Memphis

posted by qcherry on 23 November 2010 at 12:56

Memphis is almost worth seeing for the paucity of its archaeological remains. It's quite incredible that this was once the capital of Egypt and is now the site of a modest settlement and a few pharaonic remains. It's only 25km from Cairo and you can get there in a tour bus.

Cairo Museum

posted by beisenhart on 11 August 2010 at 17:18

I was surprised that there were any artifacts left in Egypt having seen the British Museum and Louvre collections. But sure enough, the museum is absolutely bursting at the seems. Making up for in sheer quantity what it lacks in scholarly value. The Greek/Egyptian sculptures stand out most strongly in my hand
