One of the main reasons for our weekend in Torino was to see the Egyptian Museum, the second largest collection outside Egypt. Even our friends, who have visited Egypt, were impressed with the artifacts. The museum's archaeological staff spent much time in Egyptian excavations in the early 1900's. We spent several hours viewing the mummies, the statues, the Book of the Dead, and so on. The museum houses many important pieces of Ramses II, Amenhotep, and King Thutmose III. Incredible.
