dr salima ikram, professor of egyptology at the american university in cairo, explained why this is such an important moment. i think, well, it's two reasons. one, of course, it emphasises national pride. we are seeing the last kings of egypt travelling through their capital city. and this gives everyone a chance to pay them their respects. but also, it's very important in terms of the economic future of egypt, because this also is related to tourism, and hopefully once corona is over, the pharaohs will be a draw for more tourists to come and visit egypt, and also raise awareness with the egyptians that they too can go and learn more about their history in this new museum. the reason that the royalty is being moved is that, in fact, several years ago, a plan was made that this new museum of egyptian civilisation would host them in a better, sort of, environment — more climate controlled, more space and with a new concept behind the display, so that the mummies would have more individual cases, a space for their history as well, artefacts that were found with them, their coffins as well
