The Egyptian museum

Believe it or not Torino has the 2nd largest museum of Egypt history and artifacts in the world. From what I know the Savoy dynasty have been quite fond of Egyptian culture and collected all sorts of artifacts and manuscripts during the colonial days of Italy. I was quite surprised when a friend told me that for a very long time Torino has been a centre of ocult sciences and dark magic - come to think of it, it doesn't really look like a coincidence me coming here :)
The museum was truly enjoyable - quite amazing to know that people had such an advanced civilization 4 000 years ago - anciant Egyptians were terrific at such things as architecture, building monument and pyramids, agriculture, cosmectics and ripping your intestines while you are still alive as well as many other wonders of modern civilization. AMAZING!
Feel free to look at the pictures
