A captivating visit to ancient Egypt …. viewing over a dozen mummies and ancient Egyptian art all in a single hall of the British Museum, London. If there is only ONE thing one has time for on a visit to London, then it has got to be the Egyptian hall!
Everything about their art is enthralling … including their hair art!
The checkerboard braid is the most intriguing of all – how did they do it?
Note the head bands worn above the forehead!
And the end-bands …wonder what those were!
So much art, so much culture waiting to be explored!
