Egypt parades royal mummies en route to new museum

Published
A grand parade of 22 ancient Egyptian royal mummies in special capsules left the Egyptian Museum in central Cairo's Tahrir Square to a new museum home where they can be displayed in greater splendour. The convoy transported 18 kings and four queens, mostly from the New Kingdom to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat, about 5km to the south-east.

A composite image divided into two main sections. On the left, a cutout of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu shaking hands is layered over a background showing a poster of Netanyahu being burned. In the burning poster, text is partially visible, including the word “TERRORIST.“ On the right, a large Iranian flag flies prominently on a flagpole overlooking a dense, hazy urban cityscape with light-colored buildings stretching toward distant mountains. The two sides of the image are stylistically distinct, contrasting the political alliance of the leaders with the regional opposition and the landscape of Iran.
