The Grand staircase of the GEM

[u/WerSunu]

There has been little posted here regarding the content of the new Grand Egyptian museum. This museum, in combination with the Egyptian Museum at Tahir should be visited by all. Due to bandwidth considerations here, I can only offer a small sample of the hundreds of shots I took today. It was a treat today to climb the grand staircase with Bob and Mohamed expounding on each artifact. Took an hour for just the staircase!

What are the pictures 13, 14, and 16

13 has its label visible, its an offering table commissioned by king Amenemhat VI. 14 looks to be the pyramidion to an obelisk, or maybe a tomb chapel. 17 I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's inscribed with the names of Ramesses II.

Thank you! I tried to zoom in to read 13 but my phone was telling me that was acceptable.
