The Great Egyptian Museum: A new jewel in Gizeh will soon open

in Cairo, which is known for its impressive pyramids, a state -of -the -art location is opened: the Grand Egyptian Museum. This ambitious project is expected to issue over 100,000 artifacts of ancient Egypt and is considered the largest Archaeological Museum in the world. The abbreviation "Gem", which means "gemstone" in German, underlines the enormous importance of the project for Egypt.

After almost ten years of construction, in which the opening has been postponed again and again, the museum is now facing a crucial step: a trial run for 4,000 visitors will carry out. However, the exact opening date is still in the stars. So far, more than one billion dollars have flowed into the implementation of this monumental designed place.

insights into ancient Egyptian culture

The exhibitions in the museum are divided into twelve different rooms and epochs of ancient Egypt. Here visitors can learn more about everyday life, religion as well as social and political structures that prevailed thousands of years ago. The epochs range from the third (1070–664 BC) to the Greek-Roman period (332 BC-395 AD). One room is particularly important: it is dedicated to the statues of the "elite of the king" - a tribute to high -ranking personalities of ancient society.

"The museum is not only a place to exhibit antiquities, but also children should also inspire children for the history of ancient Egypt. The museum is a gift to the whole world," said Eissa Zidan, the general director of restoration and antique transfer of the museum.

Conversion of the exhibits is supplemented by modern technologies such as multimedia presentations and a planned virtual reality experience. These approaches are intended to convey a captivating and easy -to -understand understanding of life in ancient Egypt to visitors. In addition, there is already a shopping area and an impressive staircase that grants a look at the pyramids of the area.

preparations for the big day

al -Tayeb Abbas, assistant to the Egyptian minister for antiquities, explained that the trial run should serve to recognize any problems in the company and overcrowded areas of the exhibition. This is an important step in preparing for the full opening, which will make all historical treasures of the museum accessible. Restricted tours have been offered since the end of 2022 to test the interest and anticipation for the final opening.

Although the big treasures such as the collections of Tutankhamun remain in the ancient Egyptian museum, those responsible hope that this trial run will provide valuable insights during the transition period. In the coming months, Egypt will continue to be waiting for the official opening of this impressive museum, which will present the inheritance of an impressive civilization with its unique artifacts.
