Pharaohs' Treasures in World Museums

The Golden Parade of Kings: National Museum of Egyptian Civilization - Cairo

In an event that amazed the entire world, Egypt moved 22 mummies of powerful pharaoh kings and queens, like Ramses II and Hatshepsut, from their old museum to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. They didn't move them in normal cars; instead, they built stunning golden chariots for them that looked just like ancient war chariots! The parade marched through the streets of Cairo at night, surrounded by magical lights and majestic pharaonic music. It felt as if the kings had woken up to take one last journey before sleeping in their new palace, designed with the latest technology to keep them completely safe.

If you were the director of this grand golden parade, which musical instrument would you have play the loudest to announce the kings' arrival?
