Excerpt from Up and Down the Nile, or Young Adventurers in Africa While it was impossible to give in detail the wonders of the Museums of Bulak and Gizeh, some of their prominent curiosities are mentioned, particularly some of the latest, and perhaps most important discoveries which have been placed on exhibition, including those of hardly a dozen years since they were brought forth from the gloom of their ancient tombs. It seems hardly credible that the remains of the particular Pharaoh who perse outed the children of Israel, of whom the young people have read in the Bible, should be still pres ent in his mummied flesh on the face of the earth, as our party gazed upon them.
