CAIRO, Jan 17 (MENA) - The "Ramses and the Gold of the Pharaohs" exhibition will continue its tours in the fifth city of Cologne, Germany, during the period between July 13, 2024 and January 6, 2025, the cabinet announced during a meeting, which was chaired by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli on Wednesday.

The exhibition is showcasing priceless artefacts of King Ramses II.

It features 182 invaluable artefacts, including the coffin of King Ramses II, one of the most impressive royal coffins from ancient Egypt ever to be discovered – as well as the timeless beauty of jewelry, funerary masks, amulets, and animal sarcophagi, many of which have never left Egypt before.

In a related development, the cabinet decided to return the wooden coffin of Sennedjem to Egypt, bringing the number of artefacts in the exhibition to 180.

The coffins of Sennedjem and one of his wives were found inside his tomb discovered in 1886 by French Egyptologist Maspero. (MENA)
