THE TOUTANKHAMON EXHIBITION MIGHT HIT A NEW RECORD WITH ABOVE 1.2 MILLION VISITOR Will It cross the record of the first exhibition Toutankhamon in Paris, 50 years ago? It was nicknamed "the exhibition of the century", above the 1 million visitors. In any case, 150 000 people have already bought their ticket to come to La Villette, on two thousand square meters, the treasure of the pharaoh. And the Egyptian Minister of Antiquities warns: this is the final trip of Toutankhamon in Paris. Egypt has "built a very large museum, near the pyramids" whose opening is scheduled for the end of 2020, so "this trip of a few objects of Toutankhamon has a message: invite tourists from around the world to come to Egypt to admire the collection Toutankhamon, exhibited in its entirety, for the first time since its discovery, "says Khaled El Anany. In 1922, 5,500 objects were discovered by Howard Carter entering for the first time in this untouched tomb of the Valley of Kings. And one of the merits of this exhibition is also to revive this wonderful archeological adventure, synthesized images, plans, photos and videos in support.----------------------- "Toutankhamon, the treasure of the Pharaoh" is until September 15 in Paris, the second leg of this traveling exhibition in a dozen metropolises around the world before returning to Cairo. The resources that Egypt expects from the Toutankhamon exhibition in ten cities around the world will be a "derisory" amount compared to the funding budget of the Great Egyptian Museum of Giza, said Thursday Khaled El-Enany, new Minister of Egyptian Antiquities.
