Discover the rich history of Mit Rahina, an ancient Egyptian site located south of Cairo. Home to the magnificent Colossal limestone statue of Ramses II, Mit Rahina was once the capital city of the Old Kingdom. Wander through the ruins and uncover the secrets of the past, from the intricately decorated Mit Rahina Ware Vessel dating back to 200-100 BC, to the polychrome faience treasures. Marvel at the Alabaster sphinx and the colossal limestone statues, and imagine the caravans that once passed through this land, as depicted in the 1898 painting "Caravan at Mit-Rahina" by Christian Wilhelm Allers. The influence extends beyond Egypt, with connections to ancient civilizations such as Mexico, as seen in the intricately designed masks.
