CAIRO-In a magnificent building with a pyramid structure resting on four columns and with grounds overlooking a lake, the newly opened National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, or NMEC, in Cairo showcases the Egyptian civilization from the predynastic period to the modern age.
Passing through the main door, visitors encounter a tubelike shiny hallway leading to the Main Exhibition Hall, whose entrance leads down to the Royal Mummies Hall underneath.
