Bob visits Ancient Egypt in The Field Museum in Chicago

One thing Bob learned while he was on vacation in Chicago...It's really hard to blog on vacation!

Bob stayed up late and got up early and fell asleep trying to blog. So he took a few days to recuperate from his trip but now he's ready to continue his blog and tell you all about the fun he had sightseeing in Chicago.


On Bob's 4th day in Chicago he went to The Field Museum of Natural History.

Bob loves history so he couldn't think of a better place to visit.
The museum was so big he didn't get to see everything it had to offer.  But Bob had such a good time he didn't want to leave anything out so he is going to blog separately about each time period he went through.









Bob started with Inside Ancient Egypt and learned all about mummys.

It was cool and gross at the same time!

The mummies Bob saw were thousands of years old.















Bob learned the ancient Egyptians believed their mummy would live again so they made tomes and filled them with stuff they might want in the after life.

These are some of the treasures.

This is an ancient Egyptian dwelling.                          Ancient Egyptian boat.

                               

Bob wanted

to take that boat on the Nile marsh. 

He wondered if it there would be crocodiles in that 

marsh?

Bob learned about lithographs.

He liked them so much he
decide to be part of one!
Can you find Bob?

Bob climbed the Sen-wosret's pyramid. 

built for the pharaoh, this pyramid must have been dazzling. Its polished limestone would have reflected the sun. It ascended 250 feet.

Later Bob visited the Cat Goddess. It made him a little nervous.

Cats were highly regarded in ancient Egypt. 

If you can't beat them
join them!

Bob enjoyed his trip through ancient Egypt. He would love to go again sometime. Bob would love to hear about your trip to a museum. Email him or leave a message.
