"I am not one who was born in the possession of knowledge; I am one who is fond of antiquity, and earnest in seeking it there."

Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum

The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum began with one small artifact, a Sekhmet (lion goddess) statue, which stood on the desk of H. Spencer Lewis, the founder of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC. Today the Museum, with over 4,000 artifacts, houses the largest collection of authentic ancient Egyptian artifacts on display in Western North America. The Museum hosts more than 100,000 guests per year, including 26,000 school children. The Museum, Alchemy Garden and Planetarium have become an educational institution that uses trans-disciplinary approaches to increase knowledge about the past, present, future.

Saturday and sunday: 1:30, 2:30, 3:30 and 4:30 pm, tomb description.

Modeled after several rock-cut tombs found at the Beni Hasan cemetery site in Middle Egypt, this tomb was constructed to show a style found during the Middle Kingdom (2066 – 1650 BCE). Beni Hasan was a popular burial site during the Middle Kingdom with Nomarchs – provincial administration officials. This area houses over thirty tombs, of which only a few are open to the public. This composite replica contains many images from the tomb of Khnumhotep II – a nomarch of the Twelfth Dynasty.

Rock-cut tombs during the Middle Kingdom were cut into naturally occurring rock formations to create chambers. The entrance would have a lintel, above which contained an inscription that named the tomb’s owner, described the family’s affiliation(s), and praised the deity of the deceased.  The entrance would also contain columns that would lead a visitor into an offering chamber . 

The offering chamber served as a place where the friends and family of the deceased gave donations. These donations would be everyday items needed in the afterlife, such as food and drink. Generally, items would be offered to the deceased by either a friend, a family member, or a Ka priest. The Ka – or soul – of the deceased would take the spirit of the offerings to the afterlife. During the Middle Kingdom, these offerings were placed in front of a false door , or spirit door.

Many tombs would have a second chamber behind the false door or underneath the offering chamber, known as the burial chamber. This chamber housed the mummy of the deceased and was closed to the public after the funeral. At the center of the chamber would be a shaft, which would contain the sarcophagus. The surrounding walls of the burial chamber would have an array of images that would not only show the different aspects of the deceased’s daily life, but also the journey the person would take into the afterlife.

Moscow city 360-degree virtual reality tour.

Take the virtual tour of the kremlin, moscow river, saint basil’s cathedral and red square.

The Moscow Kremlin  usually referred to as the Kremlin, is a fortified complex at the heart of Moscow, overlooking the Moskva River to the south, Saint Basil’s Cathedral and Red Square to the east, and the Alexander Garden to the west.

It is the best known of the Kremlins (Russian citadels) and includes five palaces, four cathedrals, and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers. Also within this complex is the Grand Kremlin Palace. The complex serves as the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation.

The name “Kremlin” means “fortress inside a city”, and is often also used metonymically to refer to the government of the Russian Federation in a similar sense to how “White House” is used to refer to the Executive Office of the President of the United States. It had previously been used to refer to the government of the Soviet Union (1922–1991) and its highest members (such as general secretaries, premiers, presidents, ministers, and commissars). The term “Kremlinology” refers to the study of Soviet and Russian politics.

All of Moscow’s main streets start at  Red Square , so it’s easy to see why this is considered the heart of the city. A massive space of 330 meters by 70 meters, the square is flanked by the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum, two cathedrals, and the State Historical Museum. In 1945, a massive Victory Parade was held here to celebrate the defeat of Nazi Germany by the Soviet Armed Forces.

St. Basil’s Cathedral , one of the most recognizable buildings on the square, was built in 1555. The unique cathedral has architectural details inspired by Byzantine and Asian designs, as well as details that resemble those found in famous mosques. There are nine individual chapels inside the church, all decorated with colourful mural art.

Yuri Gagarin Is the First Man in Space. Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin was a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut. He was the first human to journey into outer space, when his Vostok spacecraft completed an orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961
