I have always had an interest in ancient Egyptian history and when learning that the Ramses Exhibition was going to be in Sydney until mid May it was put on the "to do list" and seeing that the middle of May is fast approaching it was time to visit the Museum before this opportunity was lost.
It is hard to imagine that you are standing and looking at pieces of jewellery and other artefacts over 3,000 years old with just a glass case between the object and yourself. What a clever and inventive civilization they were. To think of the primitive implements that were available to them and the massive structures that were built as well as the intricate and fine jewellery pieces that were also created during this time is just amazing.
It was an incredible exhibition and just thinking about the logistics of transporting and setting up all those priceless pieces is mind blowing.
Saw this rainbow late yesterday afternoon from the bedroom window. Just after this photo was taken it disappeared so no chance of finding where the pot of gold was.
Back soon and in the meantime
Happy

Fantastic exhibition. I saw a lot at The Louvre when I was there but never got to the exhibition here in Melbourne a few years ago. They were a very advanced civilisation .
Wonderful exhibition & so interesting to think what they accomplished all those years back.
I would have also loved to have seen the Egyptian exhibit. It has great history which interests me.
What a lovely rainbow - the promise to never flood the earth again back in Noah's day.
