Edo-Tokyo Museum
Edo-Tokyo Museum Special Exhibition: Ancient Egypt πͺπ¬ π’πΈ My fascination with ancient Egypt started with the movie "The Mummy" π¬, which was released in 1999. πβ¨The male lead, O'Connell, was once my ideal type of American guy πΊπΈ. When I was little, I would dramatically fantasize that I had a bit of Egyptian blood, just like the movie's female lead, Rachel, and I'd dream of one day seeing my past life from the clouds.. π’πΈ I still have unread books on my Kindle about the history of Egyptian culture and mummies. Ever since, I've been really into ancient Egyptian and pyramid culture. Hehe. π’πΈThe exhibition systematically introduced the Egyptian pantheon, historical figures, and the worldview of the afterlife. Photography was allowed π· (or was it just the time I visited? There were many older visitors who were quite enthusiastic about taking photos. πβ¨ It was a bit off-putting when I was looking at an exhibit and suddenly a hand would reach out from behind and press against the glass case to take a photo). #Tokyo πβ¨
