We went to the
Albany Institute of History and Art today and saw the
Excavating Egypt exhibit. There were over 200 artifacts from ancient Egypt on display including 2 mummies! I find it amazing that the items were so well preserved, given the fact that they are 4000 years old (and older). There are some pics of the
mummies over in the photos section...take a look.
