Mysterious power from an ancient kingdom.

Accompanied by a misty drizzle, I followed the crowd into the Shanghai Museum located at 201 Renmin Avenue, Huangpu District, Shanghai. The two sphinx stone carvings at the main entrance of the museum highlight today's visit theme, mysterious exhibits from an ancient kingdom. 788 ancient Egyptian cultural relics have left their country for the first time and are displayed in Shanghai, China, showing their mysterious power to the world. Perhaps because the enthusiasm for the visit has not diminished, the exhibition will continue until August 17, 2025. The exhibition is divided into three parts: "The Kingdom of the Pharaohs", "The Secret of Saqqara", and "The Age of Tutankhamun". Perhaps because everyone's enthusiasm for the visit has not diminished, the actual visit experience is really not very good. I feel that there is no way to appreciate a piece of cultural relic. The whole visit process is to squeeze in, be pushed to walk, and squeeze out. There are different mobile phones, which will always appear in front of you. If it is not for the circle of friends and prepare to go back and study slowly, then this kind of photography spirit is worth learning. To get back to the point, the most impressive part of the three parts should be in the Kingdom of the Pharaohs. I am very fortunate to rent 3D glasses when I enter the museum. In front of the key cultural relics, I can appreciate the all-round cultural relics without having to squeeze in front of the cultural relics with the crowd. When listening to the description, I can have a vivid understanding of what happened through 3D glasses. The kneeling statue of Hatshepsut shows the first female pharaoh in Egypt. She is naked, wearing a fake beard, completely forgetting the female image, shaping herself like a male ruler, and symbolizing the infinite power she possesses. In the secret exhibition hall of Saqqara, it shows one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in the world today, the well-preserved remains of the cat goddess temple site and the underground joint burial tomb of the cat god priest, and some cat mummies. Most of the exhibitions in the Age of Tutankhamun are coffins and painted masks, jewelry boxes, tables and chairs, daily necessities, etc., showing the wisdom and exquisiteness of ancient Egypt. After visiting the three parts of the exhibition, it will make everyone more yearning for the mysterious ancient Egyptian civilization and culture, and increase the desire to explore more, want to understand more systematically, and have more interest in Egyptian mythology. Ps: The advantages and disadvantages of 3D glasses. The advantage is that it is more vivid and specific, and you can enjoy a short documentary through colorful pictures and bone conduction explanations. The disadvantage is that it is not comprehensive, and it may feel a bit heavy if worn for a long time. The rent is 50 yuan for unlimited time.
