GONE FISHING...........

MERENPTAH

I finally get to see the real Mummies, esp Merenptah, the 13th son of Ramses II (Mr K's favourite - not the mummy but the pronounciation of his name by our tourist guide in Cairo).
Unfortunately cameras were not allowed in the Mummy Museum and we were not even allowed to talk in the room....hmmm I wonder why? Takut mummy terkejut kot...heheh.........

Controversy exists about whether or not he was ruling during the Biblical exodus when Moses (PBUH) fled Egypt and crossed the Red Sea. In Exodus, it states that the Pharaoh and his chariots drowned in the sea chasing Moses. Indeed, the mummy of Mernatapah or Merenptah is noticeably whitened, with half-eaten toes and fingers, and it's speculated that he died by drowning. Hmmmm...

However, i found a picture of Merenptah in the net, he look exactly the same like the one we saw in the museum...heheheeh...
