Egyptians fear that transporting the mummies of 18 ancient kings and 4 queens through the streets of Cairo in a "golden procession" could unleash a "curse of the pharaohs". Some Egyptians have expressed superstitious fears on social media that the parade will curse their country, linking it to recent disasters like the Suez Canal blockade. The procession will move the mummies from their current museum, built in 1902, to a new National Museum of Egyptian Civilization designed to simulate the original burial site in Luxor's Valley of the Kings. The mummies being transferred include Ramses II, Seti I, and Queen Merit Amun.

We start our tour in the British newspapers with
the Daily Telegraph and a report by David J.
Rose, entitled: Egyptians fear "the curse of the
pharaohs" as the parade of mummies approaches.
On Saturday, Egypt holds a "golden procession"
to transport the mummies of the kings of ancient
Egypt to a new museum in Cairo.
The procession, which includes the mummies of
18 kings and four queens, will roam the streets of
Cairo starting at 6 pm in a festive atmosphere.
The writer says that a number of Egyptians who
believe in superstitions have expressed, on social
media, fears that transporting the mummies will
cast a curse on their country.
He adds that some of them have linked the
transportation of mummies to a series of
disasters recently, including the closure of the
Suez Canal for a week, a bloody train accident,
and the bloody collapse of an apartment building
in Cairo.

2. Among the mummies that will be transferred are
the mummy of King Ramses II (who ruled from
1279 to 1213 BC), his father, Seti I (1290-1279
BC), and Queen Merit Amun, the elder sister of
Amenhotep I and his wife (1526 - 1506 BC),
according to Egyptian Ministry of Tourism.
The procession comes to transport the mummies
from their current settlement, which was built in
1902, to an entirely new exhibition at the
National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in
Fustat, Old Cairo, which was designed to
simulate the Valley of the Kings in Luxor where
the kings were originally buried.
The new museum will display the mummies
alongside their original coffins and in a climate-
controlled environment to help preserve them.
