Following Teacher Mumu to Explore Egypt

Time flies like a sped-up video—just four days passed in a flash~~~ The photos on my phone go from recent to distant, and memories flutter their wings like pigeons 🕊️ in a temple. From the initial shyness when we first met at the Egyptian Museum to the reluctance to part on the last day, so many feelings arose. Egypt’s culture and history are long-standing, and Teacher Mumu gave thorough explanations and clarifications based on our energy levels and understanding. The Egyptian Museum quickly helped everyone organize the timeline of Egypt’s four historical stages from all directions—east, south, west, and north. The pyramids and the Great Sphinx stood right before us, just like in history textbooks but also completely different—majestic and grand. The recent weather was just right; the sun was shining but there was wind, and it got a bit chilly in the shade. The Grand Egyptian Museum needs no introduction. With 12 exhibition halls, it clearly and comprehensively explains Egypt’s four historical periods. One can’t help but marvel at how so many civilizations and artifacts have been preserved. Tutankhamun, the museum’s treasure, is of course a highlight, but note that cameras 📷 are not allowed in his exhibition hall—only mobile phones can be used for photos 🤳. Teacher Mumu said this was the first time encountering such a rule recently~~~ Later, we flew to Luxor with him. I have to say, he was incredibly dedicated. After landing on the morning flight, the Karnak Temple 🛕 tour started at 10:30 AM. At 4 PM, we all took a sailboat on the Nile River, laughing and having fun together—so happy~~~ The Luxor night tour was stunningly beautiful 😍. On the last day, we visited the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, and the Ramesseum. KV17 is highly recommended—beautiful and exquisite, with richly colored and vivid murals. Worth every penny. In the afternoon, we headed to Hurghada. Teacher Mumu said he had a reception the day after tomorrow and couldn’t get a suitable flight ticket, so he took the bus with us to Hurghada and got off at the fork near the Castle Hotel. Parting is for a better reunion, just like the indispensable cycle in Egyptian culture. May our friendship last forever. If you ever come to Nanjing, we’ll introduce you to Chinese history together~~~ Wishing Teacher Mumu good health and hoping he spreads more profound Egyptian culture.
