Ancient mummies of Egypt s royal pharaohs will emerge from their resting places this weekend and parade through the streets of Cairo in search of a new home.
What sounds like the plot of a movie is in fact part of a lavish celebration of Egypt s history and a project to relocate some of its greatest treasures to a new high tech facility.
On Saturday, the mummies of Ramses the Great and 21 of his fellow pharaohs will take part in what is being billed as The Pharaoh s Golden Parade, a highly anticipated event organized by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
