GIZA, Egypt, May 5, 2018 (MENA) – Egypt's Minister of Antiquities Khaled el Anani announced that the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) will be inaugurated in 2022. According to the set timeline, the second phase of the relevant project includes moving 54 artifacts to the new museum by July 2020, Anani told MENA on Saturday. All the treasures and unique collectibles of King Tutankhamun will be displayed for the first time during the Grand Egyptian Museum's partial inauguration by the end of 2018. Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (ruled c. 1332–1323 BC in the conventional chronology), during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom or sometimes the New Empire Period. The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter of Tutankhamun's nearly intact tomb sparked a renewed public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutankhamun's mask remains the popular symbol.
