- It's the most significant archaeological museum in the world, located at the foot of the pyramids. It is the future home for ALL of Tutankhamun's treasures. And it is OPEN... sort of... well, partially, at least. The exciting news is that they just opened access to the Grand Staircase, which contains 70 plus colossal statues, lintels, sarcophagi, and more! Come with Laura and see what you can if you go today-before the big grand opening, which will take place...?????????

Nice! I am coming in November and I hope that it is open by then.
Thank you for showing some parts of the new GEM. Also I'm so amazed at your knowledge. Hope I meet you one day when I visit Egypt. Probably in the Spring 2025
thanks so much Anne. Hopefully you may go with us in Spring 2025! Everyone should see Egypt - especially now!
Merci pour cette vidéo 🙏 j ai hâte de venir visiter ❤
Looks amazing!
its 10 years they are about to open LOL
Seems like these sculptures are assembled together a bit like curios, but out of context to one another, though they represent cultures hundreds of years apart....am I wrong.
Would be a interesting video but for the poor sound quality 😊
yes, I did have an issue with audio. My mic stopped working properly after I entered. So I did my best with ensuring there were subtitles. Certainly, the video could’ve been better with better audio a fair comment
The photo clicking is incredibly annoying, why not a smooth transition from one topic to another, and the yellow flashes 🫣
Is your background music Egyptian or from India???
Should be fully open now...still is not.
1:52 Really? I've played Halo 2 and I've never seen that statue anywhere in the Cairo Station levels. Was it an easter egg maybe?
It sure did. I am not a gamer so I cannot speak for Halo too - but just google it. Here is one link: english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/50/1207/365917/AlAhram-Weekly/Heritage/Ramses-the-Great-welcomes-visitors-.aspx
What’s with the Indian background music?
that is the. music they use in the museum
Indian music ? Come on
The music is very distracting. It is not Egyptian and detracts from what you’re saying. Please remove
Why are you blipping and flashing the pictures? You ruined what could have been a good video. 👎🏻
I would recommend people avoid Egypt. It’s corrupt and a nightmare for a foriegner, seriously - some very sinister things have happened to friends. From corrupt police officers, to blackmail, to theft… to physical harrassment. I love Ancient Egypt but this ugly museum and it’s repressive and corrupt society are not worth taking a risk on.
having been to Egypt close to 20 times now - And every year since 2010 - I heartily dis agree with you. It is a wonderful country with welcoming people and going through a very exciting Renaissance right now. The museum is going to be fantastic Once fully open!
Anything to do with Ancient Egypt at Egypt's Museums are naturally suspect because the time line they use does not reflect the true timeline of history. Remember Ancient Egyptian contributed the pyramids and associated structures to an older people who had left them as a legacy of their own civilization.
Interesting comment Ian... Are you questioning the dates museums use in their displays? Yes, it is true that especially in the old Kingdom timelines may be out as much as 100- 150 years. 50 years in the New Kingdom. Some scholars reference low and high chronologies for dating. Still there is no disputing that the legacy of Ancient Egypt is magnificent when it comes to art, architecture, great works - even writings!
And, sadly, as many other museums, this is (again) just a mere "storage" of works. No maps, photos, drawings, etc. showing both when, where and why all those pieces were created, installed and found. Another sad example of the failure of museums that create desolate, destroyed ruins in the original location of all this works and create an artificial "showcase" without context whatsoever.
The museum is not fully opened though. They may include all these things upon completion....
@@mixedchick2113 I do really hope so. I'm truly tired of museums that are mere storage and zero context for works of art...
The lighting on these sculptures is truly unfortunate. This is not a Las Vegas production.
