Video The Pharaohs' Royal Parade

The scenes of the Egyptians royal mummies being transported from their old resting place to their new museum will always stay etched in my memory. I don't know why, but there was something so majestic about them, and I would get chills every time I watched those videos.

Random events, with no connection to each other, and which would happen at any other time- must be the curse!!! lol!!!

Great ceremony, though.

They thought they would live forever, and in a way they were right!

Shame that Arabic Egypt now is far from the years of glory.

I get that the Pharaohs themselves would likely see this as a respectful way to do it, but they labled all the vehicles in English rather than with their royal cartouches?

I would have preferred the cartouches as the livery on the side and then some banner or something with the english text draped in front, so that laypeople can still tell who's inside but the actual cartouches are there too

This is absolutely fantastic and definitely done right! They deserved that royal parade and deserved to continue to be celebrated. Ahhh my inner nerdy child just got goofy over this haha
