The world's largest! The Grand Egyptian Museum's top star debuts! The archaeology world is buzzing!

🌍 The world's largest! The Grand Egyptian Museum's top star debuts! The archaeology world is buzzing! After 20 years of preparation and a 7 billion yuan investment, the Grand Egyptian Museum has officially announced its opening on July 3rd! 💥 Located at the foot of the pyramids, covering an area of 500,000 square meters, it is truly a "world-class treasure trove of cultural relics"! 【Millennium Epic Easter Egg】 The museum houses 100,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts, with 30,000 on public display for the first time! ✨ The most stunning highlight is the complete exhibition of over 5,000 burial items of Pharaoh Tutankhamun! Pure gold anthropoid coffins, golden sandals... the entire set of "Pharaoh's bling" dazzles so brightly it’s hard to look away! There has long been a legend that those who touch the pharaoh's tomb will be cursed, but the museum director jokes that this time it’s "safe and risk-free" 😂 (people like me who are timid still can’t help but shiver). 【High-tech by the Pyramids】 The new museum’s design is full of clever ideas! At the entrance stands an 11-meter-tall statue of Ramses II, exuding a powerful aura; the grand staircase on the second floor leads directly to the "Pyramid Center Viewing Platform," where panoramic glass windows perfectly align with the central axis of the three pyramids — the ancient Egyptians’ mathematical genius is off the charts! Even more amazing, every year on February 22, sunlight passes through a specific window to recreate the magical scene of the Abu Simbel Temple’s "Sun Festival" 🌞 (highly recommended for couples to check in, the romance level is off the charts). 【Special Exhibition Tips】 - ⏰ Opening hours: Daily from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM (to explore thoroughly, at least 5 hours are needed, so plan enough time!); - 🎟️ Ticket purchase: Must be paid on the official website with a Visa card! Guided tour tickets are 1700 EGP, regular tickets 1200 EGP (about 300+ RMB, more expensive than the old museum but absolutely worth it!); - ⚠️ Notes: The air conditioning inside is very cold, remember to bring a jacket; wear sneakers for sure (walking through 500,000 square meters is tough on your legs); photography is prohibited in the mummy exhibition area, don’t break the rules! - 🚨 Fun fact: The museum’s crown jewel is an 82-ton statue of Ramses II! Next to it is the world’s only suspended obelisk, a must-see spot!
