Eternal kingdom: Ancient egypt & the Louvre
Before Rome. Before Paris. Before empire as we know it — there was the Nile.
This private guided experience through the Egyptian Antiquities collection at the Musée du Louvre explores one of the most enduring civilizations in human history. From colossal statues of pharaohs to intimate funerary objects, we trace how ancient Egypt constructed a vision of eternity — political, spiritual, and architectural.
Together, we examine the divine kingship of the pharaoh, the symbolism of hieroglyphs, the ritual logic of mummification, and the elaborate cosmology that shaped temple and tomb alike. We encounter monumental figures such as the Great Sphinx and royal guardians, but also the fragile beauty of everyday artifacts designed to secure immortality.
This is not simply a walk through antiquity. It is an exploration of how a civilization built itself around the afterlife — how power, religion, mathematics, and myth fused into a coherent worldview that lasted over three millennia.
Ideal for travelers drawn to mythology, sacred symbolism, ancient science, and the eternal question of what survives us.
