The procession of Egyptian royal mummies arrives at the Museum of Civilization amid a solemn historical celebration

In a majestic historical scene, the procession of royal
mummies set off from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir
Square, in the center of the Egyptian capital, Cairo,
on Saturday evening, to the National Museum of Egyptian
Civilization in Fustat, south of the capital, where the royal
mummies will rest in their final resting place

The royal procession, consisting of 22 mummies (18 kings and four queens), was greeted upon its arrival at the Civilization Museum by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and the honor guard fired 21 rounds of salute to the kings of Egypt in front of the museum.

Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Khaled El-Anany said that King Seqenen Ra will lead the procession of kings on their last trip to the Museum of Civilization in a reverent manner. And that's after they spent 100 years in the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir.

The procession proceeded through wagons decorated with pharaonic drawings and inscriptions and equipped with a special atmosphere that contains nitrogen so that the mummies are in suitable conditions for transportation.

The procession took about 40 minutes, covering seven kilometers. It was led by King Seqenen Ra of the Seventeenth Pharaonic Dynasty (16th century BC), and at the back by King Ramses IX of the Twentieth Dynasty (12th century BC). It also included King Ramses II and Queen Hatshepsut.
