Behind its walls

This is one of the buildings I drive past every day - the Egyptian National Museum. Behind its walls you'll find the golden mask of King Tutankhamun, you'll find the mummies of ancient kings and queens, statues, jewels, chariots - all the remnants of an era that was the crowning glory of this country.

Look at us now.
