| Egypt Today - Museums |
| The most enduring images of Egypt are its pharaonic treasures and its history,
such as the relics and artifacts that live in Cairo's Egyptian Museum. But with a written history stretching back to 3,100 BC, at the time of Greek,
Roman, Coptic and Islamic empires, every age and culture demands a museum of its own. |
