Hall of Ancient Egypt When you have a lot of space to work with, new ideas just bubble up. Spanning the length of a football field, the hall gives a wonderful perspective of how dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures once lived and interacted with one another.
But the new building also offered an opportunity to add more items to the museum's dynamic permanent collection. And one area that continues to fascinate the Western World is Ancient Egypt. With hundreds of artifacts dating back more than 5, years, the hall is divided up not by time period but by theme.
Five areas offer a glimpse into Egyptian life: environment, religion, politics, mummies and mummification and the discovery of ancient Egypt.

Actually the Earth is turning under the pendulum as it swings. During this time, it will knock down all of the pins. The time required for the pendulum to complete its swing is a function of its length.
The pendulum receives the energy needed to keep swinging from a magnet surrounding the cable at its top. As the pendulum reaches the middle of its swing, it closes a circuit that activates the electromagnet. The magnet pulls the cable away from the center position. The pendulum keeps on swinging as the world turns below. For information on these and other exhibitions at HMNS, please visit their website.
