The Relocation of King Ramses II
Posted on
Alexandria—the BA is presenting a film showing the relocation of King Ramses II statue, the greatest king in Egypt and the whole world, to the new Egyptian Museum. The film includes a presentation by Engineer Ibrahim Mehlb, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Arab Contractors Co. , which was the company in charge of the relocation process. The presentation explains the techniques followed in preparation and implementation of the relocation process.
King Ramses II was the Greatest King in Ancient Egypt, who made unprecedented achievements architecturally and militarily, and gained wide reputation throughout the ancient Egyptian Civilization. His mummy was received in Paris with due recognition and praise, twenty one bullets were fired to greet an Egyptian king who visited France. The trip was in the age of the Egyptian President Anwar El-Saddat and the French President Giscard d’ Estaing. He is the only Egyptian King who left a fingerprint in each and every place in Egypt.
