Egyptology News: The Pharaohs' Parade

Splendour and Ceremony. On April 3rd, 2021, Egypt hosted a magnificent celebration. Royal mummies, including Kings and Queens, departed their old home and made for a new one. In future, these rulers will reside in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. Moving the royal mummies was a complex, grandiose event. I report on the parade, and the historical background of these famous mummies… Recordings of the parade on YouTube Musical performance by Amira Salim and Ahmed Mounib Cairo residents cheer the parade, by Rania Atef on Twitter Details of the performance by Heba Abd el Gawad on Twitter Photos at Ahram.
