Pedro I acquired the first Brazilian collection of Egyptian antiquities. The fact must cont as one of the most significant early steps of the relationship of Brazil with ancient Egypt. This collection of Egyptian artifacts is housed at the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro and it is considered the oldest and the most important in South America. His son, D.
