The world is waiting for the moment of the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum to see the treasures that will be included in the museum, which exceed 50,000 copies, in addition to displaying the collection of the Golden King Tutankhamun's collections for the first time in full to the public, so where did the executive work of the Golden King's work reach?
The Grand Egyptian Museum is continuing the work of implementing the scenario of displaying the holdings of Tutankhamun, as the executive works have arrived within its two display windows, where the display of the king’s holdings has been completed so far, and the holdings have been placed in 75 windows out of 107.
Dr. Al-Tayeb Abbas, Assistant Minister for Archaeological Affairs at the Grand Egyptian Museum, said in previous statements to “The Seventh Day” that Tutankhamun’s mask will be transferred shortly before the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, as it will directly enter into the display scenario, which will be put in place. Very special, as he was allocated a room that serves as a suite to display his mask inside.
It is worth noting that on November 4, 1922, when the British archaeologist and specialist in the history of ancient Egypt, Howard Carter, was excavating at the entrance to the tunnel leading to the tomb of Ramses VI in the Valley of the Kings, he noticed the presence of a large vault and continued to excavate carefully until he entered the room that includes the tomb of Tutankhamun .
On the walls of the room containing the tomb were wonderful drawings that told in the form of pictures the story of Tutankhamun’s departure to the realm of the dead. ?" Carter replied, "Yes, I see wonderful things."
Carter noticed the presence of a wooden chest with inscriptions inlaid with gold in the middle of the room, and when he lifted the box, he noticed that the box was covering a second box decorated with inscriptions inlaid with gold, and when he lifted the second box, he noticed that the second box was covering a third box inlaid with gold. Which was covered with a thick layer of stone carved in the form of a statue of Tutankhamun.
Carter had difficulty lifting the third golden shroud that was covering the mummy of Tutankhamun from the mummy.
After removing the shroud made of cloth, the mummy of Tutankhamun was found with all its decorations of necklaces, rings, crown and sticks, all of which were pure gold. To remove these artifacts, the excavation team had to separate the skull and the main bones from their joints. .
