‘Royal Mummies Moved to New Resting Place in Spectacular Golden Parade in Egypt’

Egypt has held a gala parade to celebrate the transportation of 22 prized royal mummies.

The mummies were taken from central Cairo to their new resting place further south in the capital.

The ceremony was designed to showcase the country’s rich heritage in an effort to attract tourists.

The vehicles were designed to resemble the ancient boats used to carry deceased pharaohs to their tombs.

The 18 mummies - including Ramses II and Queen Hatshepsut - were originally buried 3,000 years ago.

Once at the new museum, 20 of the mummies will be displayed, while the remaining two will be stored.
