resents the full range of the richness and diversity of Egyptian civilization

throughout the ages, from prehistoric times to the present day by focusing on its continuity and stability as demonstrated by its tangible and intangible heritage. The museum’s exceptional collection includes the royal mummies, which are exhibited in a new interactive display using 21st century cutting-edge technology to go beneath the wrappings and reveal their secrets, in addition to shedding light on the rituals and religious beliefs surrounding mummification in ancient Egypt.

King Thutmose III

Too young to rule after the death of his father, Thutmose III began his reign as monarch in name only. His stepmother, Hatshepsut, served as his regent for several years, and then declared herself pharaoh.
For the next two decades, the young monarch grew into what would become his eventual role as one of the warrior pharaohs of the New Kingdom. After her death, he launched a series of military campaigns that solidified Egypt’s position as one of the region’s superpowers. His battle at Megiddo is considered a model of military strategy.
Discovered in the Deir el-Bahari Cache (TT 320), west of Luxor in 1881, the Mummy of the king will be transferred with the royal mummies in The Pharaohs’ Golden Parade from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir to the National Museum of the Egyptian Civilization on April 3, 2021.

The date is set for The Pharaohs’ Golden Parade, where 22 mummies will gracefully roam the streets of Cairo from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. Don’t miss this unrivalled, once in a lifetime event. Stay tuned for The Pharoahs’ Golden Parade on the 3rd of April 2021!
