In a resplendent ceremony watched by hundreds of millions of people worldwide, Egypt transported 22 ancient mummies through Cairo to a new national museum on Sunday, in what was called the Golden Parade.
The 18 kings and four queens were moved from the Egyptian Museum in central Cairo, where they had been exhibited since the early 1900s, to a new museum six kilometres to the south, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation, a vast new facility located in Fustat, Islamic Egypt s first capital.
The royal procession of performers in traditional costumes and chariots played on nationalist sentiment and Egypt s historical importance, as those following the event watched the remains of kings and queens more than three millennia-old, slowly parade to their new home.
