Unveiling Egypt's $1 Billion Museum [View all]

Many years ago I was fortunate enough to visit the main museum in Cairo Egypt

I thought it darkly lit, small, cramped with way too many incredible historical artifacts, jumbled haphazardly here and there

Looks like they are finally going to do it right...
Entering the cavernous structure and seeing the towering 82 ton statue of Ramsey II will surely take one's breath away !



And just imagine how amazing it will be to gaze down the wide open space inside and see the imposing nearby pyramids

Discover the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a monumental $1 billion project set just two kilometers from the Great Pyramids of Giza. This video takes you inside the world's largest archaeological museum, showcasing over 100,000 artifacts, including the entire collection of King Tutankhamun's treasures. Explore how this architectural marvel bridges millennia, blending ancient history with cutting-edge technology in a tribute to Egypt's glorious past.
