Egypt held a historic procession for the transfer of remains of 22 royal mummies through the streets of Cairo on Saturday. The ancient mummies -- 18 kings and 4 queens -- have transferred from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo's Tahrir Square to the new National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. During the procession, dubbed the “Pharaohs' Golden Parade”, a special wagon was manufactured for each of the mummies, bearing a unified logo, the mummy's name, and surname in Arabic, English, and hieroglyphs.
