Egypt's hidden treasures
Description
The Egyptian Museum in Cairo is a world-renowned treasure house filled with some of the ancient world's most precious artifacts, including the famed burial mask of King Tutankhamun and the Royal Mummies of Luxor. The museum's collection is so large that it lacks the space to exhibit all its relics-some items haven't been seen since they were excavated from Egypt's archaeological sites as far back as 100 years ago. Locked away in dusty crates, scores of priceless artifacts remain all but forgotten in the museum's basement-until now. What secrets does the museum hold?
