Each mummy was placed on a private car decorated elaborately, accompanied by convoys, music, lights and horses. The “Golden Parade of the Pharaohs” will travel along the Nile and then to Egypt’s first Islamic capital, Al-Fustat, in the old Cairo area, and then to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. Photo: CBS The group of mummies participating in the parade includes 18 kings, four queens of ancient Egypt’s 17th to 20th dynasties, about 3,100 to 3,500 years ago. Most mummified fish have been found in two archaeological sites at Luxor in the late 1800s. Over the course of more than 3,000 years, these kings and queens have been transferred from tomb to tomb, from capital to capital, from museum to museum. Many people hope that after the April 2 parade, they will be at peace. According to analysts, the upcoming parade is underway as a way to restore interest in Egyptian tourism in the midst of a global recovery in tourism. Many Egyptians, including the government of this country, want the event to go well. The entire parade will be broadcast online by the Ministry of Tourism of this country.

Among the mummies were kings Ramses II, Seti I, Seqenenre and Tuthmosis III, and there were also four queens: Ahmose-Nefertari, Tiye, Meritamun and Hatshepsut.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was present at the welcome ceremony. The convoy carrying 22 Egyptian pharaohs went along the capital Cairo.

These casks were placed on sturdy golden wagons to minimize shaking. “We chose the Civilization Museum because we wanted to display the mummies scientifically, not just for viewing as in the Egyptian Museum,” Mr. Hawass said.

In recent weeks, Egypt has experienced a series of unfortunate incidents – including the congestion of the Suez Canal, a fatal train crash, a garment factory fire and a building collapse. apartment. These incidents “revive” the myth of the “curse of the pharaoh”. However, with 18 ancient kings and four queens finally settling down in the new and spacious home, perhaps no one will ever repeat the goosebumps again.
