Egyptian museum part 1

Ever since I've had conversations with hosts about my future plans and said I'd be in Turin, they all said I had to go to this museum. With the second biggest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts outside the (problematic) Cairo museum, it's a must-see 

Organized well, it starts you at 3500 BCE.

naturally mummified burial. 5500 years old

stone jars, bowls. 3300 BCE

the oldest painting on linen in the world 

a surving linen tunic, 3100 BCE

a coffin, ropes needed to haul it. Funerary jars. Sandals for the dead.

a single kingly burial, 2800 BCE. From Italian excavations from 1896-1920, when it was still legal to take such things from the host county. You can tell the wealth of the deceased from how many things are wood. Wood was rare and expensive.

thank heavens for maps on the wall. It's a big museum.
