Egyption Museum In Turin

The Egyption museum in Turin is quite remarkable, these gifts were given to Italy with its help in restoring and archeological work for much of Egypt's artifacs.

I was permitted to take pictures without flash, not an easy task with such limited lighting but I thought that these images will give you an idea of what I saw.

When you consider that some of these items date back to 4000 B.C , it's really amazing. even with our technology, we are not able to produce much of the same materials and buildings now that can last as long as these (Roman and Egyption periods) I find that fact to be quite astounding.
