Here is Bunny Cooper after his train journey, he is at the station in Turin-can you see the train behind him? It is a very fast train, and a nice red colour too.

Do you know what these are?
Did you guess? These are called hieroglyphics and they are a language that was used for writing in ancient Egypt (when the pyramids were built). Bunny Cooper could not read them, though he did think that he recognised some of the shapes, like the bird.
These are statues of special people who lived in Egypt many, many years ago.
What does this look like? Well, it's a cat. the Egyptians liked cats very much and when their favourite cat died they were prepared in a special way and wrapped up really nice with lots of decorations before they were buried. It was called a 'mummy',
Bunny Cooper thought that was really funny as it did not look like any mummy he knew.
Bunny Cooper was really tired and went to sleep in the museum.
