What is The Pharaohs' Golden Parade?
The Pharaohs' Golden Parade, held on 3 April 2021 in Cairo, was the once-in-a-lifetime procession that carried 22 royal mummies of New Kingdom pharaohs and queens from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square to their new home at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat. Stretched across about 7 kilometres and broadcast live on state television, the parade was a meticulously choreographed tribute to the pharaohs themselves, with each mummy placed in a climate-controlled, gold-trimmed capsule aboard a royal float designed to evoke the boats of the ancient Nile. The Royal Hall of Mummies, where the 22 royals — including Ramesses II, Seqenenre Tao and Hatshepsut — were installed, opened to the public on 18 April 2021.
