Egypt
Review: Allard Pierson Museum, Amsterdam
http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/11/03/travel/trlede4.php
A four page review on the Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam, which houses Greek, Roman, Etruscan and Egyptian collections: "The Egyptians were great believers in magic, as is evident from a pair of papyrus slippers that were found in one grave. They are displayed so that the visitor can see inscriptions on the bottom of each slipper that give instructions for how to crush one's enemy. There is also a small ivory wand that had been placed in a baby's cradle. Decorated with an array of animals, it was supposed to help ward off the scorpions and snakes that might harm a newborn". See the International Herald Tribune site for the full review.
