Egypt unveils Grand Egyptian Museum dedicated to its ancient civilisation
#GrandEgyptianMuseum #GEM #EgyptMuseum
The Grand Egyptian Museum has officially opened near the pyramids of Giza. The sprawling new museum will house one of the richest collections of antiquities in the world. It took two decades to complete, and cost a billion dollars, mostly through loans. The government is hoping the museum will encourage tourism and boost a struggling economy.
Today, we are celebrating the opening of the Great Egyptian Museum.
We are writing a new chapter in the history of the present and the future.
In the history of this ancient country, this is the largest museum in the world,
dedicated to a single civilization, the Egyptian civilization that cannot be ignored.
This great opening is not just a place to preserve the precious artifacts,
but it is a living testimony to the genius of the Egyptian human being.
I invite you to enjoy this celebration,
and to make this museum a source of dialogue,
a source of knowledge, and a hub of humanity.
A beacon for all those who love life and believe in the value of humanity.
Long live Egypt, and long live humanity.
