The statue of Ramses II is the first to receive visitors in the Grand Egyptian Museum, in the pyramid, and it was scheduled to be alone in the museum lobby square, which is 2 acres, according to the old display scenario, but at the present time the scenario has changed and some artifacts were placed next to Ramses II in the lobby This is why we review the reason.

In the beginning there was only Ramses II, and this is what Atef Moftah, the supervisor of the Grand Egyptian Museum project and the development of the surrounding area, objected to, because the area of ​​the lobby, which exceeds 2 acres, with an area of ​​8000 meters, has a statue of Ramses only, as the feeling of Ramses II The center of this space is weak, and the ceiling height reaches 35 meters, so it was necessary to add an antique to enrich the lobby.

Because of this, Major General Engineer Atef Moftah spoke with Dr. Hassan Salim, the representative of the Scientific Committee for the Scenario, and they agreed on what he suggested, and 5 large pieces were prepared, including the Merenptah Column and the Royal Statues, which were installed about two months ago, and the Ramses façade was changed from the east to the south direction. East, and will be completed from 10 to 12 pieces located in the lobby, we find the Obelisk Square receives visitors to receive him to King Ramses, then the rest of the kings will be delivered to the great staircase.

55 pieces have been installed on the great staircase, which will contain approximately 72 of the most important and largest Egyptian monuments of the kings of Egypt, which amount to hundreds of tons, and their bases are being finished, and lighting experiments I designed myself on the stairs, until the artifact appears consciously.

In addition, all the pieces to be placed on the Great Stairs of the Grand Egyptian Museum are present in the museum and will be rehabilitated in the restoration center, and once the rehabilitation works are completed, they will be prepared on the Great Staircase with the rest of the pieces installed.
