The Brooklyn museum also has a dedicated section for Egyptian arts and culture. It also has a mummy chamber where they have 4 mummies which they have collected over the period of time. Last they opened one of the mummies took it for CT scan and found lots of information about it. They have details about how the process is done and why the bodies don't decompose over the period of time. It was interesting to see how advanced method they have used 2500 years before.
There was a separate room for Egypt arts and culture where they had tablets written in ancient Egyptian scripts which fully consists of pictures. My Egyptian friend had earlier given me the ancient alphabetical scripts synchronised to our English alphabets which I have attached below. So I was trying to correlate few of the alphabets.Good thing about writing it tablets is that it never gets destroyed. It sad to know most of our manuscripts were lost because they were written in ஓலை சுவடி which decomposes very quickly.

While returning back from this section I crossed into a familiar looking girl in museum, more about this later :)

@Sundu,
If ஓலை சுவடி decomposes quickly, ... how come your ஓலை சுவடி has been saved for long time..... Luck you!:):)
