Batista Cavellia, near Memphis in Egypt.

Ramses II was the third pharaoh of the 19th Egyptian dynasty. He is regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the New Kingdom, who ruled for the longest time any pharaoh did.

There are protective cartridges on the shoulders of the statue, with Ramses wearing a dagger, and two heads representing Horus. The statue’s hand is closed to represent intensity and strength, while the statue’s smiling face represents mercy and tolerance.

The ancient columns The museum also contains columns representing the late age of the ancient Egyptian civilisation, through displaying the...

This museum is popularly known as the Memphis open air museum. We were very eager to visit this museum, as not much evidence of the ancient city of Memphis, is available today. We had heard about the huge statue of Ramses2 that was on display here, as well as the alabaster Sphinx. Suffice to say, we were not disappointed. The huge statue of Ramses2 is displayed, lying on his back and is remarkable. The skill of the craftsmen, who created such a masterpiece is creditable indeed. Such perfect symmetry! Carved out of a single block of limestone, the statue, even without part of it's legs, is 13 meters long. We were told that the twin of this statue has been placed near the new Grand Egyptian Museum that is set to open this year, (2020). The alabaster Sphinx is exhibited in the open air garden, outside the museum that houses Ramses2. There are also a number of stone statues and remnants of old stone beds scattered around the open air museum. Within the museum campus, lining the periphery, are a number of kiosks selling souvenirs, some pretty cheesy and found everywhere, but some are pretty unique pieces. Take a look, if you have some time. There are guides available at the gate near the ticket counters. Inside the campus, near the entrance there are paid washrooms and fresh drinking water. The road leading to the museum is bad, but parking...
