When you go to some largish western art history museum, even not the super major ones, it’s always startling how big the egyptology section is. The amount of artifacts in the egyptian museum must be mindboggling.

It's been open for a while (not officially), I visited in February. It's huge and has a ton of different displays and amazing artifacts. Considering ancient Egyptian culture has been around for thousands of years, they put our current civilization to shame.

Imagine if most of the tombs hadn't been melted down over the centuries.

And the mummies hadn't been eaten. Tutankhamens tomb was exceptional that it was a rush job and hence easily hidden. For all we know there were loads of much grander tombs.
