Group H visited the Brooklyn Museum's exhibit To Live Forever: Art of the Egyptian Afterlife. We found many interesting objects including sarcophagi, mummies, canopic jars, amulets, Roman-Egyptian busts, and pieces from the Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead.
Check out a cool CT scan of a mummy here. What really IS inside all that linen wrapping? There are also some videos from the curators of the exhibit. Check it!
Luckily the day was so beautiful. We picnicked on the steps of the museum and ended our visit with some Frisbee in Prospect Park. Did you know Rabab is a wicked, elegant Frisbee player? She helped teach everyone else how to throw. Now all we need is a little more practice . . .
Check out the PICS!
