On the evening of April 3, local time, the Egyptian government held a grand "moving house" handover ceremony and parade for the mummies of 22 famous kings, queens and queens.
The convoy carrying the mummies traveled through the streets of Cairo, Egypt, to the "new home" Egyptian Civilization Museum.
According to reports, this special parade will consist of 18 "kings" and 4 "queen and queens". It is called "Pharaoh's Golden Parade" and lasts about 40 minutes.
According to the report, 22 mummies were transferred from the Egyptian Museum, which has been exhibited for decades in the center of Cairo, to the Egyptian Civilization Museum on a float decorated in ancient Egyptian style.
Among them are Tao II and Ramses II, who have the title of "Brave", and the mummy of Queen Hatshepsut, the most powerful female pharaoh.
Egyptian President Sisi, Prime Minister Madbouli and others attended the handover ceremony that night.
The well-known Egyptian symphony orchestra and many famous singers will perform and participate in the celebration.
On both sides of the parade channel, people dressed in ancient Egyptian costumes also welcomed them.
The report pointed out that Egypt's move is aimed at creating new tourist attractions.
The main hall of the Egyptian Civilization Museum will be open to the public on the 4th, and the hall where the mummies are stored will be open to the public on the 18th.
