King Tut’s bed, chariot moved to new Cairo museum
The golden sarcophagus of King Tutankhamun
Cairo - Arab Today
The chariot of King Tutankhamun rolled through the Egyptian capital’s streets on Tuesday, only on the back of a truck as curators transported it to its new home near the Giza Pyramids.
The wooden chariot was joined by one of the boy-king’s three funerary beds that were on display in the Cairo museum and have now been relocated to the Grand Egyptian Museum near the pyramids.
The gilded bed features posts made of carved lion heads.
But it may take some time for the priceless relics to be viewed again by the public.
The Grand Egyptian Museum had been scheduled to open in 2015, but construction has lagged as expenses mounted to more than $1 billion.
The museum is now scheduled to open partially in 2018.
The vast complex will house more than 100,000 relics including the 4,500 pieces of Tutankhamun’s treasure discovered in 1922 in the southern Valley of the Kings in Luxor.
But the young pharaoh’s mummy will remain in his tomb as it is too fragile to transport.
