This morning it was cloudy and comfortable. I was really questioning my inside plans for the week. Then the sun came out, and now it's just hot and humid.
Today we will visit the air conditioned Nelson-Atkins. I started in the Egypt section. Every time I have tried to go there before a school field trip was there.
Sarcophagus
This is what the sarcophagus is put in.
Mummy of Ka-i-nefer
He was a man 45 to 55 and roughly 5'5".
One of my favorites
About the size of a half dollar
Horus as a Hawk
Heracles
I seem to love melty faces
Greek Mirror.
The round part would be highly polished.
Antinous
Busts
Roman Sarcophagus
It's beautiful
Silver cross
I have been looking for this for awhile.
I have asked multiple guides.
Saint John the Baptist's finger is in the glass cylinder.
Fighting a dragon
This was on the way out.
My lower back can take about 2 hours of looking at a museum. Please understand for every picture I post I have taken 10 more. I just post things I like or find interesting.
Quick stop at Lowes and Price Chopper then home. It's even hotter than before.
Until tomorrow.
