Face to face with Tut

Today we went to the Cairo Museum and saw king Tut's golden coffin and the golden burial mask. The coffin was 120 kilagrams of gold which is worth about 4 million in gold alone. Through out the museum we learned about the different dynasties and kings, through the statues. The inside of the sarcophagus's had very intricate drawings. Our family has learned thank you, please, hello and goodbye in arabic. overall cairo has been a great expirence and definitley more facinating in real life.
