Hey there! Have you ever been curious about ancient Egypt? 🏺🌟 Here’s some exciting news! The Shanghai Museum is hosting an incredible exhibition called “On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt“, and it’s a huge success! 🎉
During the Spring Festival holiday, from January 28 to February 4, the museum was filled with visitors. Many families chose to “celebrate the New Year with culture”! 🧧🎭
The exhibition is co-hosted by the Shanghai Museum and the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities. It runs from July 19, 2024, all the way until August 17, 2025. That’s plenty of time to plan a visit! 📅
So, what’s waiting for you there? Over 788 amazing artifacts! Artifacts are special objects made by people long ago. You’ll see statues of pharaohs (they were the kings of ancient Egypt 👑), mummy sarcophagi (that’s the decorated coffins where mummies were placed 🛌), and lots of shiny gold jewelry! 💎✨
Here’s something really cool: More than 95% of these treasures are being shown in Asia for the very first time! 🌍 That’s probably why over 1.4 million people have already bought tickets. And guess what? Over 70% of visitors came from other provinces, cities, and even other countries! ✈️
If you’re fascinated by pyramids 🏜️, hieroglyphics (that’s the writing system ancient Egyptians used 📜), and ancient mysteries, this exhibition is perfect for you! Don’t miss this chance to travel back in time and discover the wonders of ancient Egypt! 🐫✨
Ask your parents or friends to plan a trip to the Shanghai Museum. Who knows, you might just unlock the secrets of the pharaohs! 🔍🎒
