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.
