Museo Egipcio de El Cairo | EGIPTO #14

Because now he has the obligatory prayer of the second prayer of Fridays, the one at twelve. So we're here in the Tajrir Square, which is the most famous square in all of Cairo. This is where the protests were held when it was the Arab Spring and all that against The government of Mubarak. And all this, this square was full, full of people. You'll remember it from the news because there was a lot of trouble going on around here. And all this stuff, full of people. Also sale in the mummy. Ah, yes, the Egyptian Museum, that's where we're going now. As you can imagine, there was the Arab Spring, where Mubarak was a dictator during the More than 30 years. Then there were peaceful protests, although there were many... I must remind you that they were peaceful. They were peaceful, there were many dead, but by the military who tried Repressing the Protestants. The peaceful protests achieved the unthinkable. - I know. Yes, they got rid of Mubarak from power. And the problem is that they were very well known in the eyes of the world for being able to overthrow A dictator who ruled for decades. But then, as they say themselves, they became fools in the eyes of the world because after To do all that, go with an elected government that was there after, like the Defense Minister, He was a military man who made another coup, left the government and is the current president. of the country. And there are actually many problems because of that. And then the country is pretty unstable politically, so they're also Economic problems, which are causing the currency to fluctuate a lot. Then who thinks... It's changed like four times since we've been here. O sea, every four hours the value of the pound changes. Then you have to be careful when you make the changes and how much you're paying. The things. But that's it. O sea, there's enough instability that'll probably end up having new protests And they do it because they want to remove the current government which is another dictatorship after all. Something that does surprise me a lot is that it's super secure. Oh, we've been on the subway, we've walked a thousand streets, through every neighborhood. We're going through all the sides and... The worst he's seen has been at the hotel. The idiot has been throwing kisses at me. - Yes, you are. And that was at the hotel. Yes, inside the hotel. But it's all that is Cairo... O sea, I expected a country in general insecure, El Cairo especially insecure, We were gonna have to take them everywhere in vans with almost escorts and stuff. It's that people also love each other. Yes, yes, I know. O sea, pero no sé. It is not the sea. Everything is very very well. The kids come to you asking for school supplies, so they can write. And also that this is a sign of politeness when someone comes to exchange pens. But that's what it is. I highly recommend coming because it's a super safe country. Encima now that there is no tourism, for the problems that there are, no? But the good part is that there's hardly any tourism. Then you have practically everything all to yourselves. Many want you to come. Really want you to come here. The photos I ask you, I don't know. Agobia un poco, eso es cierto. It is true. But good, but insecurity nothing. We walked quietly. No, I know, very very well. And above that there's a lot of security. Now let's pass another bow here. The sea, on all sides there are arches of security. I've been to the mall 100 times, bags, backpacks, everything. So nothing, we're going to enter here for the museum area. The Egyptian Museum is a monument in itself because it's over 100 years old. It's from 1897. It took four years to build. It has more than 130,000 pieces. So it would take more than a month to visit it all. Here the entrance was attempted to recreate as the entrance to the temple of Luxor. That's why the sphinxes are there. And here in the middle are the sacred plants of Upper and Lower Egypt. I'm the son of the lotus flower and the papyrus. The plant of papyrus. The Ark is one of the oldest ever found. That's from 3800 A.C. Which was used to transport it by the Nile. Here is the image of Hatshepsut. The one we saw in the temple of Hatshepsut. By the area of Luxor. It's a mystery because 25% of the museum is dedicated to all the treasures that were found in Tutankhamun's tomb. It was discovered in 1922 by chance. Because she was buried in the Valley of the Kings. But I had been buried while they were making another tomb on top. Well, they came to the looting and found it. And then there's a tomb that was found full of treasures. You are impressive. It's impressive because here are all the jewels that were in the sarcophagus. In the whole tomb of Tutankhamun. Here's how they found out. And of course there are hundreds and hundreds of jewels. Of those who are still in the car he used to go hunting, the throne. The tomb is less grandiose, so to speak. Because it was the tomb of a noble because he died and they didn't have time. No one built the tomb or anything. So they used the tomb. I could see very little. Then what would the tombs look like. They are figurines that represent the dead in the tomb. So that Pharaoh would have servants in eternal life. Here in the museum there are also mummies of Ramses. Ramses II, Ramses III, and Hatshepsut. So I'll leave you now the images of how the mummies are. Because they're very well preserved. Like the tomb of Tutankhamun was so tiny. Because as he said Mara used the one of a noble. Well, there's no cabía on the walls. Because above the paintings that are in the tomb are those of the noble. Then I can tell the whole story. What they used was to create the boxes. These boxes are here. They made it look like Russian dolls. The first time I had a double sarcophagus. It was normal for some Pharaohs to have that double sarcophagus. And then they were creating these boxes that are here. Telling all his story. And as if I didn't, I was making a bigger box every time. Iban putting the little over the big and so on. About five or six times. To be able to tell the whole story. So that's why it's all this hallway. With all the boxes that were covering the different sarcophagi. Here we have the mummy sales. That they didn't do sales as they thought. Otherwise they'd use clothes and all kinds of... Seclaban recipe, you know. The screens they used for other things. And the process of mummification was quite curious. It was obviously Anubis. That is the god of mummification. The priest dressed as Anubis. With the mask and everything. You were gonna quit everything, weren't you? They made him a cortecito. I don't know exactly which part. But good, I was emptying the vital organs. You're the brain. He's got a little nose-scraping with the lipoabon. You're going to get it. The only thing they left was the heart. You need the kidneys too. Because it was hard to reach. But the heart can...
