Under the shining lights of the Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, the world’s largest archaeological site, officially opened on Saturday evening in a spectacular event that lasted an hour and a half 🌟.
The celebration featured around 218 artists and international musicians from 79 countries, led by Egyptian maestro Nayer Nagy performing the “Peace” symphony by Hisham Nazih. The main hall showcased stunning visuals of King Ramses II, with 39 kings, presidents, and princes in attendance.
President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi delivered a speech emphasizing that “the museum is not just a building, but a gateway to shared human heritage,” followed by a private tour of the museum’s vast glass corridors housing over 100,000 artifacts, including the complete treasures of Tutankhamun for the first time 🏺.
Amid the global attention, fake photos appeared online showing Alaa and Gamal Mubarak in the front rows, many generated using artificial intelligence 🤖.
Alaa Mubarak denied attending in person, posting on X: “Congratulations on the opening of the largest archaeological museum in human history. We enjoyed watching the event with our family on TV.” His son Omar added humorously: “So Dad was at the opening? But the guy next to me is asking me to make him tea, who is this?” 😂
Earlier, Alaa clarified that the family had not received an invitation but expressed joy that the museum’s long-awaited opening, including the full treasures of Tutankhamun, could be enjoyed by all.
