Sakkara Dynasty Ancient Egypt Exhibition at the Shanghai Museum

🌟Highlights: The ancient Egyptians had a long tradition of "pilgrimage." The ancient religious centers were not only destinations for them to worship and participate in religious ceremonies, but also places where they chose cemeteries or built temples, so ancient tombs were often reused. Sakkara is such a holy place. In the 3,000-year history of ancient Egypt, the tomb-building activities in Sakkara never stopped, and there were three peaks, namely, the Early Dynastic Period and the Old Kingdom, the late New Kingdom after the religious reform of Akhenaten, and the 26th Dynasty to the Greco-Roman period. Each peak of tomb-building was a retro move to return to tradition. ❤Recommended reason: The ancient Egyptians regarded the capital Memphis as the beginning of their history. It is a holy place, a memory, and a real history of thought based on these two. As a holy place for the ancient Egyptians to create cultural memories, the core cemetery of Memphis, Sakkara, has left traces of religious practices and ceremonial celebrations of various eras. In different historical periods, it brought the same hope to people. 📍Detailed address: 201 Renmin Avenue, Huangpu District, Shanghai 🚉Transportation guide: Shanghai Metro Line 2, Science and Technology Museum Station 🕙Business hours: 9:00–17:00 📝Notes: Buy tickets in advance to visit
