So on Friday, October 13th, my History teacher, Anna Boozer, took our class to the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art. We went to see the Ancient Egyptian Exhibit, because we were currently studying ancient Egyptian civilization at that time. We saw a lot of interesting things. There were a lot of well preserved artifacts that were beautifully detailed. We had to be there at three fifteen in the afternoon, and I got there early because I knew I was probably going to get lost. I was right, I got pretty lost. I was wandering around the museum for like thirty minutes, with no ticket and no one stopped me. Honestly, that is pretty bad security, how unsafe to be honest. I only got a ticket once I went up to some lady and was like “am I supposed to have a ticket?” and she was like, “No one gave you a ticket yet?!” That was when she finally gave me a ticket. Then, I got lost a little more until I found a security guard. The security guard was nice enough to show me the way to the group meet up section where I was supposed to meet my teacher. I asked about her at the desk and they told me that she was going to be late because she had a tour right before our tour. I found this girl Jasmine from class and I chilled with her until everyone else showed up. Then, we finally went to the Egyptian exhibit. We saw artifacts from tombs and different statues. One thing that stands out the most to me was the offering bearer statue (attached is the picture of it). It was put in tombs of high class citizens to protect and guide them in the afterlife. It was believed to give them spiritual food and other necessities for eternity.
