Bella posing(She said her tummy hurt and she had to go to the bathroom!!)
The artwork is still so vividly bright, even after thousands of years!
A person's organs were kept in these.
Heart Scarabs
These were so awesome!! I can't believe I finally got to see some!
Mummies!!!
Bella was a little freaked out by these. She thought they would wake up and turn into zombies, lol! We were literally inches away, with just glass separating us.
These were made of wood, and yet have survived all this time!
Incredible craftsmanship!
This was for a small child.
Layout of a royal tomb.
This was real human hair, made into a wig!
Real eggs that have petrified, food for the afterlife.
Handmade basket
Sandals
Just look at this detail!
This reminds me of the "foot" on LOST, lol! Thomas wanted me to be sure to get a photo of this because...
...of the longer second "freak" toe! Both he and Bella have it!!!
Funerary masks - so lifelike!
Mummified cats
Mummified crocodiles too!
Even a bull!
There's still so much more to see on tomorrow's post! I hope you'll come back for the conclusion of our Turin trip! Ciao!

I had no idea there was so much Egyptian history to be learnt in Torino.
Very cool. Those mummies would have freaked me out a bit too!
I didn't know they had so many Egyptian artifacts there. I am fascinated by early Egypt and watch everything I can on the subject. This would be a real treat to see in person. Wow! :)
Wow!! Amazing!! The colors so bright!! Wow again!

Now that is cool. I think I would be going into zombie mode too. Bella is not alone~
I thought Bella was showing us how to "walk like an egyptian"!
Goodness... with all this stuff in Italy, did they leave the Egyptians any of it?
