This morning we visited the Karnak Temple. It was very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, BIG! We walked through the whole temple to the very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, END! It was impressive.
We went back to swim one more time before getting ready to check out of the hotel. Then Benjamin arranged for a taxi boat for all of us to visit the Mummification Museum. The Mummification Museum was small, but interesting. I learned that the Egyptians didn’t save the brain. They thought the heart was more important. So they used special tools to take the brain out of the head. Like a little tiny scraper that they put up through the nose. Then they scraped and scraped and the brain came out of the nose. Isn’t that GROSS!
After that we said our goodbyes to Ed and Benjamin and went to the train station. This time my Mom didn’t get lost! We went to bed as soon as we got on the train.
