* 22 Kings and Queens that lived around 3,000 years ago were transported in 22 Golden trucks and Chariots to a new resting place.


Egypt held a spectacular parade to transport 22 mummies of its most famous pharaohs from central Cairo to their new resting place at the National Museum of Egyypt Civilization opened in 2017.


The ceremony snaked along the Nile corniche from the Egyptian Museum overlooking Tahrir Square to the newly opened National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat, Cairo, where Egypt's first Islamic capital was located.

The mummies, 18 pharaohs and four other royals were transported in climate-controlled cases loaded onto Golden trucks decorated with wings and pharaonic design for the hour-long journey from their previous home in the older, Egyptian Museum.

They were originally buried around 3,000 years ago in secret tombs in the Valley of Kings and the nearby Deir el-Bahri site. Both areas are near the southern city of Luxor. The tombs were first excavated in the 19th century.

They will build standard things in their country and bring substandard things to Africa

What if i fall

You see this life, I treasure it much ehhhh, I did rather sleep than exploring this kind of thing

Reason why it is good to stick to one partner to avoid stories that touch


To think he was a pastor, what was he preaching to his congregation then...

Goahead:
Partially free

The massive container ship blocking the Suez Canal was straightened and partially refloated early today nearly a week after it ran aground on the vital shipping route and brought billions of dollars' worth of trade to a standstill.


Breakthrough: This picture taken from a tugboat on Monday morning showed the Ever Given substantially straightened, although it remained unclear how long it would take to fully re-open the Suez Canal.

I'm talking about vessels that will want to take the south African route due to the blocked canal


Obviously the ones parked together at the entry point of the canal are well protected.

Also, it seems you think I was talking about the ship that was blocking the canal. No I wasn't.

I was talking about the ships that will have to take another route to get to Asia, which is by going around Africa, and they will be vulnerable to the somali pirates along the route. Piracy is not an easy thing to stop like you think because pirates don't attack ships on river ways or Canals, they do it on open sea where their chances of escape is higher.

timay:
It doesn't stop anything. How many of them will Navy ship monitor at the same time. Las las, Pirate go still collect their own share along the way.

rottable:
Proactive measure should be taken ASAP. The pirate around will see it as an easy target
