Craziest thing ever! Bread from thousands of years ago!!


Blue stone with hieroglyphics on it.


This is the book of the dead which had amazing illustrations and beautiful writing on it. It covered the wall at least 50 feet long.



Statues at the Museo Egitto in Torino. Well worth every Euro. A collection of statues, sarcophagi, tombs, paintings, hieroglyphics, the book of the dead, pottery, jewelry, etc...It was so amazing, I have never seen anything like it.









Street musicians in Torino which could be heard all over the city because of the acoustics.


They saw me taking pictures while they were playing so then at the end of the song they posed for me.
