Egypt in the News: Regional cultural competition + the true face of The Mummy

It’s a relatively calm morning for Egypt in the foreign press, with no single story dominating coverage. The New York Times suggests Egypt’s regional cultural dominance faces a real threat in the form of Saudi Arabia, while the Wall Street Journal takes note of CT scans that revealed the face of the mummified Amenhotep I without disturbing his remains. The WaPo’s editorial board is also critical of Egypt’s human rights strategy.
