The Pharaohs in Egypt have a new "home"!

It is the newly-built National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, whose main hall was open for visitors for the first time on Sunday. Egypt moved on Saturday 22 Pharaohs' mummies, including 18 kings and four queens, from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo to the new museum in a meticulously planned festive "The Pharaoh's Golden Parade."
