The Pharaohs’ Golden Parade took place in Cairo, Egypt, on April 3rd. It celebrated the country’s history, transporting twenty-two royal mummies from the Egyptian Museum to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. The mummies of eighteen kings and four queens were carried in custom-made vehicles. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event. These are our ancestors,” Sarah Zaher, a parade attendee, told the New York Times.
Exporting and importing ancient marks isn’t always fun. Yes, the scientists can find out what the mummy sounded like using different instruments and devices but opening a mummy can affect you negatively too.
Several weeks ago, at the beginning of 2021, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced its country’s largest discovery of 2020. A fnding of well-preserved wooden coffins that had been buried more than 2,600 years ago.
On Saturday, October 3rd, 2020, archaeologists from Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities opened a sealed, roughly 2,600-year-old sarcophagus as a crowd of onlookers watched.
A myth of what happens when a mummy’s tomb is opened might have come true.
It is said that the curse of the pharaohs or the mummy’s curse is a curse alleged to be cast upon anyone who disturbs the mummy of an ancient Egyptian, especially a pharaoh. This curse, which does not differentiate between thieves and archaeologists, is claimed to cause bad luck, illness, or death.
COVID-19 came right after this event and the world went into lockdown.
“A Phoenix can always rise from the ashes.”
