Vincent Poon :: The Village Itself...
Having enjoyed such "marvelous" actings during the boat cruise, it is finally time for some walking myself. Once you disembarked at the entrance of the village, you will be greeted by an english-speaking guide (can speak english that can be understood) who would take you through all the musuems around the village.

The most impressive I must say is the Tomb of Tutankhamen. As they say, 'In the valley of the kings, you only see the empty tomb. In the Egyptian Museum, you only see the contents of the tomb. But in here, you see them all, shown exactly as they were found by Howard Carter in 1922'....

The Village Temple... wait a minute, doesn't it look like the Temple of Karnak?
The shrine inside the temple.

The wife in the Nobleman's house. (There is also a peasant's house nearby)

The Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs explained..
The poor man in the peasant's house is trying to light a fire!
And I reckon he is a magician in disguise since he can light up a fire within 3 seconds of rubbing. (actually he had some gunpowder on the wood already)
The Bazaar is selling all the hand-made handicrafts. E.g. perfume bottle making, copper etching, etc.. it is quite impressive.

Tomb of Tutankhamen - The Treasury: This room contained some of the richest pieces in the tomb. The cube is the gilded canopic shrine decorated with scared cobras and sun-disks, with round the sides the four goddesses, Isis, Nephthys, Neith and Selket, who are stretching out their arms to protect the royal viscera (ie the four organs of the King)
