22 mummies to parade to museum of civilization on 3 April

Twenty-two mummies will make their way to their new home in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat in a parade on 3 April, the Tourism Ministry said in a statement. This won’t be the first instance of a deceased Egyptian royal parading through Cairo: The transportation of the colossal statue of Ramses II from Ramses square to be displayed in the Egyptian Museum in 2006 drew large crowds.
