"The lavish, multimillion-dollar spectacle saw 22 mummies - 18 kings and four queens - transported from the peach-coloured, neo-classical Egyptian Museum to their new resting place 5km (three miles) away. With tight security arrangements befitting their royal blood and status as national treasures, the mummies were relocated to the new National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation in what is called The Pharaohs' Golden Parade. They were transported with great fanfare in chronological order of their reigns - from the 17th Dynasty ruler, Seqenenre Taa II, to Ramses IX, who reigned in the 12th Century BC."

At the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation they can catch a Z or two.
Forever mommies and daddies.
It’s a Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging.
There’s a Cairo in Nebraska. It is in Hall County. I got gas there recently.
Can I be the first to say....WHERE ARE THEIR MASKS?
/sarc
But seriously...considering how people in some countries are almost house arrest or having to so things like wear masks on the beach (Spain as of this week)...this is...refreshing.
Even if it's a little nuts.
So cool. Such an amazing history to have, it's cool to see it so honored.
Grateful Dead?
Doubt it.
Looks as alive as President Joe Shitforbrains, and is probably smarter.
Abdel Fattah Saeed Hussein Khalil el-Sisi sounds Pharoish...
He's the man who saved the world from an Islamist Egypt run by the Muslim Brotherhood. He doesn't get much credit but, hey, not all military coups are bad.
So, I have noticed something odd on Twitter the last couple of days. Previously, when I would be viewing someone's feed, there would be three recommendations on the right hand side of Twitterers "You Might Like". I had always thought that they were chosen by the owner of the feed I was looking at- they definitely were writers with similar interests and/or politics. For example, when I would go look at Alex Berenson's feed, it led me to Gummibear, El Gato Malo, The Ethical Skeptic, etc. If I looked at Maggie Halberman's feed, it was usually suggest other journolists and hacks that were recommended. However, in the last two days I have noticed that every single right of center twitterer now has the same three recommendations of what I might like, Barack Obama, Joe Shitforbrains, and Elon Musk. Literally all of them. Does anyone know how that works, or have certain twitterers lost the right to do their own recommendations?
The priests of ancient Egypt were the first members of the Democrat Party — they couldn’t figure out what a brain was good for so they just removed it when they mummified people, and threw it away. 5000 years later they still have no use for brains.

It always amazes me to reflect that we're closer in time to Cleopatra than she was to the early pharoahs. Talk about old regime.

Cairo is upriver here, but Cairo is downriver there
Reminds me of the movie "The Ten Commandments," which I'm watching tonight on ABC. The network has eliminated the prologue, where Cecil B. DeMille addresses the audience and asks "Are men the property of the State?" I can hear Inga, Howard and the other State-fellators who post here replying in a kind of Greek-slave chorus, "Damn real they are!"
It is stunts like this that causes Cargo vessels to jack knife in the Suez Canal.
Seriously, its still a much product than exodus and gods.
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia...
I'm pleased that they treated their historical figures with respect. I suspect that a similar situation the US would create objections and riots if historical leaders (slaveholders) had exhibitions that needed to be moved from one part of DC to another.
I'd say this is all for the gratification of the living. Respect and all that is fine and good, but, but, remember all these dried souls are (divining Sam Kinison) *Dead*, And They Don't Care No Mo...
Just finished watching "The Ten Commandments." When Heston as Moses exhorts his followers to "proclaim liberty throughout the land," I feel a thrill and get a little verklempt; but I an imagine liberty-phobes such as Inga, Howard, et al, scratching their heads and asking themselves, "Why bother?"
All but one voted Biden.
A night at the museum: Hercule Poirot and The case of the dancing mummies.
