(CNN) – The ancient mummies of the real pharaohs of Egypt emerge from their resting places this week at the end of the week and parade through the caves of El Cairo in search of a new hogar.
It’s like the tram of a movie, hecho, part of a fast-paced celebration of Egyptian history and a project to transfer some of its major treasures to a new high-tech installation.
On Saturday, the mothers of Ramses the Great and 21 of his companions pharaohs participated in what was announced as “Pharaoh’s parade”, a very hopeful event organized by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Egypt.
It is reported that the celebrations included carriage rides by cavalry, crowds singing in ancient idioms and a plethora of stars and dignitaries, but the Egyptian authorities had maintained the official details of the event.
“It’s a surprise,” said CNN’s Ahmed Ghoneim, executive director of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, the institution that will be the final resting place for mothers.
Without embarrassment, it is difficult to maintain an event of this magnitude as a surprise, especially when recently there have been a number of general incidents in the center of El Cairo. The Egyptian movers took pictures of the vehicles of their mothers in the middle, adorned with antiquated motives and fasting under the social roads.
The final journey of the mothers of Egypt
The object of the parade is transferred to the 18 kingdoms and four kingdoms of Egypt, together with its assets and perceptions, of its antiquity hogar in the Egyptian Museum.
Serán will be transported five kilometers to the south, to his new location of high technology descent at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC).
Nee, no is the huge Gran Museo Egipcio de Giza, which will also be opened to the public in the finals of this year. The NMEC is a completely different museum in the Fustat El Cairo bar that will complete a trio of imperfect Egyptian thematic museums in El Cairo and its surroundings.
Although the NMEC had a partial opening in 2017, the parade marked the grand inauguration.
“It’s a presidential inauguration,” Ghoneim Dice. And the finalization of the Salon de las Momias Reales, which will be a unique museum experience.
“The idea is not for the mothers, the idea is to show the mothers … It is to tell the story, it is the atmosphere, it is the atmosphere that people are entering”, aggregate.

The 22 real moms are from the New Empire, an era in which the tubs were built in a huge way with hidden entrances for protecting the tombstones. A separate world, and one 600 years old, of its extravagant real counterparts from the Ancient Empire who built colossal pyramidal tombs.
Preparing Mom
El Dr. Mostafa Ismail, Chief of Staff of the NMEC and Almacén Conservation Laboratory of the NMEC, directs a team of 48 people to prepare the real momias.
The conservation process, CNN’s day, implies that each mole is packed with an oxygen-free nitrogen capsule “which can be preserved and stored without the effects of humidity, especially strains of bacteria, fungi and insects”.
The capsule is a rod of mixed material that distributes the pressure and reduces the vibrations during transport.
When the momecs read the NMEC, the display units tend to have exactly the same conditions as the nitrogen capsules. “There is no shock to my mother when it comes to the bags and the bags in these units,” agrees Ismail.
Accompanying each mom will have the perks found along with them, including their attachments.
The pants also show computed tomography that reveals what has happened to the wounds and, in some cases, any fractures in the bones or the bones that are applied to the lesion.
“The main thing that we want visitors to know about these moms is how they are modified and preserved for a long time,” he explained.
When the question was revealed to his team about something new about the moms preparing for the dance, Ismail commented: “many things”, but nothing that reveals antelope. There are more surprises to be had.
A new cultural center in El Cairo
Without a doubt the Salon de las Momias Reales will be the star attraction for visitors to the National Museum of Civilization in Egypt, while the executive director Ahmed Ghoneim hopes to position the museum in a different way to its institutions.
“I’m not interested in the pharaonic era as the mayor of the penitentiary,” Dice. “The majority of Egyptians and non-Egyptians, each of whom has an Egyptian museum, thinks he has seen the pharaohs”, he explains. “Here I am established in a different way, I am having a different story, following the story and reading the present”.
The first temporary exhibition will focus on textiles and Egyptian fashion. “Toda la historia, desde las alfombras hasta la ropa”, dice Ghoneim.
Based on the exhibits, the museum tells a rich history of the logs of Egyptian civilization. But the museum will also be a cultural center.
«A place that offers everything, in educational part, in cultural part, in diversification part, in nocturnal comedian, etc. It’s something that is unique », afirma.
And by the end, 3,234 years after his death, Ramses II will finally be back.
The museum will be open to the public on the day of the parade, April 4. The Salon de las Momias Reales will open two weeks later, the 18th of April. The pharaoh’s parade will be broadcast live on the YouTube channel of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
