A description of the Glories of Ancient Egypt exhibition which is showing at Daytona for six months: "Doll-like figures manage the oars on a miniature wooden boat, and suntan-colored pigments still cling to the faces on Old Kingdom limestone low-relief carvings. And it's easy to picture the makeup palette, a small slate tray decorated on one side with delicately carved birds, piled with freshly ground tints and waiting on a lady's dressing table more than 5,000 years ago.
In glass case after glass case, beginning with Egyptian civilization before the first dynasty was established, around 3000 B.C., and moving through time to about 2000 years ago, when Egypt had fallen to Rome, the exhibit sheds light on the distant past".
