CAIRO: Ancient Egyptian artifacts that were part of a touring exhibition to Europe and the US have returned home, the country’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has said.
“The Secrets of Sunken Egypt” featured items that had been discovered underwater, in the Mediterranean Sea, in Alexandria.
Mostafa Waziry, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the show had achieved great success in all of its host cities.
Waziry added that the exhibition began its worldwide tour at the Institute of the Arab World in Paris in 2015, moving to the British Museum and then onto Zurich’s Rietberg Museum, which was the last stop in its European journey.
