I have fairly vague memories of visiting Egypt with my family when I was about nine or ten. We saw the Pyramids, of course, and the sphynx, but that’s about all I remember. However, I just came across this tantalising incentive to go back there in the not too distant future. An awesome-looking new museum has now opened in Cairo. “The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), described as the world’s largest archaeological museum, is packed with some 100,000 artefacts covering some seven millennia of the country’s history from pre-dynastic times to the Greek and Roman eras.” Visiting the Louvre back in August was cool enough, but history nerd that I am, this new museum sounds too fascinating to miss.
