je craind pour ce beau musée d etre detruit un jour par des fanatiques au non de la guerre sainte contre l idolâtrie.
le mauvais souvenirs du musée de Bagdad est encors vif , et la destruction des vestiges sumériens par daech suscite encors le dégoût
hi, can one of you beautiful people please visit this magnificent museum lol im in #NewYork and i cant afford to go right now! <3 #GnarlyDavidson
The statues were believed to house the soul of the deceased pharaoh. By breaking off the nose, his successors suffocated him.
Welcome to Egypt ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The building is amazing. Sometimes the architecture is as good as the exhibits. I feel that here it is better. There is a sense of museum fatigue when everything revolves around the same era
Anything is Possible
Anything is possible
Los pies de Ramsés II han sido reconstruidos, al igual que uno de sus brazos
Es moderno y amplio, pero el antiguo museo era especial, caótico y tenía misterio.
また🇯🇵の金かい‼️💩🇯🇵国民は餓死しそうに生きてるのに‼️
outstanding architecture but too much empty space

Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is no other God apart from me. The Museum of Idol Worshipping.
Quels changements et beautés par rapport à l'autre musée du Caire que j'ai visité en 2007 ,plus spacieux avec plus de choses exposées il me semble ! Merci pour cette visite ,mais rien ne vaux une croisière sur le Nil et visiter les sites ,quel bon dans le temps et dépaysements !
Müzenin etrafında hiç ağaç yok,yeşil bir alan yok,hiç kuş uçmuyor
J'ai envie de dire que ce musée très moderne ne reflète plus les mystères que j'ai ressentis dans le musée du Caire ,trop de bruits ,même si ont est bien dirigé vers les joyaux de ce Pays! Cette grande civilisation née depuis des siècles et certainement à été guidée et éduquée par des civilisations pour moi extraterrestres ,qui en fit une très grande nation développée et éduquée dans beaucoup de techniques ! Je ne vois pas de remerciements aux donateurs comme le Japon pour avoir donné des aides conséquentes financières pour construire ce grand musée ,c'est bien dommage !!!!!!
Thank You, from the USA, North Carolina. Feb 12 2026.
Egyptian ancient art is so magnificent ! Thanks for this video and congratulations to the egyptian autorities and people for building this great museum, with an amazing view on the Giza pyramids. Tutankhamun’s treasure is of course particularly wonderful. It’s quite a miracle that all this fantastic artefacts, so often made of gold, have reached the eternity they were meant for and are now exposed, among all the others antiquities, in the shrine they deserved.
ขอขอบ คุณเป็นอย่างสูงที่ช่วยแปลเป็นภาษาไทยให้ด้วย
ฉันชอบวิดีโอนี้มาก เหมือนได้ไปเที่ยวด้วยเลย ❤❤❤❤❤
The Temple Of Being A Jerk, largely.
Halls and memories. Very cool!
This is amazing. 😀
Would they mind giving the tiniest little scraps of bone and skin from the mummies
For melanin testing, while we are on a roll. 😀
It was proven that melanin stays in the bone and skin for 10s of thousands of years.
Billion dollar museum
But no inch of bone or skin from the mummies 🤔
I need clarity
🚶🏿♂️
Ik ben heel blij met uw film van het museum . Was erg duidenlijk en leerzaam ben zelf 74 en woon in Amsterdam 👍✌️
Starbucks inside the Museum! No Class! 🙃
