点评:Memphis, the early capitol of Egypt, is now an outdoor museum displaying statues found nearby. I just referred to it as Memphis when booking but its real name, apparently, is the Mit Rahina Museum. The highlight is the colossal statue of Rameses II displayed horizontally just as it was originally found in mud. One side shows the erosion that caused but, on the other side, the detail of the head, the kilt, belt, chest and body can be clearly seen. There are new excavations occurring nearby and new items are being unearthed and displayed in the museum. There is a smaller sphinx, statues of Hathor and the ubiquitous statues of Rameses II. This museum doesn’t need to take a lot of time and is quite close to Dahshur so could be included with a visit there. I visited it in 2018 and was quite glad to come back this year.
翻译:孟菲斯是埃及早期的首都,现在是一个露天博物馆,展示着在附近发现的雕像。我在预订时只提到了孟菲斯,但它的真正名字显然是米特·拉希纳博物馆。亮点是拉美西斯二世的巨型雕像,它水平放置,就像最初在泥浆中发现时一样。一侧显示了造成的侵蚀,而另一侧可以清楚地看到头部、苏格兰短裙、腰带、胸部和身体的细节。附近正在进行新的挖掘,新的物品正在出土并陈列在博物馆中。这里有一个较小的狮身人面像、哈索尔雕像和随处可见的拉美西斯二世雕像。这个博物馆不需要花很多时间,而且离达舒尔很近,所以可以把它包括在参观范围之内。我在 2018 年参观过它,很高兴今年能再来。
