Eternal Egypt : Being an Ancient Egyptian 5000 years ago meant believing in a multitude of deities and the afterlife.

Even today, Egypt is still synonymous with the legends of the Ancient Egyptians. Names like Ramses and Cleopatra, Tutankhamun and Nefertiti, echo through the art and literature of the world's different cultures. The temples, the mummies and the pyramids, with their mysterious origins still fascinates school children, grown-ups, and even Egyptologists.

From their remarkably advanced knowledge of astronomy, mathematics and mummification to the sleek beauty of their manuscripts, jewellery and monuments, the Great Pharaonic Kingdoms left a vast and sophisticated legacy of mythology, arts and sciences over the course of 5,000 years, that still touch our modern lives.
