Turin Egyptian Museum is amazing … seeing faces stare back from 4000 years ago. Egyptians made huge efforts to ensure their lives lived on beyond death. In these exhibits they do. Images of people and lives from thousands of years ago lead us to try and understand how they thought, how they lived. Arms wrapped around each other’s shoulders, their love lives on. Everyday objects, a bed, a side table, 4000 years old but preserved as if they were made yesterday. The array of objects and images is astonishing. Carved from hard volcanic rock, painted with mineral pigments, these objects and images still live like the day they were made. Kings and gods sit silently and stare through the years, unchanged.
