Egyptian mummies pass through Cairo in parade worthy of royals Royal mummies pass through Cairo in gala parade Replay Video UP NEXT Nearly a century and a half after entering Egypt labeled as salted fish due to their obscurity, nearly two dozen Egyptian mummies were celebrated in a grand parade in Cairo on Saturday. Twenty-two mummies, 18 kings and four queens, were treated as royals as they were conveyed from the 120-year-old Egyptian Museum in Cairo s central Tahrir Square to the newly inaugurated National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in the old Islamic city of Fustat. Among the mummies were that of Ramses II, a New Kingdom ruler whose reign lasted for 67 years and who signed the world s first-known peace treaty; Hatshepsut, who defied gender norms to become a queen in the 18th dynasty era; and Seqenenra Taa, who is best known for initiating a liberation war against the Hyksos.

But within just a few years, Pokémon, a portmanteau of the Japanese name Poketto Monsuta, was a global phenomenon.
