The conception of the modern-day civilizations can by some way be adhered to the Egyptians, the culture and progression and the development of the modern world from what was the conception of humanity itself is without a doubt spearheaded by the age of the pharos as well as the birth of the pyramids, as a modern-day society in 2021 it's often harder for us to comprehend the sheer scale of time between us and the first pharos, yet the people of Egypt remember it all too well, with this latest move in order to modernize the tombs of what were once the greatest rulers of the kingdom.  The Egyptian government and the people in charge have ensured that the history of their culture and thereby that of the world is preserved for the foreseeable future.  

  The Briefing: Ancient mummies of Egypt's royal pharaohs emerged from their resting place of decades on Saturday(3rd April 2021) and were paraded through the streets of the capital of Egypt Cairo to a new home, The parade route took place between the Egyptian museum and their old location near Tahrir square to their new home the national museum of Egyptian civilization, in Egypt's first Islamic capital al fustat.  22 royal Egyptian mummies, 17 royal sarcophagi were also transported in this procession, which moved along the Nile river and was accompanied by chariots and horses. 

Sarcophagi are stone coffins often adorned with sculptures and inscriptions.  famous mummies were those of king Ramses 2, seti 1 , Seqqnenre and Tuthmisis 3 in addition to the four queens Ahose-neferatri, Tiye, Mertiamun, and Hatshepsut.   The mummies were first unearthed in 1881, at dier el Bahari in Luxor's west bank in tomb tt320. 

The conservation process is placing each mummy in an oxygen-free nitrogen capsule which can keep it preserved without being damaged from the effects of humidity especially we're talking bout bacteria fungi and insects.  mummies upon arrival to the museum will be kept in the exact same conditions as the nitrogen capsules so there will not be any shock for the mummy when they are removed from the body and put into the new high-tech units.

Accompanying each mummy will be any belongings discovered alongside them including their coffins, as well as a CT scan which reveals what is beneath the wraps and sometimes any breaks in the bones or diseases that affected the royals.
