Land of the Pharaohs.

In the Land of the Pharaohs exhibition area, there is a map of ancient Egypt, which shows the country along the Nile River. There is also a timeline of ancient Egyptian history and its corresponding Chinese history. This exhibition area mainly displays ancient Egyptian royal power, divine power, and related pyramids and temples, stone carvings, pottery, stone tools, bone tools, jewelry, painted coffins, etc. Ancient Egypt also has hieroglyphic inscriptions similar to those of ancient Chinese people. It is said that three languages were used to tell the same thing but with different emphases. Chinese characters have been in use all the time. Nearly one third of the oracle bone inscriptions discovered in our country's archaeological excavations have not been deciphered. In fact, I find it difficult to understand how a dead language is deciphered. Each pharaoh's stone carving is very exquisite. It feels like the stone is carved out of granite. The ability of the ancient Egyptians is indeed very strong.
