Eid Mubarak to all who celebrate Eid al-Adha. Wishing you, your families and friends much happiness and joy.

A piece of King Tut’s history is officially coming home 🇪🇬👑

The Grand Egyptian Museum has received rare original recordings documenting the discovery and opening of Tutankhamun’s tomb by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. The archival footage and films were donated by Saudi official Turki Alalshikh and are expected to become part of the museum’s historic collection.

Tutankhamun remains one of the most famous pharaohs in ancient Egyptian history, and his tomb discovery became one of archaeology’s greatest moments ever recorded. Bringing these original archives to Egypt adds another layer to preserving the story for future generations.

If you could witness one moment from ancient Egyptian history in real life… what would it be? 👀
