When I was in Cairo I went to the mummy room in the museum and was amazed to look into the faces of people I had been studying. I have looked in all my books and I cant find many good pictures of the mummies of the Pharaohs. Has anyone got any links or websites they could add for me to visit so that I can see them in more depth. I would be really grateful as it always hammers it home to me that these people actually lived and moved once, something I sometimes forget. Only the kings though please, I dont want to trawl through 5000 pages of severed hands thanks! lol

Thanks, I found that really interesting. I would like a full body pic of the "elder lady", Amenhotep III and Tuthmosis III.

Wow, Sekhmet. You have come up with the goods yet again! Thankyou so much. Does anyone else feel a real connection when they see the face of these people. I have read and heard so much about them it is just amazing to look into their faces and think about what they did. I hope it isn't just me!

Tuthmoses III

http://www.secker.fsbusiness.co.uk/tuthmosis3.htm His head only the body was just to destroyed, i guess they don't show it for that reason.

The mummy i got a real feel for was that of Ramesses I, when i visited him in Atlanta. So beautiful, he was and real.

Brilliant. Thanks for those pics. I got a feel for Ramses II, just because he is sooooo famous. I also really felt when I saw the mummies of two children, in the Valley of the Nobles. I found it so sad, their plight sort of touched me over the millennia.
